Cement Stocks Outlook for the week – 25 to 29.04.2016
(ACC, UltraTech, Ambuja Jan-Mar earnings eyed)

Shares of cement manufacturing companies are seen taking cues next week from the
Jan-Mar earnings of ACC, Ambuja Cements, and UltraTech Cement, the country's three
biggest makers of the building material.

While UltraTech Cement will announce its Jan-Mar earnings on Monday, ACC and
Ambuja Cements will declare their Jan-Mar earnings on Thursday.

Low demand for the building material in the country is seen affecting Cement
companies' Jan-Mar earnings. The drought condition in large parts of the country is also
seen affecting cement companies' near-term performance.
Shares of cement companies will be affected in the near term due to shortage of water
in rural areas and a muted demand in urban areas.

ACC is seen reporting a 14.4% on-year fall in its Jan-Mar consolidated net profit to
2.02 bln rupees. Ambuja Cements is seen reporting a 17% on-year fall in its Jan-Mar
net profit to 2.64 bln rupees.
