Shyam Century Ferrous has clarified to BSE the reasons behind ICRA's revision of its long-term credit rating outlook from 'Stable' to 'Negative' (originally announced on 22 August 2024). The negative outlook was triggered mainly by disruptions in power supply, which sharply raised power costs — a major component of the company's expenses. To cope with the disruption, the company has been buying power from alternative sources at much higher tariffs, adding to cost pressures. Compounding the issue, a decline in market prices of ferro silicon has further hurt profitability. Together, these factors have squeezed the company's operating performance over the last four quarters since August 2024.
This is a negative signal for shareholders — a 'Negative' outlook from ICRA raises the risk of an actual rating downgrade and reflects ongoing stress on margins and cash flows. Investors should watch for further updates on power cost stabilisation and ferro silicon pricing, as both directly drive the company's earnings outlook.
