Opportunities: Leading cement player in South India. Recently HNIs Damani has invested in the share at lower rate around INR 85-100 and currently continue to hold and as per market rumours it can be taken over by Damani also since promoter shareholding is too low although company has denied this rumours. Company is also holding premier IPL Team Chennai Super King.
Risk: Q1FY21 will be more down due to their subsidiary business Chennai Super King no IPL revenue since postponement of IPL on account of Covid – 19 mostly IPL revenue recorded in Q1. Further due to shut down also topline can further impact.
