It saw its losses deepen in the third quarter and reported the worst performance since the 2008 global financial crisis. In the July-September quarter it reported net loss of $89.1 million. This default comes after Mahindra’s decision to no longer inject money into its subsidiary. In April this year, M&amp;M’s board had rejected a proposal to inject any fresh equity into Ssangyong. The pain point: Ssangyong acquisition Mahindra acquired the loss-making Ssangyong in 2010. Despite several attempts, it has failed to turn its fortune around. M&amp;M holds nearly 75% in the Korean subsidiary now, and has since injected over $110 million in it. Mahindra has been looking for a potential buyer for SsangYong, after the loss making subsidiary took <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/mm-share-price-gains-as-ssangyong-dents-fourth-quarter-profit/articleshow/76338292.cms">a toll on its profit</a> this year.

The farm equipment segment contributes around 30% to the overall revenue of the company. And, it is expected to show faster recovery than other segments, on the back of strong Rabi crop harvest, procurement by state governments at remunerative prices, healthy water levels and timely arrival of monsoon. This expectation is despite the fact that the tractor volume declined 24% YoY to 65,651units in the April to June quarter. <div type="image" title="M&amp;amp;M Revenue" msid="77389263" hostid="261"></div> M&amp;M’s recovery is better than the peers The Mahindra group had the benefit of catering to the farm sector at a time when the coronavirus induced lockdown had brought the urban demand for cars to a standstill during this period, and that’s a reason why it has also been the better performing of the auto stocks this year. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Stock </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Growth since March 31 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">M&amp;M </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">114% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">TVS Motor </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">37.39% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Eicher Motor </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">66.53% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Bajaj Auto </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9960975000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">48.52% </td></tr></tbody></table> After its competitor, Escorts already posted marginal profit in first-quarter earnings; investors are now watching for M&amp;M to show a similar or better trend.

Although in January to March quarter the lockdown was just for one week, the quarter turned out to be full of losses for M&amp;M — when the company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹3,255 crore, largely because of a one-time charge for global subsidiaries like Ssangyong. However, there’s no such indication of further investment in SsangYong, according to Prabhudas Liladher report. But the lost sales in April and early May might drag the profit.
