Goldman Sachs Says,

We think rally in air conditioner stocks may be short-lived

See 3 concerns on the horizon for air-conditioner focused companies: Channel inventory is higher than normal; large part of primary sales during the festive season will be muted

GST rate cut might result in 7-8% price reduction, but BEE energy norm will increase prices by 7-10% effect from Jan 1, 2026

Competitive intensity has increased with more brands having set up manufacturing capacities

Think pricing power has shrunk

Valuations leave little room for negative surprises

DAM Capital on Cement

Cement GST cut: Noise or substance?

Govt. may slash GST 28%→18%. Stocks jumped 3–5%, but demand is largely inelastic.

Cement = ~12–14% of house cost → only ~1–1.5% overall saving.

Sentiment +ve, but earnings unchanged unless cut extends to all materials.
