Riding the Cycle – Cement Industry

I was analyzing the cement industry and realized for the first time what cyclicality means in its true sense. This industry posed a lot of challenges, it chew my head, made me study harder, and finally gave me a better understanding! I would like to share some of that wisdom and experience with all of you.

  2. Good inference and very well written and will help the followers in analyzing the cement companies. One thing I would like to add here is that the cement industry is highly correlated with the performance of the construction sector which depends on the overall economic performance of a country. You must have noticed that cement companies don't perform during a downtrend. So before you go for any forecasting about a cement company, it is important to take into consideration the economic outlook of that country in next couple of years.
    Well, your blog is easy to read and very didactic. I look forward to seeing at least one blog from you everyday.

  3. Well analysed and written. However I would treat an export ban as inconsequential considering the sheer cost of transportation. Hence cement is a pure domestic play.

  4. Dear Puneet,

    Thanks. I agree that exports don't form a very major part of this industry. But the point I was making was that there is a regular interference of govt. from time to time.

    Regards,
