The stock of Tata Steel BSL surged 6 per cent to Rs 61.25 in intra-day trade, quoting close to its 52-week high of Rs 62 touched on April 8.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) grew 25 per cent at Rs 257 crore on a sequential basis. The beat on Ebitda was driven by higher-than-expected volumes and realisation. Sales volumes rose 4 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 1.19 mt.
“The realization increased by Rs 10,182/t (20 per cent) QoQ to Rs 61,367/t. The same was higher by Rs 2,727/t (around 5 per cent) versus our estimate due to better product mix and higher other operating income (up Rs 1,300/t QoQ). As a result, EBITDA/t stood at Rs 21,510/t, up 52 per cent QoQ and 15 per cent higher than our estimate (Rs 18,678),” Motilal Oswal Securities said in a results update.
