Zee Business analysts peg Bharat Forge’s quarterly margin—a key measure of profitability for a business—to improve to 17.1 per cent for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, from 14 per cent a year ago, aided by favourable input costs and better operating leverage. They estimate the Pune-based company’s standalone tonnage to increase 15 per cent, and realisations to improve by 4.4 per cent to Rs 3.24 lakh per tonne.

The forging company is expected to benefit from a low base in the non-auto segment last year. Investors will track Bharat Forge earnings closely for the management’s outlook on defence and airspace segments.
