What Is Driving Renewed Bullishness on Ather Energy After Its Strong Q2?
About Ather Energy
Ather Energy is a leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer with strong positioning in India’s premium EV scooter segment. The company continues to expand its capacity, strengthen supply-chain efficiency and improve its non-vehicle revenue streams, including charging, servicing and digital offerings.
Ather Energy posted a powerful set of Q2 numbers with significant improvement in revenue and operating metrics despite regulatory shifts and volume softness. Emkay Global has reiterated its BUY stance citing margin recovery and long-term product leadership.
Financial Highlights (Q2)
| Metric | Q2 FY25 | YoY | QoQ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹890 Cr | +54% | -67% |
| EBITDA | ₹130 Cr | -14.7% | -21% |
| Gross Margin | 17.3% | vs 16.5% | Improved |
Revenue growth surged on strong EV demand and better pricing dynamics.
EBITDA contraction came mainly from higher operating costs linked to pre-festive inventory and regulatory adjustments.
Margin recovery was visible as gross margins expanded to 17.3% on scale and cost optimisation.
