Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
High customer concentration in packaging business
The EPS packaging business derives 50-60% of revenue from LG Electronics, making it vulnerable to client-specific downturns.
Steel price volatility could impact margins
Steel constitutes 80-85% of raw material costs. While management has hedging mechanisms, sharp price movements could pressure margins.
Export growth remains negligible
Exports are only 1.5-2% of revenue and management is not aggressively pursuing them, limiting diversification.
Commodity Price Volatility
Steel prices have risen 4-5% recently; fixed-price contracts could pressure margins if prices spike sharply.
Execution Delays from Customer Side
Prolonged monsoon and NGT ban in Delhi NCR delayed civil works, impacting Q3 revenue by ₹35-40 crore.
Working Capital Stretch
Working capital days increased from 23 in Q2 to 38 in Q3 due to receivable stretch; management expects normalization to 35 days.
Capex Delay at Rajasthan Plant
Sandwich panel line expansion in Rajasthan delayed due to NGT ban; now expected commercial production in Q3 FY27.
