profile help you track important events. The stock fell 5.7% to 790.4 on Monday. The company's average
realisation improved an estimated 4.2% YoY in the September quarter, but that was not sufficient to deal
with higher input costs. Apart from that, the standalone M&M entity was hit like several other ndian firms
because of a forex-related loss of 21.6 crore with the weakening of the rupee due to rupee depreciation.
As a result, net profit declined 2.8% YoY in Q2.

The company, in a press statement, has said that a more objective analysis would involve the combined
results of both M&M and MVML for the quarter.

Going forward, the company's focus on rural markets is expected to help it to grow faster than the
industry growth, in various segments. Also, non-ferrous and other metal prices have shown signs of
easing over the past few weeks, but the rupee has weakened. M&M trades at a standalone P/E of nearly
17.7 times on a trailing four-quarter basis, given an array of its investments in various sectors. Shares of
ndia's top utility vehicle maker Mahindra and Mahindra touched a 52-week high of 874.75 late last month,
given the company's robust model of a strong focus on rural and semi-urban markets with its tractors and
utility vehicles portfolio
