In the coming quarters, factors such as continuous gain in market share, timely capacity expansion (to reach close to 131 MT by March 2023 from 121 MT at present), and high capacity utilisation are likely to provide UltraTech an edge over its peers.
Synopsis
In the post-earnings’ conference call, the management emphasised on the necessity to increase cement prices to deal with high fuel prices. Without that, there will be pressure on operating profit margins.
ET Intelligence Group: For the UltraTech stock to fire, cement prices must rise. It might sound awfully simple to achieve, but isn’t so in an environment where the biggest cost bucket as a share of sales will likely continue to pinch through the greater part of 2023. And that explains the sudden decline in the stock on Monday, when it fell the most on the Nifty.Restraining fuel costs seems a major challenge, while there is no concrete road map
