AI GENERATEDMetals & Mining
The sector backdrop is mixed. Iron ore output was very strong at 29.5% YoY (2026-07), but steel slowed to 2.9% YoY (2026-07), finished steel consumption was 8.0% YoY (2026-06), and headline mining production was still -0.9% (Jul/26). FPI outflows of INR -2349 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31 also argue against an aggressive overweight.

- Operating margins have improved to 10.6% from 7.5%
- Working capital cycle has improved - days down from -15 to -25

CONS
- Company has a low return on capital employed of 6.9%
- Company has a low return on equity of 5.1% over last 3 years
- Company has delivered a poor profit growth of -4.1% over past five years
- Recurring exceptional / one-off items are inflating headline profit
