M&M Q2 results: Standalone profit rises 13% to Rs 5,102 crore, revenue jumps 26%; shares gain nearly 5%

Mahindra & Mahindra's 26% revenue growth and 13% profit rise signal resilient Indian auto demand, lifting shares 4.8% despite a 17.6% year-to-date decline. The beat supports sentiment toward Nifty 50 auto constituents, though weakness in the farm-equipment segment and the index's broader 6.4% slide limit follow-through. Single-stock earnings are unlikely to shift macro positioning.
