Sulphuric acid prices are trading at all-time highs, levels never seen before ? Who will be the biggest beneficiary?


HFCL: Right place, right time "Dene wala jab bhee deta, deta chhappar phad ke" HFCL recently posted blockbuster Q4FY26 results with >100% revenue growth while PAT went from a loss of 84 crores to a profit of 184 Crores AI-led capex boom resulting is abnormally high demand for optical fibers + huge tailwinds in defence & aerospace Recently, I did a post on sterlite technologies: x.com/shiladitya4u/s… While Sterlite is a pure play on optical fiber boom, HFCL is a slightly more diversified conglomerate with the defence & aerospace also poised to become a significant contributor going forward. Lets look into the business in little more details Recorder orderbook of >21000 crores, more than 2X jump, hyperscaler order of $1.05Bn to start execution in Jun-2026 Company is almost operating at full capacity utilization, and continuously expanding capacity as order inflow is too strong. In general, data center OFC is higher margin products, DC interconnects are even more higher margin, they expect DC interconnect to generate 400 cr revenue in FY26 and 800 cr in FY27 conservatively Optical fiber capex- 28 to 34 mn km by Dec 2026, Optical fiber cable capacity 34-39 by June 2026 and 43 mn km by Dec 2026 Preform capex of 580 Cr of 300 T/month (internal requirement is 1000 T/month), to be ready by Apr-2028. 15-20% cost reduction. This is not a near-term trigger. Also, this is a major difference from Sterlite tech. While Sterlite tech makes its own preform, HFCL buys it from external vendors. So, I believe Sterlite hsa even more scope of margin expansion if they are able to execute well. HFCL said they don't have any major impact of Iran war. Though there is price inflation of raw materials, they are easily able to pass the same and they have long term contracts with vendors which are going without disruption Defense & Aerospace Expansion: HFCL is consolidating its defense business under its subsidiary, HFCL Advanced Systems Private Limited (HASPL). Recently HASPL acquired Defsys solutions has 1900+ cr export orders in aerospace & aerostructures, a very high entry barrier business segment. The company has been allotted 1,000 acres of land in Andhra Pradesh to set up a dedicated ammunition facility (artillery shells, grenades etc.) HFCL is currently going through the approval process for electronic fuzes, BMP Tank Upgrades each of which has a very large TAM Overall, defence & aerospace orderbook is 2230 Cr, of which 1930 cr is exports. Defence & Aerspace business is expected to scale up rapidly - from 200 cr in FY26 to 500 Cr in FY27 and 800+ Cr in FY28. Also, this is a higher margin business than their optical fiber business Overall guidance Management has guided for 'atleast 20-25%' revenue growth and 3-4% margin expansion. I think this is conservative if we look at the Q4Fy26 numbers & given the huge orderbook. I won't be surprised if the company shows a growth of 35-40% in FY27. My rough estimates for FY27: 600-750 Cr PAT, which means stock is trading at 25-32 times FY27 EPS Not cheap, not overvalued. But, given the market's craze about hot sectors, I won't be surprised if market gives it high valuations. This is not a buy/sell reco. Please do thorough research before investing.
