Other highlights
RR KABEL has demonstrated strong financial performance in Q4FY24, marked by substantial revenue growth and improved profitability across its key segments. Looking ahead, RR KABEL remains optimistic about the demand for cables and wires in India, driven by various factors such as commercial real estate growth, rural electrification, and government initiatives. The company expects to capitalize on this demand, aiming for a 20% YoY volume growth in FY25. Additionally, it anticipates margin improvement in FY25 through higher-value products in export markets, price hikes in domestic products, and operational efficiencies from new power cable capacity. RR KABEL's focus on expanding its international footprint is evident from its plans to increase its share of exports. The company's strong network of retailers, dealers, and distributors positions it well to capture market opportunities and drive growth. Despite challenges such as volatile raw material prices, RR KABEL is actively managing these risks and gradually passing on cost increases to consumers.
We like RR Kabel due to its strong brand, diversified product profile, scale of operations, certified manufacturing facilities, and wide & largest distribution network. RKL is well positioned to capture the growth in the domestic & export consumer electrical market due to industry tailwinds. Profitability margins and return ratios are likely to improve going forward mainly in anticipation of lower raw material prices and enhanced business dynamics. At a CMP of Rs. 1729, the stock is trading at 37x FY26E. We recommend a HOLD rating on the stock.
