Q: When do you expect normalization of spinning spreads, and what are the key drivers? A: The normalization of cotton spreads depends on various factors, including geopolitical issues. We expect margins to normalize in the next 3 to 6 months as uncertainties settle. The prolonged margin compression is expected to ease in 1 or 2 quarters. (Respondent: Unidentified_4)
Q: How are fabric margins compared to spinning, and will the import duty on cotton be extended? A: Fabric margins are normal, but overall margins are down due to lower yarn prices. The import duty on cotton is not expected to be extended beyond March 31, 2026. Currently, there is no need to stock up on cotton as domestic prices are aligning with imported cotton prices. (Respondent: Unidentified_4)
Q: What impact do falling prices have on margins, and how is the domestic market performing? A: Cotton prices have fallen more than yarn prices, which may lead to some margin improvement quarter-on-quarter. The domestic market demand is low, affecting both yarns and fabrics. We are diversifying our customer base and focusing on low-tariff countries to mitigate this. (Respondent: Unidentified_4)
Q: What are the plans for sales volume growth, and how will the company handle US tariffs? A: We do not expect significant issues with sales volumes as deferred orders will be fulfilled in the current quarter. We are diversifying into markets with no tariffs and increasing capacity to support sales growth. (Respondent: Unidentified_4)
Q: How will the power savings from green energy investments affect margins? A: We expect to retain the margin benefits from green energy investments, which should reduce power costs by about 5%. Not all companies can invest in green energy, so we anticipate maintaining this advantage. (Respondent: Unidentified_4)
