Projected Growth of Shivam Cements Limited
The projection of growth made by the company itself shows that the gross and net profit will steadily rise in the coming fiscal years. The net profit is projected to grow by 38 percent in 2076/77 to Rs. 185 crores. Likewise, in 2077/78, the profit will rise to Rs. 210 crores, a rise of 13.50 percent from the previous year. With the rise in net profit and constant capital, the earnings per share (EPS) is expected to rise to 30.37 and 42.08 in 2076/77 and 2077/78 respectively.
| Headings | 2075/76 | 2076/77 | 2077/78 |

| Reserve & Surplus (Rs.Arab) | 4.11 | 5.3 | 6.53 |

Past Dividend & Expected dividend of Shivam Cements Limited
Shivam Cements Ltd. has recently declared 15.7895 percent cash dividend from the profit of Rs. 2074/75. The declaration has matched the projected dividend. If we assume the projection to be met in the future, we can expect that the shareholders will receive only cash dividend till the F.Y. 2077/78. Since there is no increment in the projected capital in coming years, shareholders may not receive bonus shares.
| Fiscal Year | Actual cash dividend(%) | Fiscal Year | Projected Dividend (%) |
| 2072/73 | 10.53 | 2075/76 | 15 (declared) |
| 2073/74 | 10.53 | 2076/77 | 20 |
| 2074/75 | 15 | 2077/78 | 20 |
The company has provided a dividend to the shareholders consistently in last 4 years (including this year’s dividend). However, the projected cash dividend of 20 percent in the next 2 years gives a dividend yield of 6 percent. This is way below the returns achieved on fixed deposits or debentures. The fixed deposits on banks pay an annual interest rate of more than 9 percent. Likewise, the return from debentures issued by several banks is above 10 percent. For current income generation, purchasing Shivam Cements at the price of Rs. 333 per share may not be optimal. However, for growth investors, the share of Shivam Cements may appeal.
