25 March 2024: ACC's share price decline can be attributed to a combination of factors:
- Profit Decline: A major reason has been the significant drop in profits. ACC's net profit for the quarter ending March 2023 witnessed a 40% decline compared to the same period in the previous year. This was primarily due to rising input costs, particularly fuel, which squeezed margins.
- High Input Costs: The cement sector has been grappling with rising raw material costs since the Russia-Ukraine war. These elevated costs continue to pressure margins, impacting profitability and investor sentiment towards ACC.
- Adani Group Issues: Since ACC is part of the Adani Group, the conglomerate's controversies in mid-2023, including allegations by Hindenburg Research, might have caused a ripple effect and led to a decline in ACC's share price as well.
