Q4 Results Preview: Reliance, Maruti, Shriram Finance, L&T Finance Earnings Today
Q4 Results Preview reports for key Indian companies are in focus today, April 25, 2025, ahead of the market opening. Investors are keenly watching earnings from Reliance Industries, Maruti Suzuki, Shriram Finance, and L&T Finance Holdings, which are expected to influence the day’s trading sentiment significantly.
Reliance Q4 Results: Soft O2C May Drag Bottom Line
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is expected to report muted earnings growth in its Q4 FY25 results. According to analysts:
- Net Profit may decline ~5% YoY due to weakness in the oil-to-chemicals (O2C) vertical.
- Revenue Growth is forecasted at 4% YoY, supported by better performance in the retail and telecom divisions.
- EBITDA growth is pegged between 1–3%, with robust trends expected from Reliance Jio and retail arm Reliance Retail.
Despite macro pressures, the company’s diversification into digital and new energy may act as a buffer.
Maruti Suzuki Q4: Mixed Bag as Volumes Rise but Costs Pinch
Maruti Suzuki’s Q4 results are anticipated with a positive revenue trajectory, but margins may face headwinds:
- Revenue could grow 4–10% YoY, led by improved sales volumes and selective price hikes.
- Net Profit estimates are mixed as input cost inflation and marketing expenses may compress margins.
- Broker Sentiment: Cautiously optimistic; watch for commentary on demand outlook and product pipeline.
Maruti’s performance will also serve as a bellwether for the broader auto sector.

Shriram Finance is likely to deliver strong Q4 earnings, driven by healthy disbursement momentum:
- Net Profit expected to rise by 10% YoY to approx. ₹2,133 crore.
- Net Interest Income (NII) could increase by 14.3% to ₹5,815 crore.
- Loan growth in rural and commercial vehicle segments remains the key driver.

L&T Finance is positioned to report upbeat numbers for the March 2025 quarter:
- Net Profit is projected at ₹630.81 crore, with revenues near ₹2,520 crore.
- Strong demand across retail loan segments is expected to support performance.
- The stock has already surged nearly 14% over the past week, reflecting optimistic sentiment.
Investors will focus on AUM growth and commentary on transformation into a retail-focused NBFC.
