Nuvoco Vistas Q1 Profit Surges, but Nomura Says 'Reduce'
Nuvoco Vistas, a cement company, had a good quarter, with profits higher than expected.
A brokerage firm, Nomura, thinks the company's stock price should be lowered, even though the company's profits did well.

Nuvoco also bought another cement company and reduced its debt.
The stock price has increased recently, but Nomura remains cautious about the stock.
Nomura maintained a 'Reduce' rating on Nuvoco Vistas with a target price of Rs 330.
Nuvoco reported an EBITDA of Rs 520 crore for Q1FY26, exceeding estimates.
The company's blended realization grew by 6% quarter-on-quarter, boosting EBITDA.
