Volume, margin movement to be key drivers for Concor stock going ahead

Despite the weak Q1 show, the company is confident of meeting its EXIM growth target of 10-12% in FY24 given signs of recovery, and expects to maintain margins at the FY23 level (22.7%)

Container Corporation of India (Concor) has been the worst performer among major logistics & port stocks registering returns of about 4 per cent over the past three months as compared to 10-12 per cent for peers Gateway Distriparks and Adani Ports and SEZ. Uncertain outlook on the export-import (EXIM) trade front, market share loss, lack of progress on divestment, and weak June quarter results weighed on the stock.

Volume and margin movement will be key triggers for the stock going ahead. As was the case in the previous quarter, margin performance was muted even in the June quarter.
