SpiceJet shares rose 5% after the company posted a profit of Rs 48 crore in the fourth quarter, compared to a loss of Rs 404 crore in the same period last year.
The profit increase was attributed to one-off gains, higher fares, reduced costs, and forex gains.
One-off income of Rs 220 crore from the gain on lease liability restructuring and cost reductions in areas like fuel, airport charges, and maintenance contributed to profitability.
However, revenue decreased by 25% to Rs 5,326 crore due to a smaller fleet size.
Ebitdar rose by 16% to Rs 1,635 crore for the quarter ending in March.
SpiceJet shares reached Rs 46 apiece, a 5% increase and the highest level since June 12.
As of 9:20 a.m., the shares were trading 3.29% higher at Rs 45.25 apiece.
SpiceJet's year-to-date performance showed a 17.15% decline, with a 60.48 relative strength index.
Analysts' opinions vary, with one 'buy' rating, one 'hold' recommendation, and one 'sell' suggestion, with a 2.8% upside in the average consensus price target.
