Mumbai, Feb 12: Hindalco Industries shares traded lower on intraday charts, slipping 0.86% to ₹957.60, as investors reacted to rising input costs despite strong revenue growth momentum.
The company reported FY25 total revenue of ₹9.46 lakh crore, marking a solid expansion compared to previous years, driven by steady demand across aluminium and copper segments. However, cost of raw materials and overall expenditure increased significantly, tightening operating margins and keeping near-term profitability under pressure.
Market participants remained cautious as higher commodity-linked input costs continue to weigh on earnings visibility. While topline growth reflects strong operational scale and demand resilience, margin compression remains the key concern for investors tracking the metals major.
From a broader perspective, analysts note that Hindalco’s long-term fundamentals remain supported by global metal demand, infrastructure push, and downstream value-added products. However, short-term stock movement is likely to stay sensitive to cost trends, global metal prices, and margin trajectory.
At the current level, traders are closely watching volume behaviour, commodity price direction, and upcoming earnings signals for confirmation of trend strength.
