Here is what brokerages have to say about the stock and the company after the June quarter earnings:
Macquarie | Rating: Outperform | Target: Rs 8,542

JPMorgan | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 6,890
The broking house remains neutral on the stock as the cost pressures are building up despite Q1 beat. The H2 needs large hikes for a positive surprise.
CLSA | Rating: Outperform | Target: Raised to Rs 8,000 from Rs 7,735
CLSA kept outperform rating on the stock as the Q1 EBITDA of 15 percent was above estimate but cost inflation will impact earnings.
The EBITDA/tonne increased 17 percent QoQ, which was above our estimate on lower costs.
CLSA expects profitability to taper down but the company is likely to turn net cash positive by FY24. Risk-reward seems fair at current valuation.
Prabhudas Lilladher | Rating: Buy | Target: Rs 8,600
The company reported a strong set of Q4FY21 earnings with a 12 percent beat on our/consensus EBITDA estimates. Led by higher realisations and better control on freight cost, we increase our EBITDA/EPS estimates for FY22e and FY23e by 8.3 percent/12.8 percent and 7.0 percent /9.9 percent.
Led by its dominant size (22 percent market share) and highly efficient operations, we believe that UltraTech stands out as the best candidate to play the sector.
Sharekhan | Rating: Buy | Target: Rs 8,800
UltraTech has been able to report strong volume growth which has been driven organically and in the wake of the COVID impact. The healthy pricing discipline and contained input costs have been improving its operational profitability, which is expected to improve going ahead.
Barring the near-term impact of the second wave of Covid, it has been one of the key beneficiaries of strong rural demand, pick up in urban real estate and large government infrastructure projects.
Motilal Oswal | Rating: Buy | Target: Rs 8,770
We estimate a 15 percent/26 percent CAGR in consolidated EBITDA/PAT over FY21–23E, driven by a 13 percent volume CAGR, better realisations, lower operating costs and lower interest costs.
At 0917 hours, UltraTech Cement was quoting at Rs 7,554.90, up Rs 95.05, or 1.27 percent on the BSE.
