Systematix Research Report

We estimate companies in our coverage universe to deliver revenue growth of 13% YoY in Q3 FY22E, driven mainly by 7.9% YoY growth in realisations and volume growth of 4.8% YoY.

We expect revenue/Ebitda growth of 23.2%/19.7% for our coverage universe on a QoQ basis. During the quarter, volume growth likely remained in mid-single-digits YoY, while net sales realisation grew by 8% YoY.

Early October 2021 witnessed several price hikes due to-
