How might HEG's planned capacity expansion to 115,000 tons by 2028 impact its competitive positioning if GrafTech's fair valuation losses continue to pressure quarterly profitability?
What is the strategic rationale behind extending corporate guarantees and security creation for subsidiary TACC Limited, and could this increase HEG's overall financial risk exposure in FY27?
Given that GrafTech's fair valuation losses drove negative EBITDA in Q4FY26, how vulnerable is HEG's future earnings to further deterioration in GrafTech's market performance?
