Tata Motors shares rise even as net profit slides 30% in Q1, should you buy, sell, or hold?

Shares of automobile giant Tata Motors Ltd saw an uptick in the early session on Monday, August 11, even after the Tata group firm reported a 30 percent fall in net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Tata Motors Q1 FY26 Results
Tata Motors reported a consolidated net profit of ₹3,924 crore for April–June FY26, marking a 30% drop from ₹5,643 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations fell 2.5% year-on-year to ₹1.04 lakh crore, compared to ₹1.07 lakh crore in Q1 FY25.

The automaker attributed the weaker performance to volume declines across all business segments and reduced profitability at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). JLR’s revenue slipped over 9% to £6.6 billion, with EBIT margin contracting 490 basis points to 4%, impacted in part by tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.

At 9:25 a.m., Tata Motors’ shares were trading at ₹637.85 on the NSE, up 0.6%.
