MUMBAI – Art and stationery product company DOMS Industries Ltd. is expected to report a strong consolidated revenue growth for the June quarter supported by stable demand, expanded distribution, and new product launches, according to the brokerages tracking the company. However, higher input cost is likely to drag down the company's consolidated net profit for the quarter.

 

The Gujarat-based company's net profit for June quarter is expected at INR 583 million, marginally up, both on year and sequentially, according to the average of estimates from six brokerages. The highest estimate for the company's June quarter net profit is INR 660 million from SMIFS Ltd. and the lowest estimate is INR 460 million from Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt. Ltd. The company had reported a net profit of INR 573 million in the year-ago quarter. 

 

The stationery manufacturer is expected to report consolidated net sales of INR 6.71 billion for the June quarter, up nearly 20% on year and 11% sequentially, according to the average of estimates. The highest estimate for the company's June quarter top line is INR 6.75 billion from Axis Securities Ltd. and the lowest is INR 6.6 billion from JM Financial Institutional Securities Pvt. Ltd. The company had reported net sales of INR 5.62 billion in the year-ago quarter. 

 

In the consumer staples sector, revenue growth will be led by resilient demand but persistent inflation in raw material costs due to high crude oil prices is likely to weigh on profitability across the sector, brokerages said. The company's core stationery business is likely to see healthy sales momentum led by the new academic season and expansion in distribution.

 

DOMS' core business is manufacturing and marketing of stationery products. In 2024, the company entered into the baby and personal hygiene market by acquiring a 51.77% stake in Uniclan Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

 

The company is expected to report earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation of INR 1.04 billion for the June quarter, up around 5% from the year-ago quarter, according to the average of five estimates. The highest EBITDA estimate is INR 1.13 billion from SMIFS and the lowest is INR 886 million from Prabhudas Lilladher.

 

The company's EBITDA margin for the June quarter is seen between 13.3% and 16.9%, reflecting a contraction of 70-430 basis points from 17.6% in the year-ago quarter, according to estimates from four brokerages. Charges on account of the employee stock option plan and higher other expenses are likely to compress the margin for the June quarter, brokerages said.

 

All six research reports on the company available with Informist, have a "buy" recommendation on the stock at an average target price of INR 2,716 per share. This is 20% higher than the current market price. Friday, shares of the company closed at INR 2,260 apiece on the National Stock Exchange, marginally from Thursday. The share price is marginally down since the company announced its March quarter earnings on May 18.
