Maruti Suzuki, Eternal, Ceat, Castrol and Piramal Pharma will announce the financial results for the fourth quarter of the current financial year on Tuesday. The earnings statements will be disclosed through the stock exchanges.
Among auto giants Maruti Suzuki is expected to report strong March-quarter revenue growth and a modest rise in profit, supported by higher volumes, better product mix and exports, while analysts remain divided on whether rising commodity costs and discounting offset those gains at the margin level. Profit is likely to rise 10% to Rs 4,086 crore and revenue will gain 25% to Rs 50,835 crore. Ebitda will rise 40% at Rs 5,967 crore with margin at 11.73%.

CEAT is expected to report a sharp rise in March-quarter earnings, with revenue seen climbing 23% and profit nearly doubling, helped by strong domestic demand and the consolidation of Camso, even as higher raw material and freight costs weigh on sequential margin.
