PAG’s Q3 EBITDA was 7-19% ahead of street/our estimates, largely led by 250- 370bps better margin, as topline was 1-5% lower. Revenue growth moderated to 7% (vs 11% in Q2) due to muted demand environment.

ONGC’s Q3FY25 SA EBITDA came in at Rs170.4bn, a 4% beat to our estimate, mainly led by higher-than-expected revenues. RPAT at Rs82.4bn was a 4% miss on higher DD&A; and lower other income.
GHCL’s Q3 EBITDA at Rs2.3bn (+53% YoY/+9% QoQ) was above our estimates largely due to operational efficiency resulting in cost savings (volumes are flat YoY/QoQ).
KBL reported an 11% PAT miss in 3Q at Rs2.8bn, due to lower margins – down by 21bps QoQ to 3% (partly due to change in penal interest recognition), and other income, as the bank adopted a calibrated growth approach amid rising liquidity/cost pressures.
