The brokerage states that a sequential fall of 5%/17%/27% in Revenue/EBITDA/APAT is anticipated for the metals industry. The decline in ASP, the low prices of ferrous and LME, the seasonally sluggish quarter, and the unpredictability of the global macroeconomic environment are the reasons for this decline. Ferrous, non-ferrous, and mining companies were expected to report mixed results by the brokerage.

"Novelis EBITDA/t guidance is crucial. Timeline on commissioning of multiple capex is crucial. We await management guidance on domestic Aluminum demand along with the hedging position," the brokerage said.
