Peers are the listed companies in the exchange's own industry group: Cement & Cement Products. Balance-sheet figures are from the latest filed balance sheet; trends show each financial year we hold.

What the numbers say
Short lines written by fixed rules from the company's own filings and shareholding. A line appears only when the figures cross the rule (for example sales growing three years running), and each names the numbers behind it. Nothing here is a view on whether to own the share.

Latest quarterIn the quarter to June 2026 (results filed 7 Aug 2026), sales rose 3.4% from a year earlier to Rs 943 cr and profit fell 24.7% to Rs 73.9 cr.

Going well
  • Sales grew 4 years running (Rs 2,222 cr in FY22 to Rs 3,776 cr in FY26).
  • Operating margin rose from 17.3% in FY23 to 24.8% in FY26.
  • Cash from operations was at least the reported profit in each of FY24, FY25, FY26.

Each line is written by a fixed rule from the company's own filings and share price, and names the figures it uses. It describes what happened; it is not advice about the share.

How the share moved on results
For each quarterly result we hold: the change from the share's close on the last trading day before the filing to its close on the first trading day after it. Results can land during market hours or after the close, and this window covers both. It shows what happened, not what will happen next time.

Over the last 20 results, the share rose on 12 and fell on 8, and moved by 3% or more on 9.

Q1 FY23Q1 FY24Q1 FY25Q1 FY26Q1 FY27

Q1 FY27: results filed 7 Aug 2026. The share went from its close on 6 Aug 2026 to its close on 10 Aug 2026 -2.16%.

Where every Rs 100 of sales goes
From the company's own yearly results. Each year is scaled to that year's sales, so you compare shares, not size: how much went on running costs, depreciation, interest and tax, and how much was left as profit.

Thin bar: money in (sales plus other income). Thick bar: where it went. Each year is scaled to its own sales, so the bars compare shares, not size.

How fast it has grown
Compound growth per year in sales, profit and earnings per share between financial years, from the company's own results. A span appears only if our filings cover both ends of it.

Per year, compounded, between financial years FY26 and the year named; only spans our filings cover. The faint bar is the latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share is not shown: filed figures are not adjusted for bonus issues and splits, so its growth would mislead.

Health check, year by year

Where the cash went
Profit is an accounting figure; cash flow is what actually moved. Cash from running the business, plus or minus what was spent on or received from investments, plus or minus what came from or went to lenders and shareholders, equals the change in cash.

In FY26 the business itself brought in Rs 765 Cr, spent Rs 493 Cr on plant and equipment, and cash fell by Rs 27 Cr over the year.

Against its sector
Where this stock sits within its own sector on each measure. The marker is its position in the peer group and the notch is the sector median. A position is a fact about the cohort, not a view on the stock.

Median rather than average, so one loss-making or one very expensive peer cannot drag the reference. Valuation is shown without a colour verdict: a higher multiple can mean expensive, or faster growth expected, and only you can decide which.
