Hindalco Q4 expectations

Hindalco Industries will announce its Q4FY25 earnings on Tuesday and the company is expected to report a net profit growth in a wide range of 25%-55% according to estimates given by four brokerages. The bottom line could fall between Rs 3,956 crore and Rs 5,520 crore.

The Aditya Birla Group Company could post a revenue uptick between 4% and 12%, the estimates revealed, which translates into a topline between Rs 58,278 crore and Rs 62,960 crore. The revenue will grow on higher aluminium and alumina prices.

The estimates of Axis Securities, Nuvama Institutional Equities, Yes Securities and ICICI Securities have been taken into account.

The most conservative PAT estimates are from Yes while Nuvama has the most bullish figures among its peers. As for revenue, Yes has the lowest estimates while Axis, highest.

Axis Securities expects Hindalco Industries to report a strong performance for the quarter, with its PAT rising 29% YoY to Rs 4,098 crore, and up 10% on a sequential basis. The company’s revenue for the quarter could come in at Rs 62,960 crore, marking a 12% YoY growth and an 8% increase compared to the previous quarter.

The consolidated revenue uptick will be led by higher aluminium and alumina prices.

Company’s Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) could rise 16.8% YoY to Rs 7,985 crore, though sequential growth was a more moderate 5.1%. The EBITDA margin may stand at 12.7%, an improvement of 47 bps YoY but saw a slight contraction of 33 bps quarter-on-quarter.

Novelis, Hindalco’s US-based subsidiary, could report EBITDA per tonne at $480, reflecting a decline of 11.2% YoY, though there was a strong 18.3% QoQ recovery.

“We assume slightly lower Aluminium sales YoY and nearly flat QoQ. Novelis shipments are likely to pose a seasonal recovery in shipments over the impacted base of Q3FY25; we expect it to remain slightly lower YoY. We assume a drop in copper sales volume YoY and recovery on a QoQ basis,” Axis said in a preview note.
