Cummins India Ltd surged about 5% in Friday on the NSE, creating a higher 52-week high of ₹1735.85. The company has made a healthy performance March quarter (Q4FY23), but the short-term outlook seems to be highly vibrant.
Cummins registered a remarkable surge in demand for its sub-800kW power generator sets. This is a proactive measure for the upcoming implementation of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB-IV) regulations, which will be in effect from 1st July 2023. The new guidelines are concerned specifically to power generator sets.
Cummins’ portfolio mainly consists of sub-800kW rated products, which form about 80% of its benefaction. These products will face major modifications to comply with the new environmental standards. Therefore, prices are probably going to be hiked 20-50%, causing higher realization.
The management has suggested that the new energy efficiency standards exceed global norms, hence it will create fresh export opportunities. Cummins expects vigorous demand in foreign markets, fueled by the introduction of Fit-For-Market 3.0 products.
The company is focussing on products under the new regulations to supplement both margins and customer value. During Q4FY23, the EBITDA margin has expanded by about 310 basis points Year-on-Year (YoY) to 16.9%.
The demand after Q1FY24 requires minute inspection due to increasing prices of products. Additionally, the supply chain disturbance is a roadblock, and the Q4 gross margin recovery has faced its consequences. Unless provisions for FY24 guidance are settled, Cummins is optimistic albeit vigilantly, by considering sturdy demand in sectors such as infrastructure, data centres, hospitality, and manufacturing. The Commercial and residential real estate markets are displaying momentum of recovery.
