VST Tillers Tractors

A normal monsoon, as predicted by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is likely to boost farmers' income which may drive up tractor demand, analysts said

The recent dip came after VST Tillers Tractors Ltd reported a 13.4 per cent year on year (YoY) decline in net profit to Rs 34.8 crore for Q4FY24 on Thursday

The company announced its March sales data at the beginning of the month. Total sales plunged to 4,823 units in March 2024, from 6,468 units in March 2023

The company registered a rise in its YTD sales data until November 2023, which stood at 22,875 units, 6.9% more when compared to 21,393 units sold during the same period last year

Analysts believe the on-going rally across tractor stocks may face headwinds from spatial distribution of monsoon across the country, which could keep sentiments in check
