Shyam Metalics' growth story
The company is an integrated metal-producing company with a focus on long steel products and ferroalloys. In September 2023, the company announced that it would make aluminium foils for lithium-ion batteries. It also acquired Mittal Corp Limited for Rs 351 crore recently, thus bolstering stainless steel revenues for the company.
Over the past five years, the company's sales have compounded at a rate of 27 percent and profit at 15 percent. Despite rallying over 110 percent in the past one year, the stock has 5 buy calls from analysts, and nil sell or hold calls.
"Going ahead, we expect Shyam Metalics performance to be aided by higher volume owing to demand uptick in infrastructure segment. Besides, aluminium foils and stainless steel (10 percent of overall revenue in November 23) are likely to diversify its earnings profile," said ICICI Securities in a report last month.
At 11:15 am, the stock was quoting at Rs 643.60 on the NSE, down 1.55 percent from previous close.
