Apollo Tyres shares takes a knock

Apollo Tyres shares fell by more than 4 per cent despite the company’s results for the fourth quarter of FY23 being better than the market estimates, due to two main reasons. The first is that the market was already expecting good results and that is the reason why the stock has been strong consistently for 5 days before the results. In 5 days the stock has gained 10%. Not only this, the stock has increased by about 25% in 6 months and about 85% in 1 year. The second reason is that the profit of the company has increased almost four times year on year but this increase in profit has been seen due to reduction in tax and interest expense. In terms of results, the company’s profit in Q4 has increased 3.8 times from Rs 113.4 crore to Rs 427.3 crore. ts income has increased by only 12 percent from Rs 5,578 crore to Rs 6,247 crore.
