Result Update: Hindalco Industries | Operationally in-line; Novelis margins bottoming out
“Hindalco reported 1Q consol. adj. EBITDA of INR81bn, marginally below JMfe of INR83bn driven by subdued performance in Novelis offset by outperformance in India business. India aluminium business (incl. Utkal) delivered an EBITDA of INR43bn, down 15% QoQ primarily driven by weak LME. Key takeaways from the call are a) aluminium CoP expected to be up 3% in 2Q given monsoon impact and higher CP coke prices b) downstream expansion through Aditya FRP remains on track – expects ~70kt commercial sales from Aditya FRP in FY26 c) Aluminium downstream FY26 EBITDA/t guidance maintained at USD250-300/t – company expects quarterly shipments to reach ~150kt with Silvassa coming up d) hedging for 2QFY26; 20% of commodity at USD2,666/t and 18% currency hedged at INR87 per dollar e) capex guidance for India operations at INR70bn-INR75bn for FY26 and ~INR150bn for FY27. Net debt decreased to INR343bn in 1QFY26 from INR353bn in 4QFY25. The long term outlook for Hindalco continues to remain buoyant given a) resilient performance by India aluminium operations b) record high run rates in the copper business c) enhanced coal security post acquisition of Meenakshi, Meenakshi west, Bandha, Chakla coal mines and d) growth capex to augment capacity in downstream business. Hindalco, given ~70%+ steady/strong EBITDA being non-LME linked, remains our preferred play in the metal space. Re-iterate Buy,” said Ashutosh Somani of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Result Update: ONGC | Earnings beat on lower opex and a tad higher sales volume/realisation
“ONGC’s 1QFY26 standalone EBITDA, at INR 187bn, was significantly above JMFe of INR 164bn (and also above consensus of INR 182bn), aided by lower opex at INR 55.8bn vs. JMFe of INR 69.5bn (after having jumped to INR 74.9bn in 4QFY25). Further, crude & gas sales volume was also slightly better and crude realisation was also a little better than JMFe. Hence, PAT at INR 80.2bn was significantly above JMFe of INR 65.3bn (though a tad below consensus of INR 82.9bn) despite other income being lower at INR 12.1bn (vs. JMFe of INR 19bn). We maintain BUY (unchanged TP of INR 285) based on our Brent crude price assumption of USD 70/bbl (while CMP is discounting ~USD 60/bbl of net crude realisation), and as ONGC is likely to see cumulative output growth of 8-10% over FY26-28 driven by KG DW 98/2 block and Western offshore blocks. ONGC is also a robust dividend play (4-5%). At CMP, it trades at 5.6x FY27E consolidated EPS and 0.7x FY27E BV,” said Dayanand Mittal of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
