The companies Jefferies covered during the March quarter, excluding metals and oil and gas, reported 25% year-on-year earnings growth, the brokerage said.
Domestic companies, excluding oil and gas, metals, and exporters, posted 30% year-on-year growth in earnings, according to Jefferies. Revenue and Ebitda in the analysed universe grew by 16% and 18% year-on-year, respectively.
“Domestic companies’ earnings rose … margins rose year-on-year, and revenue growth remained at mid-teen,” Jefferies said.

The brokerage reported Ebitda growth lagging revenue growth at 11.5% for this group of companies, as Ebitda margin declined annually across most commodity-consuming sectors, except autos and real estate.
