· Business Today Mkts
The EBITDA margin is expected to remain robust at around 50% in Q2 , although it is projected to moderate from 54.2% from the the preceding quarter.
The analysis
Hindustan Copper reported movement of 50% and 54.2%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +1.6% on the day at ₹436.65, and has returned -19.8% over three months. It sits 42% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The metals & mining sector has moved -7.1% over the same period, so Hindustan Copper is running 12.7 points behind its peers.
For Hindustan Copper, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
