A dividend of ₹7.00 per share (70%) was recommended. ## Why this matters This return to profitability is a key positive for shareholders, indicating improved operational efficiency. The substantial 74% year-on-year growth in the order book, reaching ₹1,186.90 crore, signals strong revenue visibility and potential for future growth. ## The backstory In FY24, John Cockerill India had reported a net loss. The current fiscal year shows a reversal of this trend, driven by what management describes as "Audacity under Control." The company also recently approved the issuance of 35,185 CCPS to its promoter, John Cockerill SA, as part of a share swap to consolidate its metals business. ## What changes now With profitability restored and a robust order book, the company is positioned for renewed growth. The strategic consolidation of the metals business, effective January 1, 2026, aims to centralize operations and enhance efficiency. ## Risks to watch Key risks include persistent global overcapacity in the steel industry and competitive pricing from Chinese exports. Additionally, the company is facing an arbitration notice from a customer concerning a Cold Rolling Mill project, the outcome of which needs monitoring. ## Peer comparison [No direct peer comparison data available in the filing.] ## Context metrics (time-bound) - **Order Book:** ₹1,186.90 crore (as of December 31, 2025), up 74% year-on-year. - **Profit/Loss:** ₹10.31 crore profit in FY25 vs. ₹5.38 crore loss in FY24. - **Total Income:** ₹366.63 crore in FY25 vs. ₹393.60 crore in FY24. ## What to track next Investors should track the execution of the ₹1,186.90 crore order book and the company's ability to navigate global market pressures.
