Simplex Castings reported 9M FY26 revenue of ~150 crore with PAT of ~15 crore, in line with last year. Current quarterly order book stands at over 100 crore, broken down as 50% steel plants, 30% fabrication/power (including BHEL and Gaja Engineering), 20% across gearbox/pumps/machine tools, and 5-6% from Mazgaon Dock (shipbuilding). Management highlighted completion of a 50.15 crore fundraise, with 50% earmarked for capex (railway bogie expansion) and 50% for working capital. Q3 had softer EBITDA margins due to product mix, but management guided for margin recovery and is targeting EBITDA improvement of a couple of percentage points this year, along with a 40-50% CAGR over three years and sustained ~10% PAT margins. Key growth drivers identified are railways (casted bogies awaiting final RDSO clearance, expected to scale in FY26-27), power sector (Adani's 16 and NTPC's 22 thermal plants coming up, with no new plants allowed post-2030), and selective defense/shipbuilding (10-15% of revenue). The company is also evaluating a potential aluminum foundry acquisition and a Vizag plant tie-up with Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel.
Positive for shareholders — the company has a diversified, growing order pipeline, fresh capital for railway expansion, and explicit multi-year growth and margin guidance. However, execution risk remains: RDSO clearance is still pending for casted bogies, and management acknowledged they will be selective on power sector orders to avoid liquidity strain similar to the 2019 working capital crisis. Q4 visibility is decent with revenue expected above last year's 67 crore, but full upside hinges on railway order conversion.
