Balkrishna Industries (BKT) ne FY26 ke liye results nikale hain aur bhai, margin par kaafi pressure dikh raha hai. Is wajah se EBITDA 10% gir gaya aur net profit 25% down ho gaya. Unki total income toh flat rahi ₹10,656 Crore par, lekin profit mein kami aayi hai. EBITDA ₹2,423 Crore ho gaya aur net profit ₹1,222 Crore pe aa gaya. Duniya bhar ki economy aur input costs badhne se company ko challenges face karne pad rahe hain.
FY26 Results Mein Profit Ka Pressure Dikha
Investors abhi BKT ke current problems aur future goals dono ko dekh rahe hain. Unke Off-Highway Tire (OHT) segment mein volume 1% badhkar 317,356 metric tonnes ho gaya, jisme agriculture ka bada role hai. FY26 ke Q4 results mein revenue 2% badhkar ₹2,894 Crore ho gaya aur OHT volume 5% badhkar 85,820 metric tonnes ho gaya. Lekin, Q4 mein gross profit margins kam hokar 20.45% ho gaye, jo pichhle quarter mein 25.08% the. Yeh margin compression investors ke liye chinta ka vishay hai. Stock Friday ko ₹2,262.50 par band hua, jo din bhar mein 0.18% kam tha aur pichhle saal mein lagbhag 17.52% gira hai.
'BKT 2.0' Strategy Ka Target ₹23,000 Cr Revenue
Ab aate hain future par! Company ki 'BKT 2.0' strategy ka goal hai FY30 tak revenue ko ₹23,000 Crore tak pahunchana. Iska matlab hai saal dar saal lagbhag 17% ka growth. Iske liye ₹6,800 Crore ka capital expenditure approve kiya gaya hai, jo capacity badhane aur products ko diversify karne ke liye hai. Capex se OHT capacity 425,000 metric tonnes per annum tak badhegi aur global OHT market share 8% ho jayega. Unka Carbon Black business bhi fuel ki security mein help karega.
Valuation Kaisa Hai?
BKT ka P/E ratio abhi 33.95x ke aas-paas hai, jo MRF (24.79x) aur CEAT (19.96x) se zyada hai, par JK Tyre (17.37x) ke lagbhag barabar hai. Yeh valuation future growth ki expectations dikhata hai. Indian tire market overall 7.49% CAGR se badhega aur 2034 tak USD 27.67 billion tak pahunch sakta hai, jisme domestic demand ka bada role hoga.
Naye Segments Se Margins Par Asar Padega?
BKT ab premium On-Highway tire market mein bhi enter karne ka plan bana raha hai, jaise Passenger Car Radial (PCR) aur Commercial Vehicle (CV) radial tires. Yeh diversification future revenues to badhayega, lekin EBITDA margins ko 70 se 80 basis points tak kam kar sakta hai.
Risks Aur Analysts Kya Bol Rahe Hain?
BKT ke growth targets ke saath kuch bade risks bhi jude hue hain. Pichhle records dekhein toh margin erosion se stock sensitive raha hai; FY23 Q1 mein 6% stock drop hua tha jab raw material costs badh gaye the. Natural rubber ki badhti prices (January se March 2026 tak ₹18,500 se ₹21,600 per 100 kg) aur supply chain issues bhi immediate challenges hain. Analysts ne price targets ₹2,355 aur ₹2,384 ke beech set kiye hain. Jo 23 analysts BKT ko cover kar rahe hain, unka consensus recommendation 'Hold' hai, aur kuch log toh 'Sell' ya 'Strong Sell' rating bhi de rahe hain. Company ka higher P/E ratio MRF aur CEAT ke mukable, margin risks ke saath, thodi caution dikha raha hai.
