Strong cost control QoQ offset impact of lower volume YoY Orient Cement (ORCMNT) posted flattish EBITDA YoY in Q4FY18, as increased competition drove volume decline YoY, and aggressive pricing led to weak NSR QoQ. Lower opex QoQ moderated YoY cost inflation. The JPA's assets acquisition is getting delayed owing to pending approvals. We remain wary of this inorganic acquisition which will keep leverage high, and return ratios subdued. We maintain HOLD with TP of Rs150. Volume declined 3% YoY, market share loss continues: Sales volume recovered 23% QoQ to 1.68mn MT, but still fell 3% YoY. Utilisation stood at 84% (vs 87% YoY and 69% QoQ)....
