According to reports from The Hindu BusinessLine, Escorts Kubota delivered robust financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a 29.6% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit from continuing operations to ₹324.8 crore, driven by strong tractor sales and margin expansion. Revenue from continuing operations stood at ₹2,950.7 crore, up 21.4% from ₹2,430.3 crore in the same quarter last year. EBITDA grew 31.8% to ₹386.0 crore, with margins expanding 103 basis points to 13.1%. Profit before tax, before exceptional items, came in at ₹433.8 crore, up 21.1%.
As reported by The Hindu BusinessLine, the tractor segment led the volume recovery with sales rising 21.1% to 32,257 units in Q4. For the full year, tractor volumes grew 15.7% to 1,33,670 units, with segment revenue up 15.8% to ₹9,779.6 crore and EBIT margins improving 190 basis points to 12.6%.

According to The Hindu BusinessLine, for FY26, standalone revenue from continuing operations grew 12.6% to ₹11,472.8 crore. Net profit from continuing operations rose 24.4% to ₹1,380.9 crore, with earnings per share at ₹125.52. A significant boost to the full-year numbers came from the divestment of the Railway business, which was completed during FY26. The transaction yielded ₹1,601.7 crore net of costs, pushing standalone net profit including discontinued operations to ₹2,408.6 crore, nearly double the previous year's ₹1,250.9 crore.
As reported by The Hindu BusinessLine, the board recommended a final dividend of ₹33 per share. Combined with the special dividend of ₹18 per share already paid earlier in the year, the total payout for FY26 stands at ₹51 per share, an 82.1% increase over the prior year. This substantial dividend increase reflects the company's strong financial performance and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
