Fundamental Analysis – Dalmia Bharat Ltd.
Dalmia Bharat operates ~47 MTPA cement capacity (3rd largest in India), with TTM revenue ₹14,325 Cr (+4.84% YoY), EBITDA ₹3,130 Cr (+13.78% YoY), net profit ₹1,125 Cr (+17.31% YoY) and EPS ₹59.19; trades at ~278x TTM P/E, 4.68x P/B and ₹36,474 Cr market cap. Q2 FY26 revenue ₹3,417 Cr (+10.2% YoY, -5.5% QoQ), net profit down 39.5% QoQ but +387.8% YoY to ₹239 Cr, reflecting pricing weakness offset by volume/cost control; FY25 sales volumes stable despite sector headwinds. Growth drivers include ₹6,800 Cr capex for 12 MTPA South/West expansion (balance sheet supports), infra/housing demand tailwinds and consolidation plays; risks from fuel costs/pricing discipline persist.
Today’s Strong Buying Movement Reason
After continuous decline, heavy buying in DALBHARAT triggered from technical oversold bounce: STOCHRSI/Williams %R extremes sparked short-covering when price rebounded from ₹1945 pivot, supported by MACD Buy crossover and 10 MAs bullish alignment. Sector rotation in cement (infra push + GST cut hopes) and Q2 results digestion post initial weakness restored confidence; low delivery volume (~₹56k) suggests positional flows amid broader Nifty recovery, with ATR contraction signaling bottoming.
Recent/Upcoming Events & Impact
Q2 FY26 Results (Recent): Revenue +10.2% YoY but profit volatile; management confident on demand traction/pricing recovery for Q3+ (neutral short-term, positive if volumes beat).
Capex Execution: ₹6,800 Cr for 12 MTPA new capacity South/West (2025 online); enhances Pan-India presence, est. 15-20% volume CAGR but capex dilution risk near-term.
Q3 FY26 Earnings (~Jan 28, 2026): Projected release; consensus eyes volume recovery + cost leverage for PAT beat, potential 10-15% upside catalyst if infra spend accelerates.
Positives vs Negatives
Positives:
Capacity expansion (12 MTPA/₹6,800 Cr capex) positions for 15%+ volume growth amid infra/housing boom.
Strong EBITDA growth (13.78% YoY), TTM net profit +17% and healthy balance sheet for execution.
3rd largest Indian cement player with Pan-India diversification reducing regional risks.
Technical base forming with oversold oscillators/MACD Buy signaling rebound potential.
Negatives/Risks:
Elevated valuation (~278x P/E) vulnerable to earnings misses/pricing weakness.
Q2 profit volatility (-39% QoQ) from cement price softness; fuel cost spikes threat.
High capex raises debt/execution risks if demand slows.
Short-term MAs mixed with STOCHRSI Sell; resistance at ₹2280 cluster.
