What could break the thesis?
INTENSIFYING. The receivable balance has increased to approximately INR 1,400 - 1,500 crores. While some claims have been received, a significant portion remains in the appraisal stage. (2 intensifying, 2 easing, 1 stable, 1 high-severity)
“Obviously, there is a margin pressure because of the PLI going away... Aditya, we had earlier kind of discussed that 50 to 70 basis points of margin impact may be there.”
The risk is intensifying as the company's overall EBITDA margin slightly declined from 3.9% to 3.8%. Specifically, the 'Cost of Material Consumed' as a percentage of revenue increased by 1.1% (from 91.4% to 92.5%), indicating that rising input costs are eating into margins faster than they are being offset. (3 intensifying, 1 stable, 1 high-severity)
“Q4 revenues remained flat due to geopolitical concerns, softer consumer demand... Electronics industries continue to face inflationary pressure in key components such as memory chips and semiconductor linked inputs”
