The company’s expenses for the quarter came in at Rs 731 crore, down 20% from Rs 923 crore in Q4FY25, the company said in a regulatory filing.

Profit after tax declined 56% to Rs 166 crore, down from Rs 380 crore posted in FY25, the company said on Saturday. Jupiter Wagons shares have declined 14% since the beginning of the year and about 26% in the past 1 year. The stock has been in the news off late after a report said Indian Railways is preparing to launch a mega Rs 40,000-crore tender to procure 1 lakh freight wagons over the next three to four years.

Last month, international brokerage Jefferies initiated coverage on Jupiter Wagons with an ‘Underperform’ rating and a target price of Rs 200, implying a potential downside of 31% from Rs 290. Jefferies expects growth at Jupiter Wagons to moderate as the business remains heavily dependent on the lower-growth freight wagon segment.

The brokerage estimates a 23% EPS CAGR for Jupiter Wagons over FY26-30, significantly lower than Titagarh’s projected 43%, with wagons expected to continue contributing more than 60% of overall sales even by FY28. It also said the company’s new wheel manufacturing facility is likely to make a meaningful contribution only after FY28.
