After Railway Rally Next on the List? This High Dividend Paying Stock hits 52-week high post Q4 Results!
Lower Oil Prices Fueling Momentum for this PSU!”
The recent plunge in oil prices has sent shockwaves through the market, attracting the attention of investors seeking potential opportunities in oil-dependent sectors.
Among the companies garnering interest is Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), a prominent player in the oil refining and marketing industry.
With a market capitalization of INR 1,22,863 crores, IOC stands as a key player in the sector. Known for its status as a high dividend-paying public sector undertaking (PSU), IOC currently offers an enticing dividend yield of 10%.
However, challenging market conditions in the first half of FY23, coupled with the government’s measures to control inflation, led to losses for oil marketing companies (OMCs) like IOC, resulting in no dividend payouts.
However, the tide has started to turn for IOC. In the third quarter of FY23, the company returned to profitability. This positive momentum, coupled with the recent dip in international oil prices, positions IOC to potentially expand its retail margins, yielding favorable outcomes in the fourth quarter of FY23.
Yesterday, IOCL reported a 52% growth in its consolidated net profit at Rs 10,841 crore for the quarter ended in March. and proposed a final dividend of 30% for the fiscal year 2022-23. This translates to Rs. 3 per equity share with a face value of Rs. 10/- each on the paid-up share capital.
As IOC adapts to the shifting dynamics of the oil market, investors and industry observers are closely monitoring the company’s performance and future prospects.
In this blog, we analyze the opportunities and challenges faced by IOC in the wake of plunging oil prices and gain insights into the potential impact on its growth trajectory and try to find the answer…
Is IOCL poised to become a multi-bagger as big investors show increasing interest in the PSU sector?
