Financials Toh Ekdum Jhakaas Hain!
FY26 mein RR Kabel ka revenue 27.6% jump karke Rs 9,722 Crore ho gaya. Profitability bhi badhi hai, EBITDA margins 8.1% tak aa gaye aur gross profit margins 18.4% ho gaye. March quarter mein toh aur bhi achha perform kiya, revenue 33.7% badhkar Rs 2,964 Crore aur EBITDA margins 8.9% pe pahunche. Lag raha hai company costs manage kar rahi hai aur pricing power ka fayda utha rahi hai.
High-Margin Cables Par Zor
Company ab high-margin cables par zyada dhyan de rahi hai. Pehle yeh sales ka 27% tha, ab FY27 tak 31% karne ka plan hai. Yehi strategy Polycab ne use karke success paaya tha. Is growth ke liye, Rs 1,200 Crore ka capex bhi chal raha hai, capacity badhane ke liye.
Industry Ka Boom!
India mein infrastructure aur electrification ka boom chal raha hai, jiska faayda RR Kabel ko milega. Real estate, renewable energy, data centers aur government spending sab badh rahe hain. India ka data center capacity 2026 tak double hone wala hai, toh demand toh pakki hai.
Valuation Aur Competition
Abhi RR Kabel ka valuation 44x P/E ke aas paas hai. Thoda premium hai, par Polycab (jo 50x pe hai) se thoda kam. Polycab ki market cap bahut badi hai, Rs 1.37 Trillion ke aas paas, jabki RR Kabel ki ₹21,970 Crore hai. Competition mein KEI Industries aur Havells bhi hain.
Challenges Bhi Hain Boss!
Par sab kuch itna smooth nahi hai. FMEG segment (fans, switches, lighting) abhi bhi loss mein hai, aur iska break-even FY27 tak extend ho gaya hai. Commodity prices (copper, aluminium) ka bhi risk hai. Capex plans mein execution risk hai aur Q4 FY26 mein inventories thodi badhi hain, jisko monitor karna padega. Valuation high hone ki wajah se execution mein koi bhi gadbad seedha stock par asar karegi.
Aage Kya?
Achhi baat yeh hai ki Waya Financial ne isme BUY rating di hai aur 43% upside potential dikhaya hai. Management ka target hai FY27 tak wires and cables business mein 16% se 18% volume growth aur margins 9.5% tak pahunchane ka. Agar RR Kabel sab manage kar leta hai, toh yeh India ke electrical market mein ek bada player ban sakta hai.
