Hindalco Industries Ltd
Hindalco Industries Ltd is expected to report a net profit of ₹2,300 crore in the quarter ended September 2023, registering a YoY growth of 2.8%. Revenue is expected to drop 15% YoY to ₹47,800 crore, while EBITDA is estimated to rise 1.4% YoY to ₹5,400 crore, according to Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
The brokerage states that a sequential fall of 5%/17%/27% in Revenue/EBITDA/APAT is anticipated for the metals industry. The decline in ASP, the low prices of ferrous and LME, the seasonally sluggish quarter, and the unpredictability of the global macroeconomic environment are the reasons for this decline. Ferrous, non-ferrous, and mining companies were expected to report mixed results by the brokerage.
“Novelis EBITDA/t guidance is crucial. Timeline on commissioning of multiple capex is crucial. We await management guidance on domestic Aluminum demand along with the hedging position,” the brokerage said.
M&M
M&M is expected to see decent revenue growth in Q2FY24 on the back of strong volumes, while margins may remain under pressure sequentially due to unfavorable mix.
M&M’s total volume growth remained strong in Q2FY24 led by improving supply chain and execution of order books. However, weakness was seen in tractor volumes. The company’s total volume growth during the quarter was 11% YoY at 302,139 units.
Revenue in the quarter ended September 2023 is expected to rise 19% to ₹25,000 crore from ₹21,010 crore in the corresponding quarter of last fiscal year, as per average estimates of five brokerages.
The company’s net profit during the quarter is expected to rise 27% to ₹2,944.2 crore from ₹2,315.9 crore, YoY.
