This achievement comes after a two-day consecutive gain, during which the stock has appreciated by 7.53%. Despite this positive momentum, it has slightly underperformed its sector by 0.76% today.
The company has demonstrated robust financial health, with a remarkable return on capital employed (ROCE) of 19.66% and a consistent annual growth rate in net sales of 23.92%.

TVS Motor's operating cash flow reached a record high of Rs. 3,502.92 crore, and its profit after tax for the first nine months stands at Rs. 1,813.74 crore, reflecting a growth of 37.87%. The company has maintained positive results for seven consecutive quarters, showcasing its strong market position and operational efficiency. However, it is important to note the company's high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.21 times, which may pose challenges in servicing its debt obligations.
