    Managerial commentary:

    Neeraj Akhoury, Managing Director, Shree Cement Ltd. said, “Shree Cement continues its strong focus on operational efficiencies to mitigate increase in the input costs including fuel. We are determined to become the greenest cement company with global scale performance on power mix. In the quarter gone by, there has been a strong momentum in cement demand due to rise in construction activities. In the Union Budget 2023-24, capital investments has been given a major fillip by providing ever highest allocation of ₹10 lakh crore and cement demand, being linked with capex activities, would surely get a big boost from the same. Shree Cement is perfectly positioned to perform in these exciting times. We will continue to build new plants to meet the growing cement demand in India.”

    Outlook:

    Shree Cement reported in-line revenue growth of 18.88% YoY on account of robust volume growth of 23% YoY. However, the company was not able to perform on the PAT front due to increased costs. Given the government’s focus on infrastructure growth in the Union Budget 2023-24 through higher allocation for road construction projects, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), highest ever capital investment outlay, and other overall buoyancy in the economy, cement sector is poised for robust growth in coming years. However, rising input costs led by higher fuel prices may impact the margins. For the 9MFY23 Shree Cement has reported the earnings of Rs.206.46 and we expect the company to close the FY23 at the eEPS of Rs.275.28. Based on the estimated earnings the company is available at PEx of 88.06 at the CMP.
