What ACC does

Indian cement manufacturer, part of the Adani Group after Adani bought it (with Ambuja Cements) from Holcim in 2022.

Sells cement mostly through dealers to individual home builders, with the rest to contractors. As a subsidiary of Ambuja Cements, which Adani controls, it shares plants, logistics and power purchasing with that group to cut costs. Cement prices vary by region and fuel is a big cost.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
