HCLâs physical performance:
FY20 | FY21 | |
---|---|---|
Revenue (Rs. Cr) | 832 | 1787 |
Volume sold (tonnes) | 18408 | 32997 |
Realization per tonne of MIC | 4,51,977 | 5,41,564 |
Ore produced (lakh tonnes) | 39.68 | 32.73 |
Metal-in-concentrate sold (tonnes) | 26502 | 23866 |
Yield | 0.67% | 0.73% |
- Current price of copper is Rs. 811,000 per tonne.
- The avg realization for Q3FY22 was Rs. 7,15,000 which is ~33% higher than FY21 avg realization, and despite that HCLâs EBITDA margins didnât improve much (from 22% to 24%).
- For a mining company, the increase in EBITDA should be disproportinate with increase in realization, but thatâs not the case for HCL which I think is a dampener.

One simple doubtâŚWhy it is valued at a price to sale ratio of 10 ??
Anyone tracking the company, I read somewhere in invester presenation that they are increasing mining capacity to 4x, can someone provide some colour on their capex plans, structurally copper demand is very high even though world marks are in slowdown due to its inherent use in green energy and absence of any substitutes, I dont know if valuations are high because market is factoring the capex that the company has done, would be really helpful if someone could provide information related to it.
