Kumiai Chemical Industry (Kumiai) has revised up its H1FY25 revenue guidance by ~9% to JPY96bn from JPY88bn, citing that net sales are expected to exceed the forecast due to advanced shipment to overseas markets in its Agchem business.
Lower our Rs819m estimate due to less-than-expected revenues, MM Forgings’ Q4 EBITDA slipped 4% y/y to Rs724m. Growth would be supported by the domestic M&H CV volume upswing, which would come at a 5% CAGR over FY25-27 on economic activity and replacement demand.
Vodafone Idea’s (VIL) Q4FY25 ARPU rose 0.6% QoQ (Bharti down 0.1%, RJio +1.4%), on expected lines. However, VIL lost higher-than-expected subs, and data subs dipped marginally by 0.1mn despite initial 4G network expansion.
Sharda Cropchem Limited (SCL) reported solid growth in 4Q FY25 as revenues increased by 39.4% y-o-y to Rs 1,828.5 crore. This robust quarterly growth was mirrored by a strong overall top-line performance for the entirety of FY25.
Century Plyboards' Q4FY25 profitability missed our expectations. Revenue grew by 13% YoY to Rs12bn, driven by strong Plywood (+8% YoY) and MDF (+37% YoY), despite decline in Particle boards (-25% YoY). EBITDA margins contracted by 275bps YoY to 11.2% due to margin pressure across all segments except for plywood. Century plans an 50,000 CBM plywood facility at Hoshiarpur within a year, along with an additional 50,000CBM capacity through brownfield expansions and de-bottlenecking. Century expects its continuous process plant for particle board at Chennai facility to commence operation in Q1FY26,...
Bata India (BATA) delivered yet another weak quarter with 1% YoY revenue decline (5% miss) and ~230bp YoY gross margin contraction. The weak performance was attributed to the company’s deliberate shift toward valuedriven offerings to boost volume amid subdued demand.
Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) reported EBITDA declined 1% QoQ (vs.+2% QoQ for RJio/Bharti India wireless), which was above our estimates due to lower network opex (-2% QoQ, energy efficiencies) and SG&A costs (-1% QoQ).
Puravankara (PL)’s pre-sales in FY25 were weak, as expected, as approvals were delayed (sector-wide impact). However, despite only 3.6msf new launches, sustenance sales remained strong (up 14% YoY) which was a respite.
TCI Express (TCIE)’s 4QFY25 revenue decreased 3% YoY to INR3.1b (+4% QoQ), in line with our estimate. Volumes declined 1% YoY in 4QFY25. Volumes were hit by slower growth in the SME segment.
Sun TV Network (SUNTV) reported another weak result, with revenue declining ~2% YoY, primarily due to persistent weakness in ad revenue (down 13% YoY). EBITDA declined 16% YoY, impacted by the continued weakness in ad revenue and higher production costs.
Orders from the renewables segment rose a sharp 386% YoY, followed by the transmission segment (91% YoY) and railways and metro (24% YoY). However, orders from data center and industry fell 56% and 33% YoY, respectively, with the management mentioning that this was seasonal. Hitachi Energy has delivered strong financial results, with notable growth in both revenue and profitability.
