At a Glance
Shree Cement just slapped the market with a 95% YoY PAT surge to ₹644 Cr in Q1 FY26, backed by a 34% EBITDA jump. Revenue grew modestly to ₹5,281 Cr (+3% YoY), but margins at 25% OPM show why they’re the low-cost king. Yet, with a P/E of 98x, investors need a stomach of steel to digest this valuation.
Introduction
When it comes to cement, Shree Cement doesn’t just build houses – it builds investor hype.

But the stock trades at a Himalayan altitude with 5.1x book value, making it a “premium cement” not just for construction, but for your portfolio too.
