Macro Pressures and Challenges

The company continues to navigate high raw material costs, specifically copper and aluminum, which have pressured margins in the AC segment. A key company-specific challenge remains its high seasonal dependence on air conditioning, which previously accounted for 75% of revenue. While management is diversifying into commercial refrigeration and compressors to balance seasonality, high inventory levels and a shift toward “Just-in-Time” purchasing by clients have led to flattish year-on-year growth in some segments. Geopolitical risks are centered on the supply of specialized electronic components, though the company’s new Nashik facility for compressors aims to increase backward integration and reduce import reliance.


SWOT Analysis

StrengthsWeaknesses
Strong backward integration with new compressor and plastic molding units.High customer concentration (historically dependent on single major clients).
High revenue growth history (3-year CAGR > 50%).Low net profit margins (TTM approx. 1.32%).
OpportunitiesThreats
Capacity expansion from 1M to 1.8M AC units by FY27.Volatile commodity prices (Copper/Aluminum).
Migration from BSE SME to the Main Board to increase institutional liquidity.Intense competition from large-scale EMS players like Dixon Technologies.
