The bearing cage is the component that houses the ball bearings, which helps achieve low-friction, smooth, and high-precision rotational movement. As simple as it may appear, it is the crucial component of any machinery with rotational movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsha Engineers, a listed company, is the leading manufacturer of precision bearing cages in the world, with a market share of approximately 5-6% in the organized segment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/key-global-events-that-can-influence-the-stock-market-this-week-3\/\">global<\/a> brass, steel, and polyamide bearing cages in terms of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\">IPO<\/a> launch in September 2022, the company has witnessed higher investors\u2019 interest, and Harsha Engineers share price has given superior returns to its early investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will check the factors affecting Harsha Engineers share price growth, but first, a quick overview of the company&#8217;s operations and finances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Brief Overview of Harsha Engineers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsha Engineers was incorporated in 1986 and is the largest manufacturer of bearing cages in the organized market in India in terms of capacity and operations.

After a successful <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\" title=\"IPO\" link=\"linked\" id=\"256\">IPO<\/a>, the company went public on September 26, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Business Overview of Harsha Engineers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsha Engineers is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing high-precision bearing cages and solar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company&#8217;s solar division was previously known as Harsha Abakus, a global entity founded in 2013.

The stock fell to a low of \u20b9309 and has yet to rise above its listing price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The probable factors that are affecting the Harsha Engineers share price growth are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Decline in Operational Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first six months of FY24, the company experienced a notable decrease in operational efficiency, with EBITDA margin falling from 15% in H1FY23 to 12.76% in H1FY24. The Earnings per Share during the same period fell from \u20b97.55 to \u20b94.94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Return on Average Equity (ROAE) went from 15.29% in H1FY23 to 8.23% in H1FY24, impacting investors\u2019 sentiment and the company&#8217;s market valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Slowdown in Key Markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Romania and China are the two most important markets for the company, which is experiencing double-digit degrowth. In addition, the company&#8217;s growth strategy is being impacted by a softening global wind market and steep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/10-common-effects-of-inflation-on-the-economy\/\">inflation<\/a> in Europe. The company&#8217;s management has expressed concern about improving operational and profit margins in Romania and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Degrowth in Engineering &amp; Others Segment in India<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s stand-alone engineering segment has witnessed a revenue degrowth of 4-5% in Q2FY24 as exports to Europe and China were impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsha Engineers share price has been impacted by the market cycle&#8217;s contraction, which has affected its profitability and operational metrics in the short term. However, the bearing cage market is expanding due to increased usage in key fast-growing end-user industries. It is expected to grow at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/blog\/what-is-cagr-compound-annual-growth-rate-meaning-formula\/\">CAGR<\/a> of 6.4% to $8.5 billion by 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bearing companies globally are steadily shifting towards outsourcing the production of critical components to dependable suppliers. With its cost-effective solutions and global presence, Harsha Engineers enjoys a long-term advantage in this evolving landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-0-color has-secondary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-450c507f5c61456b4921eb4a8d81817f\"><strong>Know more about:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\">IPOs<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/current-new-ipos\">Current IPOs<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/current-new-ipos\">&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/upcoming-ipos\">Upcoming IPOs <\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/listed-ipos\">Listed IPO<\/a>s | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/closed-ipos\">Closed IPOs<\/a> | <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.equentis.com\/ipos\/ipo-performers\">IPO Performers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-a395292e7d0cd7a5dc7913606dcc3cf0\">*Disclaimer Note: The securities quoted, if any, are for illustration only and are not recommendatory.
