Another independent analyst on Smartkarma, Trung Nguyen, also has a bearish view on JSW Steel Ltd. In his report, titled “JSW Steel – Earnings Flash – Q2 FY 2023-24 Results – Lucror Analytics“, Nguyen notes that the company has delivered strong results in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023-24. This is due to higher volumes and a recovery in steel prices. Nguyen also mentions that the company’s financial risk profile is improving and liquidity is adequate. However, the key credit driver for the company remains steel prices, and Nguyen expects better results in the second half of the fiscal year. With a stable debt and improving leverage profile, JSW Steel Ltd may see a larger earnings improvement in the future.
