ACC reported lower-than-estimated operating performance (adjusted for one-offs). While the company continued to post higher volume growth (up 20% YoYin 3Q), driven by higher MSA volumes, lower realization weighed on margins. Motilal Oswal Financial Services expects margin recovery to be gradual due to weak pricing in a few of its core markets (South and East) and slower-than-expected realization in cost savings through group synergy. The brokerage cut its EBITDA estimates by 18%/13%/11% for FY25/FY26/FY27. They estimated a CAGR of 34%/41% for EBITDA/PAT over FY25-27, albeit on a low base. Motilal Oswal estimates a volume CAGR of ~9% over FY25-27. Additionally, EBITDA/t is estimated to improve to Rs 690/ Rs 800 in FY26/FY27 vs INR530 in FY25. ACC trades inexpensively at 10x/7x FY26E/FY27E EV/EBITDA. The brokerage values the stock at 10x Dec?26E EV/EBITDA to arrive at our revised target price of Rs 2,400 (earlier Rs 2,680).
