Ola Electric shares hit all-time low amid block deals, stock down over 49 pc this year
Shares of Ola Electric Mobility fell sharply on Monday, touching an all-time low of Rs 43.20 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
The stock dropped by nearly 6 per cent during the intra-day trading session after a block deal involving 0.8 per cent of the company’s equity took place.
Shares worth around Rs 107 crore were traded in this deal, but the names of the buyers and sellers were not made public.
At around 1 P.M., Ola Electric’s shares were trading at Rs 43.92, down Rs 2.16 or 4.69 per cent for the day.
The drop in share price is also being linked to the company’s weak financial performance in the fourth quarter (Q4) of FY25.
Ola Electric reported a net loss of Rs 870 crore, which is more than double the Rs 416 crore loss it reported in the same period previous fiscal (Q4 FY24).
The losses were driven by heavy discounts and falling sales. Revenue from operations fell 62 per cent Year-on-Year (YoY) to Rs 611 crore.
Vehicle registrations dropped over 52 per cent to 56,760 units, and deliveries were down by half at 51,375 units.
However, Ola Electric’s management remains optimistic. The company said it is focussed on becoming profitable by FY26.
