Challenges and Risks
IRCON's Q4FY24 result was lower than estimate. The company's operating performance was weak, with a 1% decline in revenue and a flat QoQ adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.2%. The reported PAT includes a one-time gain of Rs66 cr from prior period claims. IRCON expects its revenue growth to be flat on a YoY basis in FY25, while maintaining the same level of EBITDA margins. Ircon order book is slowing, and its order book has declined to Rs 27200 cr in FY24 from Rs 35100 cr YoY. This will result in lower revenue & profit growth in FY25 & FY26. Ircon stands to benefit from favorable long-term prospects, thanks to the government's unwavering commitment to enhancing railway infrastructure. Acquiring new orders is essential for the reevaluation of stock. At a CMP of Rs. 271, the stock is trading at 27x FY26E. We recommend a HOLD rating on the stock.
