Miniratna PSU stock Mishra Dhatu Nigam (MIDHANI), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Defence, has announced that its Board of Directors will meet on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, to consider and approve the audited financial results (standalone and consolidated) for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2025 (Q4 and FY25).
The company informed stock exchanges—BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE)—about the scheduled board meeting in compliance with Regulation 29 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
In the regulatory filing, MIDHANI also noted that in continuation of its earlier communication, the company’s trading window closure will remain in effect until 48 hours after the declaration of financial results. This is in line with its internal Code of Conduct to Regulate, Monitor, and Report Trading by Designated Persons.
The trading window restrictions aim to prevent insider trading and ensure compliance with SEBI regulations as the company prepares to disclose its financial performance.
December quarter (Q3FY25) Results
For the December 2024 quarter (Q3FY25), MIDHANI posted a strong performance with net profit surging 99.38 percent year-on-year (YoY) to ₹25.52 crore, driven by improved operational efficiencies. EBITDA grew 46 percent YoY to ₹59.72 crore, though revenue from operations dipped 5.13 percent YoY to ₹245.24 crore, highlighting the benefits of cost management and higher recycling efficiency.
Brokerage firm ICICI Securities noted that MIDHANI’s Q3 performance stood out due to cost controls, operational leverage, and a visible pickup in exports. Despite a 13 percent YoY decline in value of production (VoP), the company maintained a robust order book of ₹19,400 crore, translating to a book-to-bill ratio of 1.8x on a trailing twelve-month basis.
Brokerage View
ICICI Securities also sees future growth being driven by the ramp-up of MIDHANI’s newly commissioned 500 tonnes per annum Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) facility, alongside a continued emphasis on cost rationalisation and inventory efficiency.
Factoring in the risks from volatility in currently low imported raw material prices, the brokerage has moderated its valuation multiple to 17x FY27E earnings, arriving at a revised target price of ₹375, and upgraded the stock to a ‘Buy’ rating.
