BQ Blue's special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India's top brokerages. These reports offer BloombergQuint's subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

HDFC Securities Report

Star Cement Ltd. reported 37/42/49% YoY consolidated revenue/ Ebitda/ adjusted profit after tax decline to Rs 2.92/0.65/0.43 billion respectively.

Total sales volume fell 38/49% YoY/QoQ to 0.45 million metric tonne, which is due to significant sales loss in April and early May.

However, Star Cement registered volume growth in June, despite Covid-19 impact. Net sales realisation firmed up 6% QoQ (up 5% YoY), aided by price hikes and lower clinker sales in Q1.

Pent-up demand execution and upcoming Siliguri grinding units should accelerate volume growth hereon.

Further, the upcoming e-auction of local coal should aid fuel cost reduction. We estimate 15% Ebitda compound annual growth rate during FY20-23E.
