UltraTech Cement Stock Dips Amid Expansion into Wires and Cables Business
UltraTech Cement's stock showed a recent downturn with last traded prices around 11,000 INR and a price-to-earnings ratio near 38. Despite short-term declines, HDFC Securities projects a 25-27% upside, citing the company's expansion into the wires and cables sector through its Ultravolt brand. This new business is expected to contribute up to 6% of consolidated revenue by 2031 and improve margins amid volatile fuel prices. The company's strong distribution network and steady volume growth support a positive medium-term outlook.
