Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
ACC Ltd, with a market cap of ₹23,190 Cr, trades at a PE of 12.4x and 1.15x book value. The company is nearly debt-free with TTM sales growth of 12%, but profitability has declined 19% on a TTM basis, and working capital efficiency has deteriorated with debtor days rising from 29.6 to 54.0 days.
- Almost debt-free balance sheet, providing financial flexibility and low interest burden in a capital-intensive cement industry
- PE ratio of 12.4x is modest for a large cement company, suggesting the stock is not pricing in aggressive growth expectations
- Trading at just 1.15x book value, which is low relative to historical cement sector valuations
- TTM revenue growth of 12% indicates healthy top-line momentum despite a challenging demand environment
- 3-year compounded profit growth of 31% reflects strong earnings recovery over the medium term
- 10-year compounded sales CAGR of 8% and profit CAGR of 12% show a consistent long-term earnings trajectory
- 5-year compounded sales growth of 14% demonstrates the company's ability to scale revenue through industry cycles
- TTM compounded profit has declined 19%, signalling margin compression or rising input costs eroding profitability
- Stock price CAGR of -32% over 1 year and -15% over 3 years reflects sustained underperformance and negative sentiment
- Debtor days have nearly doubled from 29.6 to 54.0 days, indicating weakening collections and potential credit risk from customers
- Working capital days have more than doubled from 31.9 to 71.0 days, tying up significantly more cash in operations
- 3-year average ROE of 12.6% is below what investors typically expect from a well-run cement business
- Last year ROE fell to 11%, down from the 3-year average of 13%, showing a declining trend in capital efficiency
- 10-year stock CAGR of -2% means long-term shareholders have seen negative returns, lagging broader market indices significantly
- Apparently low tax rate raises questions about the sustainability of reported earnings and potential future tax normalisation
