The full read
JK Tyre posted a record year. Revenue climbed 11% to ₹16,384 crore, but it was the profit line that moved: consolidated net profit jumped 52% to ₹774 crore, while EBITDA rose 25% to ₹2,089 crore. The gap between top-line and bottom-line growth points to better pricing and a richer mix. The final quarter delivered the sharpest gains, with profit after tax surging 83% to ₹188 crore on the back of a 21% volume increase in the company's Indian operations. The board's decision to double the dividend to ₹4 per share matches the earnings trajectory. For a cyclical business, the open question is whether this kind of pace holds through a full commodity cycle.
