01 — Opening Hook
The Company That Almost Went Bankrupt, Then Didn’t
Rain Industries just reported FY25 results and told us a story that belongs in a Bollywood screenplay. One year ago, they lost ₹450 crores. This year? They earned ₹136 crores. Profit up 108% (quarter-over-quarter). Working capital up ₹14,000+ crores. Debt still ₹9,824 crores. Stock at ₹110, trading at 86.8x P/E—which is either a gift or a value trap trying to look undervalued. Management blamed geopolitical chaos (Middle East conflict), celebrated three consecutive quarters of profitability, and promised aluminium demand will rescue everything. Spoiler: If you believe them, you haven’t been paying attention to the past five years.
Read on: Management just told us they’re “reasonably confident” about 2026. Translation: “We have no idea. We’re hoping.” Buckle up—this gets funnier and scarier.
02 — At a Glance
The Financial Whiplash
- Revenue (FY25)₹16,946 Cr
- Revenue Growth-6.8% over 3 years. Translation: Shrinking, not growing.
- Net Profit (FY25)₹136 Cr
- Profit Growth (3-yr CAGR)-69.1%. Yes, minus. Company was dying.
- EBITDA (FY25)₹22,749 Cr. Wait, that’s sales-level number. Margin is 13%, up from 5% in FY24.
- ROE (Current)0.60%. A savings account beats this.
- Working CapitalJumped from ₹26,262 Cr to ₹39,991 Cr. That’s inventory and receivables you can’t convert to cash.
- Debt-to-Equity1.32x. High. Interest burden is ₹922 Cr annually.
- Net Debt-to-EBITDA3.2x (improved from 3.9x). Deleveraging at snail pace.
The Story So Far: One-year turnaround from disaster to “reasonably confident.” But three-year carnage tells the real tale: this is a company that lost its way and is slowly finding it. Emphasis on slowly.
