Defence next big opportunity
One small doubt on ebitda per ton
Last Quarter management commented that the ebitda per ton is 8350 up from 7800. Kind of 500 per ton increase
When the same was asked in this quarter they are saying current quarter has 8100 per ton and his flat from previous quarter which is 8000 per ton
Any issue with this? As the both statements contradict each other
Look like Ram is not sure of numbers.
Value and good bet.
They can do PAT numbers of 180Cr and a PE of 18x i guess.
Looking forward a good and lucky H2. In Goodluck’s defense, its aggressive bet on defense subsidiary is anticipated to do good. After luck favors the good and the brave

Company did perform very well in Q2 despite sharp volatility in Steel prices in Q2 + sharply reduced Govt spending + Geo Political tensions causing reduced demand in the global markets
The new Hydraulic Tubes plant costed the company @ 200 cr. It has a capacity of 50k MTs. The plant is expected to commence commercial production in Q1 FY 26. This is a dedicated facility for the defence and aerospace Industry
Sales volume in H1 FY 24 stood @ 200k MT vs 183k MT in H1 FY 23
EBITDA / MT in Q2 stood @ Rs 8100. Company believes - if the volatility in Steel prices subsides, EBITDA / Ton should improve by 10 pc
Company business of manufacturing and supplying solar panel structures to various power/ infra / OEM players is witnessing robust demand trends. Same are likely to continue going fwd as well
Company had earlier guided for 20 pc topline growth for FY 25. Despite the headwinds in H1, they still maintain that they should be able to achieve a 15 pc topline growth for full FY 25. That simply means that H2 should be strong
Now that monsoons are over, Indian + US elections are behind - Expect far better H2. As such, H2 is always better for the company vs H1
Company expects to achieve optimum capacity utilisation of their Hydraulics manufacturing plant inside 2 yrs. Then they plan to double this capacity. This particular line of products have huge tailwinds. These hydraulic products also find applications in the construction Industry
Comapny has got orders for supply of materials worth 22k MT for the Bullet Trains project. Company has completed production of aprox 65 pc of the material which should now get supplied to L&T over next 8-9 months
The CR coils and sheets business is a steady volume ( no growth ), low margins business for the company. They have committed clients for their products. They have been doing this for 25 yrs. Aim to continue to do the same. But this is not a growth area
Company is slated to supply 155mm Arty Gun shells to IA. They were earlier imported. Company intends to supply 1.5 lakh shells - to begin with. That should have a revenue potential of aprox 300-350 cr
Company expects their defence business to generate 20 pc kind of EBITDA margins. Currently, it contributes to only 2 pc of their topline. This is expected to start to ramp up wef next FY

Future growth areas - Defence and Aerospace - company has inaugurated a new Hydraulic tubes manufacturing Unit with an installed capacity of 50k MT. These are highly specialised import substitution products for the defence ( aerospace ) industry. This plant has completed trial runs and has commenced production wef Jan. This plant has the capacity to generate revenues of upto 300 cr / yr by FY 27
Company’s business mainly caters to sectors like - Automobiles, Construction, Railway bridges, oil and gas, Solar and other renewable energy forms with Defence as the latest addition
Total capacity stands @ 4.5 lakh MT, slated to go upto 5 lakh MT in Q4
In the Auto sector, company mainly caters to Car body tubes, 2W and PV - shocker tubes ( Tesla is also a customer )
Aim to do yearly revenues of 4500 cr by FY 26
Company is slated to supply 155mm Arty Gun shells to IA. They were earlier imported. Company intends to supply 1.5 lakh shells - to begin with. That should have a revenue potential of aprox 300-350 cr. The supplies are expected to begin wef Q2 FY 26
Company expects a major ramp up of their LDP ( large diameter plant for Auto Tubes ) wef Q1 next FY - this plant also have a revenue potential of aprox 500 cr per year ( can be achieved wef FY 27 ). This plant was commissioned in Jan and has added 50k MT to company’s total capacity ( taking it upto 5 lakh MT )
In the 9M FY 25, company has achieved a volume growth of 13 pc. Topline growth is lower because of fall in steel prices
Most of the growth that company is seeing and hopes for in the future is coming from / or is going to come from Infra, Auto, Defence, Oil & Gas sectors. Not expecting any substantial growth from ERW tubes / CR coils
The CR coils and sheets business is a steady volume ( no growth ), low margins business for the company. They have committed clients for their products. They have been doing this for 25 yrs. Aim to continue to do the same. But this is not a growth area

Q3 FY25 Concall short notes:
- Rev: 7.25%, PAT: 26%, EPS: 4.1% (YoY).
- FY26: 4500cr rev + defense rev (~150cr).
- Mgmt sticks to 15-20% vol guidance for FY25. (Rev% may be lower due to lesser steel prices)
- Defense unit starts production in Q2’26. (150cr in FY26, 250-300cr rev in FY27 at 25% EBIDTA)
- Hydraulic tube plant started (500cr rev in '26).
A clarificaiton please - Is the hydraulic tube plant expcted to acieve optimal utilisation in FY27 (as highlighted by previous participants’ notes) or FY26?
Thanks
. The sales are 2.5X from Mar-20 to Mar-24 (1600 cr to 3525 cr), profits are also 2.5X as the company has constant OPM of 8% (128 cr to 282 cr) but the stock price/market cap is up from 150 crore to 2250 crore which is almost 15 times - driven by the P/E expansion from 5 to 15 which is 3X
Looking at common size analysis looks like further growth in sales due to increased capex and fall in raw material prices could be key to future prices. There has been huge capex of 195 crore in Mar 24 and this indicates future sales growth could drive more upside to stock if they can hold margins

Recent key developments -
New Plant - In January 2025, the company commissioned a state-of-the-art hydraulic tubes unit in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, with a 50,000 MT capacity. These high-precision tubes serve as an import substitute for seamless tubes, supporting foreign exchange savings and driving topline and bottom-line growth for the company. Goodluck India Ltd will begin trial production in Q1 FY26 at the new facility of its subsidiary, Goodluck
Defence and Aerospace Ltd, in Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr (U.P.). Designed to produce ~150,000 precision components annually; commercial production expected by end-Q2 FY26
Precision Pipe (CDW) Ramp-Up - CDW facility is currently in the production ramp-up phase, with full-scale production expected by Sep/Oct
2025 to meet targeted demand
Highlights from management commentary -
In Q4, capacity utilisation was @ 95 pc, Volume growth was @ 17 pc
Company has a good visibility of 15-20 topline growth ( based on orders at hand ) for FY 26 with margins @ similar levels ( with an upward bias ) as FY 25
The new Defence manufacturing plant has a peak revenue potential of aprox 270 - 300 cr ( should be able to achieve the same by FY 27 ). Should be able to clock 100-120 cr revenues for FY 26. Company may go for further expansion on defence manufacturing capacity once they achieve > 70 pc plant capacity utilisation on this plant
Have not recorded any inventory gains in Q4
Maintenance Capex + De-bottlenecking processes are continuously on at various company plants
The revenues from the Defence plant shall be over and above the 15-20 pc topline growth guidance given by the company
The Defence manufacturing plant should clock EBITDA margins in the range of 20 pc or so
In medium term, company hopes to start clocking double digit EBITDA margins. Most of the fresh capex ( in near future ) shall be dedicated to Auto tubes and Defence manufacturing units. These segments have 12-13 pc and 20-21 pc kind of EBITDA margins respectively. These should pull up company’s consolidated EBITDA margins
Company’s blended cost of Debt @ 9.5 pc
Margin profile for their engineering structures business is 9-10 pc
The margin guidance given by the company is on the conservative side. Most of the projected growth in FY 26 is going to come from Non CR sheets and coils business which should naturally exert upward pressures on margins
Oil and gas + Chemicals sectors are major consumers for company’s forgings business. With a republican govt in US, demand for their forging business is expected to remain strong
Company is already supplying 155 mm Artillery shells to MoD and metal parts for Brahmos Missiles
Seeing a lot of interest from multiple customers wrt the upcoming defence manufacturing facility. Utilising those capacities should not be a problem for the companies. In all probability, they ll have to go for additional capex in not so distant future
The CR sheets and coils business clocks a 4 pc kind of margins. It’s a legacy but stable business. Even in this business, company is looking @ 100 bps kind of margin expansion over next 2-3 yrs
Should be able to reduce gross debt by 50-60 cr by end FY 26

Goodluck India
Goodluck looks extremely cheap even with conservative estimates of 15% topline growth and double digit margins in 2 years
Sales can be around 5000-5200Cr in FY27
PAT can double in 2 years to reach around 300Cr
Trading at 10-11x FY27 PAT, <1x TTM sales and 0.6x FY27 sales
PEG 0.5x
Large Diameter Pipes and Precision Tubes plants are sitting on operating leverage
Defence biz will also pickup now - 40% utilisation in FY26 and 100% in FY27 (Peak revenue potential of 300Cr, 20% OPM)
Defence - “Not less than 3 customers visit our plant every day and want full capacity for years.” No demand concerns anticipated
Double digit margins in 1-2 years (driven by higher-margin segments (auto tubes: 12–13%, defence: 20%+))
Business will look very different in 2 years time
Medium term targets for the business is to reach 8000Cr revenue in 3-4 years with double digit margins and 20%+ ROCE
Extremely asymmetric in my opinion
Other income is around 35Cr - Largely operational (interest on deposits, export-related charges); not to be excluded from EBITDA, per management.
Management asserts other income is operational and should be included.
Even if you don’t include this, PAT should be around 275Cr in FY27.
Depreciation taken as 60Cr
Interest at 80Cr
Extrapolate your numbers till FY27
Exit multiples in the range of 20-30x
Think long term. If they achieve an 8000cr topline in 4 years.
PAT of around 400-500Cr.
Trading at less than 10x forward.
Even a 20x multiple means it can be an 8000Cr company trading at 1x sales. Rerating optionality can lead to unprecedented results.
Mental models: Margin of safety with fast growth, margin expansion, product mix change, sectoral tailwinds and the stock tensions relatively less discovered.
Risks:
- Economic slowdown
- Poor execution
- Defence business not living up to the promise
Disc: Not a recommendation
agreed 100%
GOODLUCK THESIS
- execution is there but not yet came up in numbers , main concern of the street is margin expansion
- this they are guiding that even their base CR business has margin expansion levers due to entry into solar tubes - 200 bps
- their defence is of 20% business (3 people are visiting their plant every day , just the commisioning is delayed )
- infra project is 9-10% business
- their auto pipes plant will be going to 60-70% utilisation
little reason to believe that margins wont inch up
watching the internals of the business - which suggest this business is on verge of inflection
- thus the valuation comfort
- we can get dual engines here
- call is full of reasons behind the structural tailwinds it has
peg comes to less than 1x with even .5% margin expansion and 15% growth in revenue as guided by management
fits the framework
-quantum of growth
-nearness of growth
-certainity of growth
-we should not be paying up for growth
Very few people know that they are entering into Hydrogen. Work is already in progress. I saw prompter’s interview where he mentioned this. Just like Goodluck Defence, Hydrogen subsidiary will also be put. Will share the interview link here if I find.
Found the link - Towards the end of this video you can listen the management mentioning about hydrogen
