Mahindra & Mahindra Q3 FY26 Results: Anticipated Strong Earnings Driven by Auto and Farm Growth
Auto industry leader Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is scheduled to unveil its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 today, on 11 February 2026. Market analysts and brokerage firms are projecting a period of robust financial performance for the company, largely fueled by impressive growth in both automotive and farm equipment volumes, alongside healthy pricing realizations.
Projected Financial Highlights for Q3 FY26
According to consensus estimates from leading brokerages, M&M is expected to report a significant 33% year-on-year increase in net profit, reaching approximately ₹3,943 crore for the December 2025 quarter. This marks a substantial rise from the ₹2,964.3 crore net profit recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
On the revenue front, the company's top line is estimated to grow by around 30% year-on-year, climbing to about ₹39,700 crore in Q3 FY26, compared to ₹30,538 crore in Q3 FY25. This growth trajectory underscores the company's strong market positioning and operational efficiency.
Key Drivers Behind the Expected Performance
The anticipated earnings surge is primarily attributed to a remarkable 23.1% year-on-year growth in total sales volumes, which stood at 4,22,937 units for the quarter ended December 2025. This volume expansion spans across M&M's core segments, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and farm equipment.
Furthermore, net realizations are projected to remain robust, with an estimated growth of over 7% year-on-year. The combination of higher volumes and improved realizations, coupled with positive operating leverage, is likely to significantly bolster the company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and overall profitability margins.
