“On a comparative basis, and on a peer-to-peer comparison, I think out of the large-cap names, UltraTech Cement is something that has a clear disclaimer we keep on holding in our global portfolios. But again, numbers were relatively better, and the kind of outlook that UltraTech Cement probably has, both in terms of organic and inorganic growth, is expected to add a significant amount of capacity over the next couple of years.

Green energy is probably taking shape quite significantly, almost 30 to 33% in terms of captive energy consumption. Value-add products are also going higher, and therefore, I think the synergies that will be built in with utilisation level expected to go higher with calibrated capex that will probably play out in terms of absolute bit, tiny bit up a tonne that will probably report over the next few quarters. So I think out of the leadership stocks that we like, UltraTech Cement remains right there at the top spot.

With the mid-cap names, JK Cement, which is obviously a mix of white and grey cement, is something where the earnings growth should continue to be a key driver going forward as well. The expectations, again, in terms of capacity additions that are expected to happen, input costs are relatively benign, as we speak, for the sector as a whole.

And therefore, input costs, along with logistic costs moderating, should probably play out effectively for well-managed companies. And our take is that within the mid-cap space. JK, probably is one, so a couple of stocks within the space that we continue to remain optimistic.”

“The beats predominantly were the metal sector that has done well, and some of the consumer names have done well. Cement, as expected, on a low base, has done well. These are some of the sectors that have done well so far in the results season.

We have increased our metals exposure in that way; cement is where it is. We have trimmed some of the IT exposure that we had, because the growth rates there are slowing down, and that’s been the key change the last month or so.”
