What's next for investors?
Shree cement is fundamentally strong company and it is managing its business very well. The risk factor associated with energy and water crisis remains a challenge and we need to see how company is coping up.
With demand of cement increasing, the company should have good business opportunities. At current price, it seems a bit over-priced. At any correction, investors should plan to enter for very long term growth.
