JSW Steel reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated revenue crossing ₹51,100 crore for the first time, adjusted EBITDA of ₹9,713 crore (19% margin), and normalized PAT of ₹3,475 crore (excluding exceptional gain of ₹17,888 crore from BPSL JV). The quarter was driven by record steel sales of ~8 million tons, 96% capacity utilization (ex-BF shutdown), and improved product mix. Management guided FY27 consolidated production of 29.75 million tons (+13% YoY) and sales of 28.6 million tons (+10% YoY), supported by domestic demand growth of 7-9%. Key risks include higher coking coal costs ($12-15/ton QoQ), Middle East conflict impacting gas/LPG supply, and potential safeguard duty withdrawal. The company announced a capex plan of ₹126,000 crore over 4-5 years to reach 62 million tons standalone capacity by FY32.

Hyundai Motor India
Q4 FY26 · Manufacturing
Hyundai Motor India reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹18,916 crore, up 5.4% YoY, driven by record domestic volumes (166,578 units, +8.5% YoY) and export growth of 9.4%. However, EBITDA margin contracted 370 bps YoY to 10.4% due to elevated commodity costs, capacity addition expenses, and unfavorable mix. PAT fell 22% to ₹1,256 crore. Management guided for FY27 domestic and export volume growth of 8-10% each, supported by two new SUV launches (one EV, one ICE) and a record capex of ₹7,500 crore. Margins are expected to remain within the 11-14% range, aided by price hikes, cost optimization, and improved Chennai plant utilization. Key risk: sustained geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East could pressure export volumes.

- Risk read
- Key risks include Geopolitical disruptions in Middle East — Export volumes to the Middle East have been impacted by the ongoing war, and further escalation could hinder export growth targets.; Commodity price inflation — Elevated commodity prices caused a 120 bps sequential margin impact in Q4, and near-term headwinds are expected to persist.; EV profitability and adoption risk — The upcoming dedicated EV may have lower margins than ICE models, and its success in a high-volume segment is unproven.; Capacity utilization at Pune plant — The Pune plant is currently operating at two shifts; adding a third shift or ramping up volumes may be needed to absorb fixed costs..
