HEG Ltd (HEGAM) Q2FY26 Concall Summary - Sep-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company demonstrated operational resilience by achieving higher revenues and decent profits for the quarter, driven primarily by an increase in sales volumes.
- HEG continues to operate at one of the industry's highest utilization levels, maintaining over 90% capacity utilization for the first half of FY26, a significant increase from the 80% utilization in the previous fiscal year.
- The graphite electrode market remains challenging due to muted customer demand, cautious procurement, and aggressive export pricing from Chinese suppliers, which has intensified margin pressure globally.
- A key headwind is the recent imposition of a 50% reciprocal duty in the U.S., which could impact competitiveness, although management is hopeful for a reduction to more reasonable levels.
- The company remains confident in the medium- to long-term growth trajectory, supported by the global transition to low-emission Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking, which is expected to generate substantial incremental demand for graphite electrodes.
