HEIDELBERG CEMENT INDIA LTD
CMP - Rs.203.35
BSE CODE 500292
Volume 45363
Face Value Rs.10
Target Rs.225
Stoploss Rs.185 (CLS)
Heidelberg Cement India is one of the leading producers of building materials worldwide. Their company's core products are cement, ready mix concrete (RMC), aggregates and related activities. The company’s limited capacity addition in the central region will drive utilisation. Heidelberg Cement India has an exposure of about 94% of its sales in this region, which reflects a pick-up in construction activity, coupled with better sand availability in Uttar Pradesh which drove cement volumes in H1FY19. Also, the hike in minimum support prices of agriculture produce and higher infra spend are likely to keep cement demand strong. Consequently, we expect revenues to increase at 12.4% CAGR in FY18-20E. The strong retail presence will keep realisations high. Heidelberg is a 100 per cent blended products company with more than 80 per cent of its sales coming from the trade segment, where prices are ~8-10 per cent higher than non-trade segment. We recommend a BUY.
