Metal major Tata Steel Ltd will announce its Q3 earnings today. The Tata Group firm is likely to post a 7.6 per cent Y-o-Y growth in standalone volume, led by the Kalinganagar expansion, according to Antique Broking. However, consolidated EBITDA is seen sliding 28 per cent Y-o-Y, signaling lower profitability in Indian operations and continued losses in Europe. YES Securities expects consolidated revenues to slide 3% QoQ and 5.5% YoY at Rs 52,260 crore led by falling realizations. The brokerage expects Tata to report an EBITDA of Rs 5,480 crore with EBITDA margins of 10.5% on a consolidated basis led by reducing realizations being partially offset with higher volumes and savings on coking coal costs vs Q2FY25.
Net profit is seen at Rs 599.8 crore , a 16.8% rise on a year on year basis but a 28% fall on a quarter on quarter basis.
Axis Securities sees expects consolidated revenue to decline YoY/QoQ led by lower steel price realization in India and Europe, partially offset by the brokerage's higher steel sales volumes estimate.
It expects EBITDA to decline fall 23% YoY/QoQ each due to lower sales realisation in India and Europe, which offsets benefit from lower coking coal costs and higher sales volumes.
The brokerage expects lower EBITDA/tonne in India at Rs 11,810/tonne, down 33%/9% YoY/QoQ on account of lower sales price realisation, partially offset by lower coking coal consumption cost.
EBITDA per tonne loss in Europe is likely to narrow down to $53 per tonne against $75 per tonne in Q2FY25 and $178 per tonne in Q3FY24 led by better Netherlands EBITDA.
Reevnue is seen at Rs 52,513 crore, down 5.1% year on year in Q3, said Axis adding that net profit would come at Rs 212 crore, down 75% from Rs 815 crore in Q3 of the previous fiscal.
Brokerage Anand Rathi expects a 5.3 per cent Y-o-Y fall in revenue due to weaker domestic steel prices and ongoing challenges in European markets.
