Shree Cement, the third-largest cement company in India, posted better-than-expected numbers for the second quarter ended September with both revenue and profit coming ahead of what analysts had forecast.

The company’s standalone net profit rose 6% to Rs 577 crore from Rs 547.25 crore a year earlier. However, profit declined 12.8% from Rs 662 crore in the first quarter through June.

Net sales rose 5% to Rs 3,206 crore year-on-year, though it declined from Rs 3,450 crore in the first quarter.

The second quarter is typically a low-demand quarter due to the monsoon season in much of the country that affects construction activity.

Analysts had expected revenue to come in the region of Rs 3,100-3,200 crore while net profit was projected to be around Rs 500 crore.

The company’s EBITDA also came ahead of expectations despite the impact of higher fuel cost.

Power and fuel costs rose 29% to Rs 628 crore from Rs 486 crore a year earlier while raw material costs moved up around 7% in the same period. This was much higher than what UltraTech experienced last quarter and marginally ahead of ACC in the same period.

Earlier this month, UltraTech had said its cost structure saw a spike as coal and pet coke prices nearly doubled in the quarter resulting in energy costs shooting up 17% year-on-year. Ultratech’s consolidated net profit was almost flat at Rs 1,313 crore year-on-year and declined 22.8% sequentially due to the impact of higher fuel and logistics costs during the quarter.

Shree Cement’s share price rose 1.66% to end the day at 28,659.4 apiece in a weak Mumbai market on Friday. The shares are up almost 38% from their one-year low.

The company also said that it had raised Rs 2,383 crore through a qualified institutional placement two years ago and has used a little over a third of the amount as of September 30, 2021.

The weekly RSI has given bearish crossover and it is in falling mode. The next support for the index is placed at the 50-day EMA level, which is currently placed at the 17547.50 level.

Here are the top trading set-ups to watch out for Monday.

Ujjivan Financial Services: Considering the daily chart, the stock has given a 32-days consolidation breakout. This breakout was accompanied by a robust volume. The 50-days average volume was 15.88 lakh while today the stock has registered a total volume of 1.11 crore. Along with this consolidation breakout, the stock has also managed to close above its 20-day EMA and 50-day EMA. The 20 and 50-day EMA has started edging higher. The 100-day EMA has started losing its downward slope and started to flatten out. This portrays an encouraging picture.

The momentum indicators and oscillators are also supporting the overall bullish picture. The leading indicator, 14-period daily RSI has taken support near the 40 zone and surged above the 60 mark. This indicates a bullish range shift as per the RSI range shift rules. The weekly RSI has also given positive crossover and it is in rising mode.

Going ahead, in case the stock has sustains above the 100-day EMA level, then we may witness a sharp upside. The 200-day EMA will act as resistance for the stock, which is currently placed at Rs 200.90 level. On the downside, the 50-day EMA level will act as immediate support for the stock.

InterGlobe Aviation: The stock has formed a Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern as of September 22, 2021, and thereafter witnessed correction. On Friday, in the first 15-minutes, the stock has corrected sharply. During this correction, the stock has taken support near the prior breakout level and it coincides with the 100-day EMA level. From the days low, the stock has gained 17.57%. The price action has formed a sizeable bullish candle with a long lower shadow. The long lower shadow indicates buying interest at lower levels. The reversal from the support is confirmed by the above 50-day average volumes.

The stock has also surged above its 20-day EMA level. The 20-day EMA is in a rising trajectory. The leading indicator, 14-period daily RSI surged above the 60 mark for the first time after 22 trading sessions. The MACD histogram is suggesting a pickup in upside momentum. Moreover, a positive divergence is clearly visible between the daily RSI, daily stochastic and the stock price movement, which suggests a limited downside. Positive divergence occurs when the price is making a lower low, while the indicator forms a higher low.

Considering the robust technical structure of the stock we believe it is likely to touch new highs. On the upside, the prior swing high of Rs 2307 will act as resistance for the stock. While on the downside, the 50-day EMA will act as support for the stock. The 50-day EMA is currently placed at Rs 1969.30 level.
