BUY
Risk medium

UltraTech Cement commands overwhelming analyst consensus with 84% buy ratings and delivers strong TTM profit growth of 36%. However, the premium valuation at 40.9x PE and modest ROE of 11% warrant patience for better entry points.

Bull Case 8
  • Overwhelming analyst consensus with 84.21% buy ratings (32 out of 38 analysts recommend buy)
  • TTM compounded profit growth of 36% signals strong earnings momentum and operational leverage
  • Consistent 10-year sales CAGR of 13% demonstrates durable demand and market share gains
  • Market cap of Rs 3,33,754 Cr reflects dominant industry position as India's largest cement manufacturer
  • Healthy dividend payout ratio of 51.1% shows shareholder-friendly capital allocation
  • 3-year compounded profit growth of 18% outpaces 3-year sales growth of 12%, indicating margin expansion
  • 10-year stock CAGR of 13% demonstrates consistent long-term wealth creation for investors
  • 5-year compounded sales growth of 15% reflects strong execution through multiple economic cycles
Bear Case 8
  • Stock trades at 4.37x book value, significantly above sector average, limiting margin of safety
  • PE ratio of 40.9x is elevated for a commodity/cement business with cyclical earnings
  • Return on equity of just 10.9-11% over 3 years is below cost of equity for such premium valuation
  • 1-year stock CAGR of -1% indicates price stagnation despite strong earnings growth
  • Dividend yield of only 0.68% offers minimal income support at current elevated price levels
  • 5-year compounded profit growth of only 8% reveals earnings volatility across business cycles
  • ROE has remained flat at 11-12% over 3, 5, and 10-year periods showing no structural improvement in capital efficiency
  • Only 5.26% sell ratings (2 analysts) suggests potential crowded consensus risk if cycle turns
