Welspun Corp Surges on $850 Million US Orders

Welspun Corp Limited, a dominant player in the global steel pipe manufacturing sector, has seen its stock price jump significantly following the announcement of two large orders in the United States. The orders, valued at over Rs. 7,000 crore, are tied to the manufacturing of steel pipes for a critical natural gas pipeline project, slated for execution in fiscal years 2025 and 2026. This development has prompted a positive market response, with Welspun’s stock rising by 4.4% to Rs. 125.42 per share as of December 9, 2024, pushing its market capitalisation to approximately Rs. 21,078 crore.

The company’s newly awarded contracts involve the supply of HSAW (Helically Submerged Arc Welded) and HFIW (High Frequency Induction Welded) pipes, both integral to large-scale energy infrastructure projects. These contracts reinforce Welspun’s position as a leading supplier in the US oil and gas transmission sector, enhancing its long-term growth prospects. This surge in stock prices comes amidst a mixed financial performance for Welspun Corp in the recent quarter. For Q2 FY25, the company reported a year-on-year decline of 18.6% in consolidated revenue, dropping from Rs. 4,059 crore in Q2 FY24 to Rs. 3,302 crore. However, there was a quarter-on-quarter growth of 5.2%, indicating a potential recovery from previous setbacks. Additionally, Welspun’s net profit decreased by 26.8% year-on-year, from Rs. 387 crore in Q2 FY24 to Rs. 283 crore, though it registered a 14.1% increase compared to the previous quarter.

Despite these mixed financials, the long-term outlook for Welspun Corp appears robust, especially with the additional business secured in the US energy infrastructure sector. This development is expected to further solidify its standing as one of the top three line pipe manufacturers globally, catering to the oil, gas, and water transmission industries. The company’s diversified portfolio, which now includes ductile iron pipes and TMT rebars, positions it for continued growth. With an installed capacity of 2.5 million metric tons across its six manufacturing facilities, Welspun Corp serves over 50 countries, making it a critical player in the steel industry. The company’s focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles further strengthens its credibility and sustainability credentials in a competitive global market.
