Manaksia's Aluzinc pivot delivers record ₹10,400 EBITDA/ton

Tipsheet Editorial — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:51:47 GMT

Management guided FY27 revenue of ₹1,300-1,350 crore with 11-12% EBITDA margin but declined to commit to the margin despite direct analyst questions.

What’s new

Record EBITDA per ton of ₹10,400 after full transition to 100% Aluzinc production.
FY27 revenue guided at ₹1,300-1,350 crore; EBITDA margin of 11-12%.
Management refused to commit to a specific margin percentage despite questioning.

Why it matters

The record EBITDA per ton validates the Aluzinc strategy, but management's refusal to lock in the margin guidance tempers the optimism. The ₹2,500 crore phase-2 capex plan remains too vague to factor in, leaving FY27 targets aspirational.

What we’re watching

Commissioning of the second colour-coating line in Q2.
Whether the 11-12% EBITDA margin guidance becomes a firm commitment.
Any concrete timeline for the phase-2 cold-rolling mill investment.

The full read

Manaksia Coated Metals delivered a record ₹10,400 EBITDA per tonne in Q1, a direct result of the full shift to Aluzinc production. Management credited the transition for restoring pricing discipline after a weak Q4. The company guided for FY27 revenue of ₹1,300–1,350 crore and an EBITDA margin of 11–12%, but when analysts pressed for a firm margin figure, management held back. That reluctance signals that the guidance is more aspirational than assured. The ₹450 crore order book provides five months of visibility. The next catalyst is the second colour-coating line due in Q2. The larger ₹2,500 crore phase-2 expansion is still blueprint-stage — too distant to influence near-term estimates. For now, the story is a strong operational recovery, but the financial targets remain uncommitted.

Manaksia Coated Metals profit surges 162% QoQ, EBITDA per tonne hits record

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:41:00 GMT

Consolidated net profit of ₹14.10 crore in Q1 FY27; EBITDA per tonne at all-time high of ₹10,401, driven by value-added products and export growth.

What’s new

Consolidated net profit up 162% QoQ to ₹14.10 crore.
EBITDA jumped 87% to ₹29.08 crore; EBITDA per tonne hit a record.
Second colour coating line on track for Q2 FY27; 7 MW solar plant planned.

Why it matters

After a flat standalone year-ago quarter, the sharp sequential rebound signals that margin improvements are taking hold. The record EBITDA per tonne and rising share of pre-painted steel suggest the company is capturing more value per unit, a structural shift that could sustain even if volumes moderate.

What we’re watching

Commissioning of the second colour coating line in Q2 FY27.
Impact of the captive solar plant on energy costs.
Sustainability of export momentum — 65% of sales volume — across new markets.

The full read

Manaksia Coated Metals delivered a striking sequential turnaround in Q1 FY27. Consolidated net profit surged 162% quarter-on-quarter to ₹14.10 crore (a stark contrast to the flat standalone profit a year earlier). Revenue rose 15% to ₹263.07 crore, but EBITDA jumped 87% to ₹29.08 crore — the standout number. EBITDA per tonne hit an all-time high of ₹10,401, driven by higher realizations, better operating efficiencies, and a product mix shift toward value-added pre-painted steel (now 74% of sales). Exports contributed 65% of volume, with new market entries in Latvia, Brazil, Jamaica, and Somalia. The Aluminium-Zinc coating line ran at 62% capacity, leaving headroom. Coming up are a second colour coating line due in Q2 FY27 and a 7 MW captive solar plant, each aimed at expanding value-added capacity and lowering costs. The prior quarter's flat year-ago print now feels like a base; the data suggest sequential momentum may continue, though trailing ROE of 6.8% and P/E of 27.2 leave little room for error.

Manaksia Coated Metals posts flat profit in June quarter

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:36:23 GMT

Net profit nearly unchanged at ₹14.16 crore; revenue edges up 5% to ₹262.14 crore. Clean audit review, no exceptional items.

What’s new

Standalone net profit ₹14.16 cr, barely changed from ₹14.10 cr in Q1 FY26.
Revenue rose 5% to ₹262.14 cr from ₹249.78 cr.
Statutory auditors gave a clean limited review report.

Why it matters

The result offers no fresh catalyst. The newly acquired JPA Snacks contributed minimally, so the core business remains the story. With a P/E of 27 and ROE of 6.8%, the valuation implies expectations beyond current profitability, but the quarter didn't deliver evidence of that.

What we’re watching

Whether JPA Snacks scales up meaningfully in coming quarters.
Any change in margin trajectory amid flat profit growth.
Debt/equity of 0.64 - potential for debt-funded growth.

The full read

Manaksia Coated Metals' June quarter is a non-event. Net profit came in at ₹14.16 crore, revenue rose 5% to ₹262.14 crore, and auditors signed off clean. The newly acquired JPA Snacks subsidiary contributed minimally. Flat is flat. With a market cap of ₹1,107 crore and debt-to-equity of 0.64, the company has capacity for debt-funded growth, but the quarter showed no earnings impact from the acquisition. At 27 times earnings and a 6.8% ROE, the valuation suggests expectations beyond current profitability. That is what makes this a routine filing.

Manaksia Coated Metals posts flat profit, modest revenue rise in June quarter

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:15:55 GMT

Standalone net profit inched up to ₹14.16 crore from ₹14.10 crore; revenue rose 5% to ₹262.14 crore. The new snack subsidiary added little, and the audit was clean. A routine quarter with no surprises.

What’s new

Standalone net profit at ₹14.16 cr vs ₹14.10 cr; revenue at ₹262.14 cr vs ₹249.78 cr.
Consolidated figures include JPA Snacks Private Ltd, but its contribution was minimal.
Statutory auditors issued a clean limited review report.

Why it matters

The quarter is a non-event: profit is flat, revenue growth is modest, and the company's newly acquired snack subsidiary hasn't moved the needle. For a stock trading at 27 times trailing earnings, the multiple demands more than this performance.

What we’re watching

Whether JPA Snacks starts contributing meaningfully in coming quarters.
Any signs of cost competitiveness in the coated metals business.
Management commentary on demand in the steel segment.

The full read

Manaksia Coated Metals reported a flat first quarter. Standalone net profit inched up to ₹14.16 crore from ₹14.10 crore a year ago. Revenue climbed 5% to ₹262.14 crore, a modest gain from ₹249.78 crore. The consolidated numbers include the company's newly acquired snack subsidiary, JPA Snacks, but the filing says its contribution was minimal. The auditors signed off with a clean report. There is nothing new here: no margin surprise, no earnings beat, no strategic update. For a stock that trades at 27 times trailing earnings, a quarter this ordinary doesn't move the needle. The real test is whether JPA Snacks adds heft in the coming quarters, a likely event for the second half rather than a Q1 story.
