US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.

Improving Indian Economic Condition
Cement industry is highly correlated to economic scenario as cement demand is largely
depended upon housing segment and growing industrial and infrastructure sector. Indian
cement industry volumes grow 1‐1.2x India’s GDP. After registering an average growth rate
of 8% during FY08-FY12, Indian economic growth had slowed down to below 5% (with 2004-
05 base year) during the past two financial years. Prevailing high interest rate, stubborn
inflation, low investments and slow execution of infrastructure projects were the leading
factors, impacted country’s economy growth. However, Indian economy has shown signs of
nascent recovery and grew by 5.5% during the first half (April-September) of FY15 as
compared to 4.9% in the same period in FY14. Besides, key macro-economic indicators
such as inflation, industrial production, CAD and infrastructure activity are also reviving,
putting positive influence on economic growth. Industrial production during April-December
FY15 grew by 2.1% as against 0.1% in the April-December FY14, indicating that the
economy is far better position now from previous fiscal. Indian economic growth is likely to
improve to 5.5% in FY15 and further enhanced to 6-7% in FY16 and FY17. Improved
consumers sentiments, the renewed policy thrust by new government and a pickup in
consumer demand are likely to provide impetus to economic growth in coming future. We
expect 8% growth for Indian economy during the stable growth period. With the gradually
growing Indian economy, per capita income of people in India has been growing at a pace of
CAGR of 10% over the eight years. Household income in the top 20 boom cities in India is
expected to grow at around 10% annually over the next ten years, which is likely to increase
cement demand.

Indian cement industry has evolved significantly over the last two decades and today the sector is
aptly described as the next sun rise sector to Indian economy. The Indian cement Industry is very
large, second only to China in terms of installed capacity at around 380 Million Tonnes (MT) per
annum, and has grown at a brisk pace in recent years on back of rising infrastructure activities,
increasing demand from housing sector and industries. India is the second largest producer of
cement and housing sector is the biggest demand driver of industry, accounting for about 65% of
the total country’s consumption. Infrastructure and commercial real estate & industrial sector
constitute 20% and 15% share in total domestic cement demand. Indian cement industry is highly
organized with top 12 cement firms have around 70% share in the total country’s demand.
However, India’s per capita consumption of cement still remains substantially lower at 195 kg
when compared with the world average at 520 kg, showing strong growth potential in the domestic
market. Over the past two fiscals, cement demand in India remained sluggish due to the economic
recession, forcing the manufactures to operate at low capacity at around 72%. Amid expectation
of strong growth in future, industry added 65 MTPA cement capacities between
FY11-FY14, as against 92 MTPA in FY08-FY11.

Revival in Economic Growth to provide Impetus to Sector
The cement demand scenario in India has improved significantly in current fiscal driven by
reviving economic condition. The growth in cement production picked up to 7.9% during first nine
months of FY15 as against 3.7% in the corresponding period last fiscal and 3.0% in FY14. The
outlook looks very much promising for domestic cement industry given the huge untapped
housing demand and increasing infrastructure development in the country. Cement consumption
is expected to improve to 6.1% in FY15E from 2.5% in FY14. With the expectation of 8.5-9%
growth in coming years, all-India cement capacity utilization is likely to improve to around 80% by
FY17.
Furthermore, industry players are presently also benefiting from easing of cost side pressures.
Power & fuel and freight costs are the major costs for industry with a share of 28% and 29% in the
operating cost structure. Global coal and diesel prices have declined by around 20-25% during the
past twelve months which is expected to reduce the power & fuel and freight costs for cement
companies.
Financial Forecasts and Projections (UltraTech Cement)
We expect net sales of the company to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% between FY14-FY19E mainly
led by volume improvement on the back growing economy. Cement volumes are expected to
grow by a CAGR of 9% to 63.75 MT in FY19E from 41.13 MT in FY14.
EBIDTA margin is expected to improve to around 20% in next three forecasted years and further
rise to 22% by FY19, given the company ongoing initiatives to control the operating expenditures
mainly fuel and freight costs.
We expect net profits to grow at a CAGR of 18% between FY14-FY19E as we believe that growth
going forward is likely to be led by volume as well as strong pricing improvement in FY18E and
FY19E.

Sales Volume likely to witness Firm Recovery in Future
In line with the industry trend, sales growth of the UltraTech cement was remained sluggish over
the past two fiscal owing to the prevailing economic slowdown. Indian economy’s growth declined
to a decade low at 4.5% in FY13 and 4.7% during FY14 (with 2004-04 base year). Sluggish
infrastructure development in the country as well as subdued demand for India’s housing sector
owing to the prevailing high interest rates as well as high inflation are the leading factors
responsible for the declining domestic cement consumption. During the FY14, sales growth has
remained flat at Rs 20,279 crore, while net profit declined by 19% YoY to Rs.2144 crore due to the
high operating expenditure amid low demand.
However, the situation is improving and the recent quarter (Q3FY15) financial result indicated
strong growth in volume. UltraTech sales volume grew by 16% to Rs.5601.4 crore in Q3FY15 from
Rs.4818 crore in the same quarter of previous fiscal. Despite showing strong performance in sales
volume, net profit of the company declined marginally by 1.5% due to the high finance cost rose
70% to Rs.153.9 crore from a year ago. Though EBIDTA margin during the reported quarter was
rose to 20% YoY driven by high sales volume. Improving fundamentals of Indian economy are
providing impetus to domestic demand. During the 9MFY15, sales volume increased by 17% to
Rs.16722.8 crore from Rs.14319.9 crore in 9MFY14. We expect a strong recovery in sales volume
at CAGR of 14.9% to Rs.40576.9 crore in FY19E from Rs.20279.8 crore recorded in FY14.

Cost Analysis
Among total operating expenditure, power and fuel and freight are the two major expenditure of
the company with a share of around 25% and 27% in the total company expenditure. UltraTech’s
continued focus on controlling cost and optimization of fuel mix helped in curtailing cost to some
extent. Power and fuel cost eased by around 6% YoY to Rs.1005 per sales tonne during FY14.
Ongoing focus on improving efficiencies in consumption, increasing usage of pet coke and
alternative fuel and softening in imported coal prices helped the company to lower energy cost.
However, the saving in energy cost was offset by the soaring fright cost. The company reported
freight and forwarding cost at Rs.4580 crore in FY14 which was around 8.45% higher on annual
basis. Furthermore, during the first nine month of this fiscal, freight and forwarding cost increased
by 22% to Rs.3939.5 crore as compared to Rs.3215.3 crore during the same period of
corresponding fiscal. Freight cost is likely to increase at a CAGR of 12.4% during FY14-FY19E.
On the other hand, power and fuel cost is expected to remain Rs.1100-1200 per tonne during
FY14-FY17E. EBIDTA margin of the company, which declined to 18.8% in FY14, is expected to
improve to above 20% in next five year mainly driven by high revenue growth as well as company
continued policy for cost control and optimization of fuel.

Realization to pick up led by Improving Demand
Amid expectation of strong growth in future arising out of the thrust given for infrastructure
development in the country by the government, industry witnessed Rs.50,000 crore rapid
expansions during 2007-2014 to nearly double cement capacity from 180 MT, fastest in domestic
sectors history. As against the CAGR of around 12% witnessing during FY08-FY14, Indian cement
consumption grew by CAGR of about 8-9%, forcing the manufactures to operate at low capacity.
On the other hand, cement prices continued to remain under pressure owing to the weak demand,
impacting margins of the industry players. In line with the industry, UltraTech capacity utilization
declined below 70% in FY14 and realization per tonne also remained sluggish due to the
prevailing low cement prices in the market driven by subdued demand and over-capacity.
However, an improvement in realization is expected on the back of recovery witnessing in the
domestic economy leading to rise in Indian cement consumption. Realisation per tonne is
expected to improve to Rs.5,150/tonne in by FY16E and Rs.5,408/tonne in FY17E. Installed
capacity is likely to increase to 71 MT by FY16E and capacity utilization is projected to remain at
80-85 MT in the next five years.

UltraTech’s Net Profit to Improve during Projected Period
During the FY14, net profit declined to Rs.2,144 crore which was 19% lower than the previous
year profit. In spite of sluggish revenue due to economic recession, high operating cost also put
pressure on the margin. With the recovery in economic situation, the financial condition of
company has improved and during first three quarter of FY15, PAT grew significantly by 7.2% to
Rs.1399 crore. Company’s PAT is expected to increase to Rs.3226.1 crore in FY17E and further
enhance to Rs.4903.5 crore in FY19E. Accordingly, Return on Equity (ROE) is likely to improve

Low Debt/Equity to fuel Capital Expansion
UltraTech cement has strong balance sheet with minimal debt (D/E of 0.3:1) as compared to other
industry players. Though company D/E ratio is likely to increase to 0.44 in FY15E due to the debt
financing required for acquisition of Jaiprakash Associate plant located in Madhya Pradesh, this
expansion plan will not put any stress to the balance sheet and in turn will further strengthen the
company’s position in the industry.
Furthermore, the company has made a strategy to maintain highest credit rating for both long- and
short-term debt which in turn is helping firm to attract the best proposals from lending agencies at
fine pricing levels.

Growth Strategies
Considering that freight cost accounting for around 28% of the total expenditure, UltraTech has
been taking certain initiatives to control logistic cost. As cement is extremely bulky commodity, the
firm is investing optimum mix of rail, road and sea transportation, which will lead to the quick
dispatch of material from the plants, as well as better customer service and lowered freight cost.
Furthermore, the company is also investing to enhance power capacity, which stands at around
709 mega watt and caters to around 80% of Company’s power requirement. Continued initiatives
for cost optimization are likely to improve EBIDTA margins in coming years.
UltraTech focus on creation on new capacities through organic and inorganic growth. Despite the
slowdown in the cement industry, UltraTech acquired the 4.8 mtpa Gujarat Cement Unit of Jaypee
Cement, moreover, company organic capacity expansion plans are also on track to cater well the
increasing demand from the housing and infrastructure sectors.
Acquisition of JP Associates' MP plant to enhance UltraTech Market presence
UltraTech Cement planned to acquire Jaiprakash Associates' two cement units and associated
power plants in Madhya Pradesh for Rs.5,400 crore. Among these units, one plant is situated at
Bela, Madhya Pradesh with clinker capacity of 2.1 MTPA and cement grinding capacity of 2.6
MTPA along with captive power plant (CPP) of 25 MW. Other integrated cement plant include
clinker capacity of 3.1 MTPA and cement grinding capacity of 2.3 MTPA at Sidhi, MP along with
CPP capacity of 155 MW. This acquisition deal will provide impetus to growth as UltraTech does
not have a significant presence in eastern side of MP, while these are well established assets with
good market share.
Outlook
We believe that likely revival in economic growth, India’s low per capita consumption of cement,
increasing urbanization and reviving growth in infrastructure and industrial sectors will continue to
act as the driving forces behind the rise in demand of cement. To value the UltraTech stock, we
conducted fundamental analysis using the Economy-Industry-Company (E-I-C) framework and
used the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) as well as Relative Valuation (RV) methods. On the basis
of DCF and RV, we arrived at Potential Price Range of Rs.3400-Rs.3550 for a period of 12
months. With the double digit potential upside, we have a ‘BUY’ recommendation on the stock.

Key Risk
Economic Uncertainties:
Demand of cement in India is cyclical and barring short term disruptions it grows entirely in
tandem with economic growth. UltraTech Cement demand is mainly derived from the domestic
housing real estate and infrastructure sectors, which are closely linked to overall economy’s
growth. Though, Indian economy growth is reviving, prevailing high interest rates in order to
contain the inflation can impact the housing sector’s demand and infrastructure development.
Excess Cement Capacity in Industry to Put Pressure on Realization:
Currently, India’s cement production capacity stands at around 380 MT, which is over 100 MT
higher than around 262 MT cement demand. The industry had created the capacity on the back of
government's projection of potential cement demand arising out of the thrust given for
infrastructure development in the country and the allocation of funds earmarked for the purpose.
Though, the demand of cement is likely to improve in coming years, the surge in cement price
would be marginal in next two fiscal as one fourth of the industry’s capacity is presently remain
unutilized.
Rising Cost of Manufacturing:
EBIDTA margin of the company declined to 18% in FY14 from around average 23% EBIDTA
margin recorded in previous few fiscal on account of high raw material and freight expenditures.
Therefore, managing these costs at appropriate level could a challenge for management going
forward.
Growing Presence of Regional Players:
The presence of small players has been growing across some region of the country. Most of these
cement players have been constantly increasing their installed capacity in order to cater to
increasing cement demand. Besides this, they are also creating fierce or irrational competition in
regional markets that leads to unfavorable pricing also would compromise UltraTech Cement’s
profitability.
Government Regulations:
Cement industry is a freight intensive sector and transporting cement and coal over long
distances can prove to be expensive for industry players. Therefore, the Government decision to
hike the rail freight rate can put pressure on industry margins.
