ICICI Direct Report

Commodity price tailwinds coupled with QoQ improvement in volumes is expected to aid domestic metal companies to report a healthy performance in Q2 FY22E.

During Q2FY22E, average steel prices are likely to be QoQ higher by ~Rs 1000-2500/tonne versus Q1 FY22.

Despite a sharp rise, coking coal costs are likely to witness only a marginal increase in Q2 FY22E due to a lag in consumption as steel companies generally maintain a month or two of coking coal inventory.

For Q2 FY22E we expect steel companies to report QoQ improvement in sales volumes on the back of easing of lockdown restrictions.
