Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
ACC Ltd has a market capitalisation of about Rs 23,192 crore and trades at 12.2x earnings and 1.13x book value. The balance sheet is almost debt-free. TTM sales grew 12%, but TTM profit fell 19%, ROE was 11% last year, and debtor and working capital days have both risen sharply. The stock has returned -32% over 1 year and -12% CAGR over 5 years.
- The company is almost debt-free. That leaves room to fund expansion and reduces financial risk in a capital-intensive, cyclical business.
- The stock trades at 1.13x book value, close to its net asset value, for a business that has earned about 12% ROE over 10 years.
- The P/E of 12.2x is modest for a large-cap company with 3-year profit CAGR of 31%.
- TTM sales growth of 12% is well above the 3-year sales CAGR of 5%, which points to stronger recent volume or pricing momentum.
- Profit compounded at 31% over 3 years, showing the earnings base has grown well from earlier levels even after the recent drop.
- Sales compounded at 14% over 5 years and 8% over 10 years, a long record of top-line growth.
- ROE has held steady at 12-13% over the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, which suggests stable returns through the cycle.
- The company pays a dividend yield of 0.61% while keeping a nearly debt-free balance sheet.
- TTM profit fell 19% even though TTM sales rose 12%. Profits falling while sales grow points to margin compression from costs, pricing pressure or other operating issues.
- Shareholder returns have been weak across every period: -32% over 1 year, -15% CAGR over 3 years, -12% CAGR over 5 years and -3% CAGR over 10 years.
- Working capital days rose from 31.9 to 71.0, more than doubling. This ties up more cash in operations and weighs on cash conversion.
- Debtor days rose from 29.6 to 54.0. The company may be offering longer credit to support sales, which raises collection risk.
- ROE was only 11% last year and averaged 12.6% over 3 years. That is modest for a business priced at 1.13x book value and may explain why the stock trades near book.
- The tax rate looks low. If it goes back to normal levels, reported earnings would fall and the P/E of 12.2x would be higher than it now looks.
- The 3-year sales CAGR is only 5%, well below the 5-year CAGR of 14%, so medium-term top-line growth has slowed.
- The dividend yield of 0.61% gives little income support while the share price has been falling.

AI News Digest
- Shareholders approve Ambuja merger Sep 29
At an NCLT-convened meeting on September 29, 2026, ACC equity shareholders approved the Scheme of Amalgamation with Ambuja Cements, with 95.52% of votes in favour. This clears a key step toward consolidating the group's cement businesses.
- 2.4 MTPA Salai Banwa plant commissioned Sep 30
ACC commissioned a new 2.4 MTPA cement grinding plant at Salai Banwa and added 1 MTPA of blending capacity at Kalamboli. Together that's 3.4 MTPA of new capacity across multiple locations.
- Mumbai investor meets, Sep 21-22 Sep 16
ACC scheduled in-person investor and analyst meetings in Mumbai on September 21 and 22, 2026, alongside the JP Morgan and Anand Rathi conferences. These are routine engagements with no new disclosures expected.
- Ahmedabad sell-side analyst meet Sep 21
ACC held a physical meeting with sell-side analysts in Ahmedabad on September 25, 2026. Only publicly available information was covered.
TL;DR: ACC has strong execution momentum. Shareholders backed the Ambuja Cements merger with 95.52% of votes, and the company added 3.4 MTPA of grinding and blending capacity at Salai Banwa and Kalamboli. These articles report no direct headwinds, though investors should track the remaining regulatory and NCLT approvals and the effect of ACC eventually being absorbed into Ambuja. The near-term trend looks better, with the merger timeline and how quickly the new capacity is used as the next things to watch.
