Monsoon is a cyclical headwind, but infra push and M&A are bigger tailwinds for long term investors: 5 cement stocks with upside potential of up to 44%
Cement is a sector which has probably seen maximum mergers and acquisition in the last three years. Right from the second biggest player witnessing a change in ownership, to small players being taken over. With the monsoon coming, there is always a cyclical pressure on cement stocks, with the narrative being that in monsoon construction activity slows down. Even this week it played on the street, with cement stock witnessing a decline. But the question is whether this correction in stock price gives an opportunity to investors to get into a sector which is witnessing a fundamental shift in terms of how the demand curve pans out. Probably the answer is tilted toward yes for at least some players.
