Steppe Cement Ltd (LSE:STCM) has reported a 21% year-on-year revenue increase for Q3 2025, supported by higher sales volumes and price gains in local currency. Although domestic cement demand has risen, competitive pressures and higher transportation costs have kept producer prices stable. To enhance financial flexibility, the company plans to restructure an inter-company loan into a publicly listed bond, providing additional capacity for future growth projects. In a further positive development, Steppe Cement resolved a tax dispute with Kazakh authorities in its favor, strengthening its operational position.
Steppe Cement’s outlook benefits from solid technical indicators and healthy cash flow generation. However, valuation concerns remain, with a high P/E ratio and margin pressures weighing on overall performance. A strong dividend yield helps balance some of these headwinds.
