Angel Broking has maintained neutral rating on National Aluminium Company (NALCO), in its August 17, 2010 research report.

"National Aluminium's (Nalco) 1QFY2012 results were above our expectations. The company was able to sustain its margin on account of higher realisation. For 1QFY2012, Nalco's net sales grew by 34.2% yoy to Rs1,733cr, led by higher realisation of alumina and aluminium. Alumina realisation increased by 21.1% yoy to Rs20,653/tonne and aluminium realisation increased by 18.3% yoy to Rs122,086/tonne. The aluminum segment's sales grew by 20.9% yoy to Rs1,355cr due to higher LME prices despite metal volumes of only 2.2% yoy to 111kt. The chemical segment's revenue grew by 60.6% yoy to Rs646cr on the back of alumina sales volumes, which grew by 83.0% yoy to 183kt."

"EBITDA grew by 34.5% yoy to Rs530cr and EBITDA margin improved by 8bp yoy to 30.6%. The company was able to maintain its margin despite increased coal costs due to higher realisation. Other income grew by 41.1% yoy to Rs127cr. Thus, net profit increased by 32.7% yoy to Rs377cr in 1QFY2012. Although Nalco enjoys high levels of backward integration, the cost of production remains very high for Nalco. Further, there is lack of clarity over Nalco's volume growth. At the CMP, Nalco is trading at valuations of 6.8x FY2012E and 5.7x FY2013E EV/EBITDA, higher than its peers. Given the recent decline in the stock price, we recommend Neutral on the stock," says Angel Broking research report.
