Motilal Oswal Report
Grasim Industries Ltd.'s Q1 FY23 result was above our estimate with Ebitda at Rs 13.2 billion (versus estimated Rs 11.7 billion) and operating profit margin at 18% (versus estimated 17%).
Chemical segment's OPM stood at 29.5% (up 9% QoQ) versus estimated 24%. Viscose staple fibre segment's OPM was at 11.6% (up 5% QoQ) versus estimated 13.8%.
Grasim's profit stood at Rs 8.1 billion (versus estimated Rs 6.7 billion) in Q1 FY23.
Recent decline in VSF prices in China coupled with reduced orders by the U.S. and European retailers in anticipation of a demand slowdown can hurt the company's near-term margins.
Caustic soda prices too have declined in the global markets and hence, chemical segment margins may see some pressure going forward.
