Investment Rationale
In Q4FY25, lower costs drove improved margins both YoY and QoQ. Cement prices in the South rose by Rs 30-35 per bag in Apr'25, further supporting margins going forward. However, the region faces high competitive intensity, making price sustainability a key factor to watch. The cement sector is expected to grow at 1.2 times the pace of GDP, with India's GDP projected to rise 6.5%-7% over the next few years. Axis Securities remains positive on the company's growth prospects and expect it to deliver a Volume/Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 8% /6% /11%/ 17% over FY24-FY27E. Capacity expansion, market share gains, and operational efficiencies will drive this growth. Additionally, with the growing pace of consolidation and capacity expansion by top players, their overall market share is set to increase further to 65%-70% by FY27-28.
This trend will positively influence cement pricing, economies of scale, and supply chain efficiency. The company, being among the top 5 players in the country, is well-positioned to benefit from this consolidation in the medium to long term.. Pricing remains a key factor to monitor closely. The stock is currently trading at 13x and 11x FY26E/FY27E EV/EBITDA and EV/tonne of $92 and $95. The valuation remains attractive. The brokerage maintains its BUY rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 2,260/share, implying an upside of 14% from the CMP.
