Bosch stock: Q2 results show stronger automotive demand

Bosch Limited reported strong consolidated results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, while proposing a share split and bonus issue. The Bosch India release dated November 6 said consolidated revenue from operations reached INR 7,655 crore, a 28.2% increase from the prior-year quarter.

Automotive demand drives quarterly growth

Profit after tax was INR 840 crore, up 19% year over year. The result included a INR 130 crore reversal of a service award provision recorded as an exceptional item, making the adjusted earnings trend less strong than the reported figure.

Automotive product sales increased 29.8%. Power Solutions revenue grew 36.4%, while Vehicle Motion advanced 34.9%; the two-wheeler business rose 17.7%. The quarter also included Bosch Chassis Systems India Private Limited in the consolidated accounts for the first time after its acquisition.

Corporate actions await approval

Bosch's board approved the use of retained earnings for three bonus shares for every existing share. It also proposed dividing each INR 10 share into five shares with a face value of INR 2. Both measures require shareholder approval, and the record date has not yet been set.

The company said standalone revenue rose 28.6% to INR 6,164 crore, while standalone profit after tax reached INR 675 crore. The difference between standalone and consolidated results is relevant because the newly consolidated chassis-systems subsidiary contributed to the group figures.
