Investing.com -- Bernstein analysts in a note dated Monday weigh in on the ongoing battle for dominance in the Indian cement industry, with a focus on potential acquisition targets.The note flags geographical synergy as a crucial factor for acquisitions. “We can see clear white-space where Ambuja does not have a presence, and which get complimented if it acquires players like Heidelberg/ Sagar/ KCP/ NCL / Deccan,” the analysts said.
Beyond geographical considerations, Bernstein suggests that financially stressed companies could be prime acquisition candidates. The note also emphasizes valuation as a significant factor. Bernstein suggests that companies trading below the estimated cost of setting up a new greenfield plant could be attractive options.Bernstein acknowledges the possibility of Heidelberg exiting the Indian market, citing their history of divesting cement assets globally. This could create additional acquisition opportunities for other players in the sector.
Bernstein also identifies potential risks including demand volatility, margin compression, and regulatory uncertainties.Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors.
