Grasim Industries Ltd

Grasim's revenue is expected to decrease 2% YoY, according to brokerage Motilal Oswal Financial Services, as lower realisations in both the Chemical and VSF divisions are projected to offset stronger volume increases. While realisation is predicted to drop 16% YoY, volume in VSF is predicted to increase 16% YoY. Volume in the chemical industry is predicted to rise by 7% year over year, but realisation is predicted to fall by 21%. We project a 32% YoY decline in the company's EBITDA and a 4.3pp YoY decline in its EBITDA margin to 9.8%. It is projected that for 2QFY24, adjusted PAT will decrease 37% YoY.
