JSW Steel, India’s largest steel producer by domestic capacity, is set to announce their first quarterly financial results on July 21. Despite the expectation of weaker earnings in the metal sector, analysts believe that JSW Steel Ltd may stand out and report improved earnings.
Analysts said that JSW Steel's turnaround in the situation is due to falling coking coal and iron ore prices in the metal sector, which could potentially alleviate the pressure on JSW's margins and improve its overall performance in the future. They predict that the company's sales for the June quarter may jump 25 percent year on year, primarily driven by higher volume growth.
