Automobile stocks are trading mix today with Tata Motors and Eicher Motors being the top losers. The stock of Tata Motors has dipped due to lower than expected consolidated net profit which the company reported for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2015. The consolidated net profit for the concerned quarter stood at Rs 17.2 bn as against Rs 39.2 bn for the quarter of last fiscal. This fall was on account of lower than expected operating performance at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and mark-to-market (MTM) loss provisioning at JLR. Consolidated revenue however increased by 3.5% to Rs 675.7 bn in the quarter backed by increased wholesale volumes and richer product mix both in the standalone business and JLR. Currently the stock of Tata Motors is trading down nearly 5.3%.
