The NMDC Steel bear case points toward a slide back near its 52 week low of Rs 33.01 if the risks play out instead. The stock currently trades at Rs 45.31, with a price to earnings multiple of 156.79 (thin current earnings) against an industry average of 22.78. The next two quarters of earnings and sector data will likely decide which case plays out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The NMDC Steel bull case is under the spotlight as investors weigh NMDC Steel&#8217;s recent price action against its underlying fundamentals. The stock trades at Rs 45.31, against a 52 week high of Rs 53.75 and a 52 week low of Rs 33.01, leaving room for both the NMDC Steel bull case and the NMDC Steel bear case to find support in the data.<\/p>\n<p>NMDC Steel operates in the Steel space, and its return on equity of 0.45 percent and debt to equity ratio of 0.35 form the backbone of the fundamental picture. This article lays out the full NMDC Steel bull case and bear case, the data behind each scenario, and the catalysts that could tip the balance one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:
