Tata Metaliks share price jumped more than 6 percent in the morning trade on July 14, a day after the Tata Steel subsidiary reported a net profit of Rs 94.72 crore for the first quarter ended June 2021 against a loss of Rs 12.36 crore in the same period last year.
Backed by higher sales and price realisation, the company's revenue from operations stood at Rs 603 crore and profit before tax (PBT) at Rs 135 crore for the quarter ending June 30.
"Demand for pig iron got impacted adversely in Q1 due to Covid second wave as major foundry clusters operated at 30-40 percent capacity. However, the company achieved the highest ever quarterly deliveries on the back of a jump in exports," a company official said.
"Record sales volumes coupled with strong price realisation, along with stable blast furnace operations, raw materials cost optimisation and higher coal injection have helped the company achieve its best ever quarterly profits," the official said.
The stock was trading at Rs 1,280.65, up Rs 78.60, or 6.54 percent, at 1024 hours. It touched an intraday high of Rs 1,299 and an intraday low of Rs 1,230.
