What could break the thesis?
INTENSIFYING: Capex requirements are clarified as very high (INR 3,400 Cr for OSAT and INR 1,400 Cr for PCB). While subsidies cover a large portion, the company must fund the initial outlays and land/building costs themselves, with a 6-month lag for government reimbursement. (5 intensifying, 5 high-severity)
“this seems like a sizable shift from 139 to 85 days within a quarter?”
EASING: Management confirmed they have overcome the execution delays in the smart meter business at the Hyderabad facility that caused the previous shortfall. They are now guiding for a minimum 60% revenue growth in FY26. (1 easing, 1 stable, 3 intensifying)
“Asset Turnover ratio (x) 3.4 2.3 9M FY25 9M FY26”
