to Rs.3753 cr. Higher blended steel and sponge iron prices (up Rs.800/t QoQ to Rs.37,669)
were supported by 6% QoQ volume growth to 706kt (pig iron started contributing from

422kt. Pellets, ferro alloys and stainless steel recorded a decline in revenue QoQ
amid lower volume. Consolidated EBITDA grew 12% QoQ to Rs.456 cr. Besides higher
revenue, lower coal cost (down by Rs.550/t QoQ) also aided EBITDA expansion. It

as carbon steel (up 20% QoQ to Rs.5,815/t) and aluminium segment (up 25% QoQ to

Capex and Operational update
Key Highlights
Shyam Metalics reported strong financial performance for the quarter ended Q3FY25. The Indian steel industry is poised for robust growth, driven by large scale infrastructure projects, urbanization, and increasing demand from sectors like automotive, capital goods, and defence. With continued government support, technological advancements, and a strong focus on sustainability, the industry is well-equipped to meet global challenges, enhance its competitiveness, and play a central role in India’s economic expansion. Despite global uncertainties, the industry’s focus on securing raw material access, R&D, and innovation ensures that it remains resilient and competitive on the global stage. We believe SMEL's strength lies in identifying efficiencies through both vertical and horizontal integration. It is moving up the value chain from semi-finished to finished products like aluminium foil, color-coated sheets, stainless steel, and ductile pipe in its core segment. This is improving profitability, diversifying the customer base, and lowering margin volatility. At the same time, its backward integration, eg, setting up power plants, blast furnaces, and railway sidings are improving the efficiency of its operations. SMEL is a diversified metals company with a varied product range. Given this, the company can better navigate commodity cycles than its peers. SMEL has strong earnings acceleration visibility against the backdrop of a large capex plan, which will be funded through internal accruals and existing cash.
Shyam Metalics and Energy (SMEL) management's pragmatic approach to moving up the value chain, diversifying products/metals, and backward integration to capture efficiencies make it stand out. The successful foray into new businesses (aluminium and stainless steel products) showcases its execution capabilities; multiple new projects commencing operations in FY25/26 provide strong earnings visibility, while it mitigates profitability risk through diversification. Shyam Metalics offers a unique play in the Indian metals space, with a combination of a) increasing contribution from finished steel and valued added segments and b) diversified business across the steel value chain. The company has executed capacity expansion plans with precision over the past few years. Capital allocation towards niche business segments augurs well for the company. At CMP of Rs.760, the stock is trading at 7x EV/EBITDA of FY26E. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock.
