Aditya Infotech
#CPPLUS
The STQC story is structural, real and durable โ India's domestic brands now control 80%+ of the market with Chinese players effectively locked out, and Aditya Infotech at 45.4% share is the undisputed #1 with no credible domestic rival at scale.
Based on the concall, here are my FY27 earnings estimates ๐
1. +25โ28% volume growth ; In line with mgmt guidance; pent-up STQC demand materialises
2. +18โ22% ASP growth; Monthly price hikes pass through; IP mix continues rising to ~75%
3. margin neutral; Cost inflation offset by price hikes + localization savings. Housing plant Phase 1 (Q2 FY27) contributes ~50โ80 bps. Operating leverage on fixed costs at higher revenue base
4. Lens assembly line:
Initial: 5L/month
Scalable to 10L/month
Capex: part of โน200โ300 Cr FY27 plan
5. Taiwan R&D
USD 400K invested (FY26)
Pro Series under development
Ambarella/Qualcomm AI platform in trial
Revenue impact: FY28+
FY27:
Revenue: โน5,658 Cr (+21% YoY)
EBITDA: โน1,253 Cr (+25% ยท 22.2% margin)
PAT: โน836 Cr (+11% ยท EPS โน16.7)
Why revenue +21% but PAT only +11%?
FY27 is the "spend year." FY28 is when you get paid.
--------
FY28 is where the earnings follow. The key number to track is Q4 FY27 PAT annualized: โน903 Cr โ if that holds or beats, the FY28 base case of โน1,10 Cr PAT is on track.
The key factors:
1. Carbon Black & SCB
First full year of the new 130k TPA SCB line โ but utilisation depends on qualification cycles already seeded with global buyers, not new sales efforts. Chinese commodity CB dumping is the floor risk; SCB mix shift is the ceiling opportunity.
2. Coal Tar Pitch
EU REACH compliance (April 2026) hands HSCL a 15โ25% export price premium that non-compliant peers simply cannot match. Structural tailwind from declining Chinese steel output tightening global tar supply โ both work in HSCL's favour without any management action required.
3. Anthraquinone + Carbazole
Pure commissioning binary โ comes on in Q2 or it doesn't; the import-substitution demand is already there waiting. No volume risk, no pricing risk, only execution risk on a single date.
4. Birla Tyres
Agri and OHT brand heritage is real, the dealer network is built, and tractor demand provides a floor โ but the business is still buying market share at sub-scale utilisation with HSCL's balance sheet absorbing the losses. FY27 is a credibility year, not an earnings year.
5. LFP Cathode + Anode
Commissioning starts the OEM approval clock, not the revenue clock โ the real FY27 event is whether IBC's Bengaluru gigafactory comes on in Q4 and becomes HSCL's first named offtake anchor. Everything else in this segment is samples, not sales.
As of early June 2026, the current margin lending balance in South Korea has reached an all-time record of approximately $25.1 billion.
Now KOSPI 200 Futures 6% down, even today!
Yeh South Korea sabko leke doobega ๐๐
FY27 RISKS for STLTECH:
Of course, it all goes for a toss if:
1. Germanium supply constrained โ utilisation capped at 55โ60%
2. Prysmian litigation adverse outcome โ USD 100 Mn liability crystallises in FY27
This may cause PAT to go into negative territory.
The germanium constraint alone โ without Prysmian โ leaves STL operationally marginally profitable at โน47 Cr PAT.

@udaykotak Please don't blame the IPL Sir !!!
In a country where govt cares more about winning an election (through freebies) than the betterment of the country, our dreams will remain a dream.
Indiaโs economy under Modi led BJP has gone worse from โfragile fiveโ to โvulnerable oneโ. No economy today is as vulnerable to growth, inflation, investment, exports, fiscal deficit shocks as India. Unhappy days ahead. Modi deforms have cost India badly. https://t.co/3sB1OwQLDu
Mumbai ki pehli baarish cannot save the Indian stock market from the newly proposed US 12.5% tariffs + plus high crude + ...
2021-2030 was supposed to be India's decade. Vishwa Guru?
Now turning out to be one of the worst decades. India has fallen behind the Energy + Compute race.
Only two things that matter!
