Bear-case history
Industry MDF capacity projected to rise 33% to 6 million CBM by FY28 from new large-scale plants by listed and unlisted players. Management sees no price uptick in commodity MDF, with pricing war continuing. This threatens realization recovery despite volume growth.
Q3 jumbo revenue of Rs 6 crore was significantly below analyst expectations of Rs 25-30 crore due to shipping delays. Management targets Rs 20-25 crore in Q4, but repeat orders and market acceptance remain to be proven.
MDF export volumes declined due to strategic shift away from price-conscious Gulf markets. Company is developing new markets (Russia, Portugal, Slovakia, Israel, Romania) but faces laboratory certifications and customer acceptance timelines before repeated orders flow.
Resin prices moderated in Q3 but remain above normalized levels, creating ongoing cost pressure. Management expects normalization but timing is uncertain given global commodity dynamics.
