Q2 earnings in focus

Both Vedanta Ltd and Vedanta Aluminium are set to announce their July to September quarter results for the financial year on Wednesday, October 28. The companies are expected to report their earnings during the afternoon market hours or after market close today.

Vedanta is one of India’s major diversified conglomerates focusing on natural resources, energy and technology, and mining metals like zinc, silver, copper, nickel and ferrous alloys.

The key focus of investors in Q2 earnings is expected to remain on the company’s cost of production factor, which is anticipated to witness a significant increase due to the elevated cost of crude oil and the supply chain disruption due to the West Asia crisis.

Mining and production companies are highly capital intensive, leading to heavy requirements of energy sources like oil to operate heavy machinery and equipment. Higher oil prices, in turn, impact the company’s margins as the firms will be spending more to buy the energy source.

While other key factors like the elevated cost of metals in the global market, combined with the consumer demand and the weakness in India rupee is expected to aid the overall revenues in the period.
