Did $Ambuja Cements Ltd Deserve The Bashing? 🏗️

Just by being under the Adani label, Ambuja was struck down by 23%, despite not being mentioned in the famed Hindenburg report! Is it a good time to buy?

📍Grouping Ambuja with Adani’s allegations would be baseless as it has a higher free float of 36%, a Debt: Equity ratio of 0.01x (Adani group at 2.2x) and zero pledging, thereby absolving it of stock manipulation, high indebtedness and dangerous levels of share pledging as collateral

📍The Budget’s massive capex outlay of Rs. 10 lakh crore (+33.4% YoY) will push the infrastructure sector well, and the proximity of the General Elections 2024 will expedite execution, boosting cement demand

đź“ŤAfter minimal capacity addition for a decade, Ambuja engaged in expansion right before the Adani acquisition (30 MTPA to 70 MTPA). Adani also intends to invest Rs. 20,000 crore to double that capacity in 5 year!

📍 With inflation cooling down and raw material prices along with it, margin pressure will ease. Coupled with efforts to improve plant efficiency in Ambuja’s existing fleet, profitability is sure to come in at industry-leading levels

đź“Ť At a 10x EV/EBITDA (FY24E) multiple, Ambuja is miles apart from the exorbitant ~ 41x EV/EBITDA (FY24E) multiple of the Adani group, and is at a discount compared to its cement peers as well, making Ambuja an interesting proposition
