Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Volume growth is expected to continue on a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) basis for the next 1 to 2 quarters due to prior planning and preparation.
  • Subsequently, volume growth is likely to flatten with unit sales becoming flattish quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q).
  • Revenue growth will continue driven primarily by price increases rather than volume growth beyond this period.
  • The market anticipates a 15% to 20% growth rate for the base business supported by price hikes and some extra stocking.
  • Demand is buoyant with consumers preponing purchases due to expected further price rises.
  • Overall long-term volume growth is guided around 8% to 10% Y-o-Y aligned with GDP growth, economy, digitalization, and low PC penetration.
  • Large projects pipeline is decent but execution slowed by supply constraints and price volatility; some conversions expected in FY '27.
  • Price hikes are expected to continue, sustaining revenue growth even if volumes are flat.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • For the next 1 to 2 quarters, volume growth (units) is expected to continue on a year-over-year (Y-o-Y) basis due to advance planning and strong demand (Page 19).
  • Subsequently, volume growth may flatten due to price hikes leading to affordability constraints (Pages 15 and 19).
  • Revenue growth will primarily be driven by price increases of 20%-30% in laptops/desktops and much higher in some components, offsetting flat or declining volumes (Pages 13, 14, 15).
  • PAT margins have improved and are expected to remain healthy around current levels (~1.8%), supported by product mix, distribution reach, and operating efficiencies (Pages 13 and 14).
  • Operating cash flows have turned positive, indicating better working capital management, aiding sustainable profit growth (Page 11).
  • Enterprise business and new initiatives (e.g., Dell partnership) are expected to contribute to growth in FY '27 and beyond (Page 13).
  • Overall, despite volume moderation, higher realizations and operating efficiencies underpin optimistic earnings growth in FY '26 and FY '27 (Pages 13-15, 19).

Order book

  • The pipeline for large deals is described as "decent" with many projects in the demand pipeline.
  • Execution of these large deals is slower due to supply constraints and ongoing price increases.
  • Price confirmation from suppliers is less valid for long periods (i.e., not valid for 6-9 months) because of price volatility.
  • Conversions of these pipeline projects to actual orders are expected to happen in FY '27.
  • For the current fiscal year, there is no large project order comparable to the previous year's nearly INR 2,000 crores order.
  • The revenue growth seen is without any large project orders in the current fiscal year.
  • Supply-side constraints and price hikes are impacting the speed and execution of orders.
  • Overall, a decent pipeline exists but full realization of these orders is slowed down by supply and pricing factors.

Capex plans

  • There is no explicit mention of current or planned future capex or strategic capital investments in the provided transcript from the Rashi Peripherals Limited call.
  • The focus appears to be on optimizing working capital, managing inventory, and expanding the distribution network (e.g., launch of a new branch in Solapur, now 55 branches in India).
  • Expansion efforts are oriented towards increasing market reach and product portfolio rather than major capital expenditure.
  • The UAE subsidiary setup is highlighted primarily for execution purposes and potential future business expansion.
  • Overall, investments seem directed towards network expansion, inventory management, and ecosystem building rather than heavy capital asset investments at this time.
