Relative performance chartRead through: Nuvoco’s higher realizations signal upside risk to sector estimates

Nuvoco’s reported cement realizations came in 7% higher q-q, 4% above our estimate.

Our trade channel checks suggest a 3% q-q increase in prices; however, management

highlighted a more significant uptick in non-trade realizations for 1QFY27. While non-trade

volumes account for roughly 30% of the industry mix, the magnitude of the non-trade

pricing improvement (INR20/bag in the Eastern region) suggests overall sector

realizations may have been meaningfully stronger than our previous estimate. Against this

backdrop, we see upside risk to earnings for companies, in particular those concentrated

in the Eastern region.
