Chemicals

Hold

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.

  • Latest quarter profit grew 139.9% YoY, showing strong momentum
  • Company has a consistent dividend-paying track record
  • Company generates healthy free cash flow

CONS

  • Company is loss-making at the operating / net level
  • A large part of profit comes from other income (562.9% of PBT)
  • Receivables are growing faster than sales - a possible quality concern
  • Company has a low return on capital employed of -0.9%
  • Company has a low return on equity of -1.7% over last 3 years
  • Poor cash conversion - profits are not backed by operating cash flow (CFO/PAT -2.81x)
