Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
J K Cements has a market capitalisation of about Rs 39,507 crore and trades at a P/E of 42.7x and a P/B of 5.69x. Sales have compounded at 16% over 5 years and 16% on a TTM basis, and ROE has held steady at around 15% (16% last year). Profit growth has been uneven: 33% over 3 years but only 6% TTM and 7% over 5 years. The stock has returned -21% over the past year, against a 10-year CAGR of 19%.
- Revenue growth has been consistent: sales compounded at 16% over 5 years and 16% on a TTM basis, above the 12% 10-year rate, which points to recent capacity additions translating into volume growth.
- Profit compounded at 33% over both 3 and 10 years, so the company has been able to grow earnings meaningfully across cement cycles.
- ROE has been steady at 15% over 3, 5 and 10 years and improved to 16% last year. That suggests disciplined capital allocation in a capital-intensive sector.
- Over the long term the stock has compounded at 19% a year across 10 years and 16% across 3 years, a track record of creating shareholder value.
- The 1-year stock return of -21% has pulled the valuation down from earlier levels, even though sales are still growing at 16% TTM.
- A market cap of about Rs 39,507 crore places the company among the larger listed cement players, which gives it scale for expansion and access to institutional capital in a consolidating industry.
- The company pays a dividend yield of 0.39%. It is small, but it shows a consistent payout while the company funds growth capex.
- At a P/E of 42.7x the stock is priced richly for a cyclical commodity business, especially since TTM profit growth is only 6%.
- The stock trades at 5.49-5.69x book value. For a business earning about 15-16% ROE, that multiple implies high expectations for future returns.
- Profit growth is lagging sales: TTM profit grew 6% against 16% sales growth, and 5-year profit CAGR is 7% against 16% sales CAGR. Margins appear to be under pressure from costs, pricing or rising interest and depreciation.
- The company may be capitalising interest cost. That can flatter reported earnings during capex phases, which matters when the P/E is already 42.7x.
- The stock has fallen 21% over the past year and its 5-year CAGR of 10% is well below its 10-year CAGR of 19%, so returns are slowing.
- A 15% ROE sustained over 10 years is adequate but has not expanded meaningfully, which limits the case for a premium valuation above 5x book.
- The dividend yield of just 0.39% offers little income cushion if the valuation multiple contracts toward sector averages.
- Debt-to-equity data is unavailable. Combined with possible interest capitalisation during expansion, that makes balance sheet leverage harder to assess.
