Maruti Suzuki stock hits 18-month low of ₹11,126.05, down 33% in 2026 on commodity-cost worries
Our read
Maruti Suzuki will more likely than not stay range-bound near its ₹11,126.05 low until commodity costs ease or margin evidence supports the FY27 earnings recovery.
For operators
Maruti Suzuki's 33% slide in 2026 to an 18-month low of ₹11,126.05 signals that West Asia-linked commodity costs are squeezing auto margins, so suppliers and dealers should expect tougher cost and pricing talks while the company chases its target of regaining 50% market share.
Watch
Shares holding above ₹11,126.05 through the next quarterly results would mean the commodity-cost selloff has bottomed and the FY27 earnings-normalising view is gaining.
The report,
Maruti Suzuki fell 2% on the BSE on Tuesday as West Asia tensions raised fears of costlier commodities, while the Sensex is down 15% this year. Its FY26 annual report targets regaining 50% market share. Analysts expect FY27 earnings normalisation.

Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Maruti Suzuki is likely to point to commodity-cost pressure at its next results, while reiterating the FY26 annual report goal of regaining 50% market share.
- Maruti Suzuki may weigh selective price increases to offset input costs, trading some volume risk against margin protection.
- Analysts are likely to keep their view that FY27 earnings will normalise, but may trim estimates if West Asia-linked commodity costs stay high.
- Rival carmakers may face the same cost squeeze and are likely to hold back on discounting, which would help Maruti Suzuki defend share.
- Institutional investors will more likely than not wait for margin evidence before adding to the stock after its 18-month low.
