AI GENERATEDChemicals
The available domestic chemical proxies are mixed to weak. Fertilizers output was -8.0% YoY (2026-07) and sale quantity of fertilisers was 0.0% YoY (2026-05), although that high-frequency barometer is stale. FPI positioning is less negative than before, with net 3-month outflow only INR -11 crore versus INR -1229 crore in the prior 3 months to 2026-08-31, but the weak sector driver argues for a neutral stance.
PROS

- Company has a low return on equity of 9.5% over last 3 years
- Free cash flow has been persistently negative
- Operating margins have contracted to 4.8% from 10.2%
