Company insights, generated from the most recent coverage.
Export recovery is real: North America revenues had fallen 40%+ over 9M FY26, but Q1 FY27 healthy export volumes validate management's claim that the worst is behind.
Despite the three-month rally, the stock was down 4.71% over the past month, showing the market only recently rotated back after digesting the FY26 exceptional-item hit and North America weakness.
Management's 10-15% CAGR guidance for FY27-FY29 rests on new verticals — aerospace, semiconductor non-ferrous forgings, aluminium forging, castings and Mexico machining units — so execution on these is the swing factor for the re-rating.
