Power equipment manufacturer ABB India's shares were sharply lower by 5% in early trade on November 5 after results that missed street expectations. However, the management commentary in the analyst concall was very upbeat.
ABB India said the share of large orders in the order book has increased, and the company is seeing an uptick in large contracts, with a healthy visibility for the business in the next 3-4 quarters.
However, the conversion of the orderbook into revenue may not happen at the same pace as before, given the larger size of the fresh orders now, ABB India added.
It continues to see momentum in base orders and added that the demand from data centres is healthy.
ABB India reported a 21.4% rise in net profit at Rs 4.4 bn for the third quarter while the total income increased 5.2% on year to Rs 30 bn from Rs 28.5 bn in the year-ago period. Profit growth was aided by higher other income.
