Stock to buy: Shares of UltraTech cement ended lower on Tuesday as the Aditya Birla Group company’s stock erased nearly all the gains it made following the launch of Ultravolt, its wire and cable brand.

The new wires and cables business is likely to contribute 6% of the company’s total revenue over next five years.

The company’s volume growth is likely to be led by strong distribution across both trade and non-trade segments and steady expansions. “We remain positive on UTCEM for its continued market share gain (despite being the market leader, by a wide margin) driven by its robust distribution and steady expansion. Additionally, UTCEM has been working on all fronts to sweat in margin expansion amid volatile fuel price scenario,” stated HDFC Securities in its report. UltraTech Cement aims to bring its wires and cable business, Ultravolt, to the second position in the industry over the years as it has earmarked ₹18 billion of capital outlay for a 3.5 mn KM capacity. “We estimate this segment to account for 2% of consolidated revenue and turn EBITDA positive in FY29E.
