MRF shares fall after heavy raw material costs push Q2 profit down. Why Motial Oswal screams Sell

MRF reported a 27% YoY decline in Q2 consolidated net profit to Rs 387 crore, as a 43% surge in raw material costs offset 17% revenue growth to Rs 8,660 crore. Motilal Oswal maintained its ‘Sell’ rating with a target price of Rs 1.05 lakh, citing margin pressure, rising input costs and demand concerns.
