Fundamental Analysis:
Market cap ~₹2.1 lakh Cr, TTM P/E 32.43 (sector avg ~25), P/B 2.29, debt/equity 0.85 (improving). Q2FY26: Revenue ₹58,689 Cr (+9% YoY), EBITDA ₹9,106 Cr (15.5% margin +QoQ), PAT ₹3,183 Cr (+299% YoY) via India volumes (+17%) and cost cuts; 5Y CAGR revenue 10%, ROE 8-10%. Strengths: Domestic dominance, capex pipeline; valuation supports 20-25% upside to ₹200-₹210 intrinsic.
Positive Factors:
Domestic Growth Engine: India volumes up 17% QoQ, capex for 40 MTPA aids infra/auto demand (8-10% steel CAGR FY26).
Cost Discipline: ₹115 Bn savings FY26 target via relines (Jamshedpur), lower coking coal costs.
Sustainability Edge: UK EAF transition (£1.25B), green steel positioning for EU CBAM compliance.Dividend Yield: 1.2% attractive for defensives amid volatility.
Negative Factors:
Global Weakness: Europe ops loss-making (Port Talbot closure), US tariffs hit exports.
Commodity Volatility: Iron ore/coking coal prices signal weak demand; China dumping pressures realizations.
High Valuation: P/E premium to peers amid muted EBITDA growth outlook.
Cyclical Risks: Steel oversupply, slowing capex cycle in infra.
Reasons for Recent Fall:
Stock down 15-20% from ₹190+ peaks due to global steel glut (China exports +30% YoY), weak Europe demand (-0.9% apparent consumption 2025), US Section 232 tariffs on Indian steel (5-25%), raw material price crash signaling oversupply, and Jamshedpur maintenance shutdowns curbing Q1 output—overriding strong India Q2 despite sector rotation away from metals.
Micro and Macro Views:
Micro View (Short-Term: 1-3 Months)
Oversold techs (RSI 30) hint bounce to ₹173-₹175 on Nifty Metal rebound, but low volume + bearish MAs suggest fragility—5-8% more downside to ₹150 likely without ₹170 close; tactical shorts viable (SL ₹173).
Macro View (Long-Term: 6-24 Months)
India steel demand (infra push), capacity ramp-up offset globals—base target ₹210-₹230 (25% upside), bull ₹260 if costs fall 10%.
