Aggressive competitor capacity expansion
APL increased expansion target from 68 lakh to 80 lakh tons by FY28, intensifying supply-side competition. Management argued they are uniquely positioned (primary + secondary + Maharashtra galvanizing facility) but margin pressure risk exists.
RCI early-stage execution and hedging gaps
RCI copper operations have no hedging in place currently (starting February). Initial EBITDA margins target of 10% from H2 FY27 leaves limited buffer. Also, commodity copper price volatility could compress margins.
Volume guidance credibility
Q3 missed 120K ton target by 30K tons (deliberate margin strategy). While management insists Q4 will compensate, analyst Loesh from SMIFS pressed on whether 1.3-1.4 lakh ton Q4 and 6.5 lakh ton FY27 targets are achievable given competitive intensity.
