Toh bhaiyo, JSW Steel ke liye ekdum badhiya khabar aa rahi hai! Analysts predict kar rahe hain ki company ka Q4 aur poore saal FY26 ka performance ekdum dhamakedaar hoga. Steel prices mein sudhar aur better margins ki wajah se profit mein 60% se lekar 77% tak ka zabardast jump aa sakta hai, aur revenue bhi 10-12% badhne ka andaza hai. Stock abhi lagbhag ₹1,257.60 par trade ho raha hai, aur company ki market cap ₹309,000 crore ke aas paas hai. Lekin yahan thoda caution bhi hai – valuation kaafi high lag raha hai. Jo P/E ratio abhi 37.13 hai, woh company ke pichhle 10 saal ke average 19.36 aur industry median 16.82 se bahut zyada hai. Toh investors yahi dekh rahe hain ki itna high price justify karne ke liye results kitne solid aate hain.
Ab company kuch bade moves bhi le rahi hai. 14 May ko hone wali board meeting mein kuch crucial decisions ho sakte hain. Ek toh yeh hai ki company QIP (Qualified Institutions Placement) aur debentures issue karke substantial funds raise kar sakti hai. Pichhle quarter mein hi ₹19,000 crore tak ki fundraising ke liye approval mil chuki hai. Aur ek sabse badi khabar yeh hai ki JSW Steel apni subsidiary Bhushan Power & Steel (BPSL) ka 50% tak ka stake Japan ki JFE Steel ko bechne par विचार kar rahi hai. Is deal se estimated ₹15,000 se ₹16,000 crore mil sakte hain aur yeh December 2025 tak poori ho sakti hai. Isse company ka total debt, jo lagbhag ₹1 trillion hai, woh kaafi kam ho jayega. BPSL ne khud Q3 FY25 mein ₹5,612 crore ka revenue aur ₹166 crore ka profit generate kiya tha, toh yeh deal value unlock karne mein madad karegi.
Waise, Indian steel sector bhi abhi kaafi tezi mein hai. Production aur consumption dono badh rahe hain. JSW Steel ka mukabla Tata Steel aur Jindal Steel & Power se hai. Lekin, agar JSW Steel ke debt ki baat karein toh, March 2025 tak net debt ₹76,563 crore tha. Net debt-to-equity ratio 0.94x aur net debt-to-EBITDA 3.34x tha. Interest coverage bhi 2.2x tha. Haalanki company ne ise manage kiya hai, figures kaafi bade hain, isliye investors ispar nazar rakhenge.
Par achhi baat yeh hai ki analysts zyadaatar JSW Steel ko lekar optimistic hain. Kai 'Buy' ratings chal rahi hain aur price targets ₹1,100 se ₹1,200 ke beech mein diye gaye hain. Motilal Oswal ne toh ₹1,350 ka target bhi set kiya hai. Agar company apne expansion plans ko smooth tarike se execute karti hai aur input costs ko control mein rakhti hai, toh aage chal kar stock mein a potential upside dikh sakta hai.
