Tata Steel Q2 Profit Plummets 87%

Tata Steel on Monday reported an 87% YoY decline in profit after tax to Rs 15.1 bn for the September quarter.

The revenue of the company declined by 6% YoY to Rs 598.8 bn.

The realizations decreased as commodity prices crashed globally. Although a loss in volumes in Europe was offset by a rise in local volumes.

The margin and profitability were substantially impacted by an increase in input costs.

Despite these challenges, Tata Steel recorded its best domestic sales in India, helped by a solid product lineup and a vast distribution network that meets all needs in specific markets.

Consolidated production for the quarter was 7.56 million tons (MT), a 3% decrease from the prior year.

Deliveries in India increased by 7% year over year, mostly owing to record domestic supplies while deliveries in Europe decreased sequentially, because of seasonal reasons and weak demand there.

Gross debt for Tata Steel was Rs 875.1 bn for the quarter that ended on September 30, 2022, as opposed to Rs 825.9 bn in the June quarter, an increase of 49.2%.

Trading below the industry average PE, Tata Steel is among the top 6 undervalued stocks in India.
