Tata Motors Slips 4% on Poor JLR Performance

Picture Source: Internet

Shares of Tata Motors fell 4% on Thursday as luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) widened its losses for the April-June period due to poor results.


However, by 10.03 am, the stock had retreated from its first-day low, down 1.4% to Rs 437.55 on the BSE. Jaguar Land Rover tax widens Tata Motors loss to Rs 5,007 crore.

JLR’s revenue was impacted by supply changes, including semiconductor shortages, lower-than-expected production growth for the new Range Rover and new Range Rover Sport, and production shutdowns in China.


JLR’s loss primarily reflected lower wholesale volumes and a weaker mix, as well as unfavourable inflation and currency and commodity revaluations. Additionally, Tata Motors said in its earnings report that operating margins were due to lower sales volumes and an unfavourable mix.


Jefferies said weak earnings at JLR led to a drop in EBITDA, but the company expected a significant improvement in the next quarter. However, the foreign brokerage cut its FY23 EPS forecast by 24%.


Nomura pointed to weaker-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, adding that debt reduction is a key driver of the stock’s future performance. The brokerage also said improving chip supply would help JLR.

SBI Raises $500 Million Via Three-Year Syndicated Loan at Fine Pricing

Nilesh

The State Bank of India (SBI) has raised $500 million through a three-year syndicated loan at affordable pricing. This is the first offshore Secured Overnight Financing Rate-linked loan by SBI through its IFSC Gift City branch. SBI said that its substantial presence in international markets helped it to get very fair pricing amid the ongoing turbulence in financial markets due to geopolitical tensions and rate hike predictions by the US Federal Reserve and other central banks across the globe.


The managing director of SBI, Ashwini Kumar Tewari, said, “The successful launch of the syndicated loan at such a fine pricing displays the reputation SBI has created for itself in offshore financial markets.” In a statement, the bank said that this was another step toward IFSC Gift City being an international financial centre and that SBI’s Gift City branch had become the largest in the IFSC. SBI’s advances in foreign offices rose by 21.35 per cent on a year-on-year (YoY) basis to Rs 4.0 trillion at the end of December 2021, while deposits increased by 16.54 per cent YoY Rs 1.29 trillion.
