Asal mein, Q4 mein Chambal Fertilisers ka consolidated net profit 29.8% saal-dar-saal badh kar ₹169.26 crore ho gaya. Revenue from operations bhi 13.7% badh kar ₹2,785.03 crore tak pahunch gaya.
Is zabardast performance ne pure saal FY26 ka net profit 18.4% badha kar ₹1,953.39 crore kar diya, jabki revenue lagbhag 25% badh kar ₹20,793.66 crore ho gaya. Isi baat se khush hokar, company ka stock 15 May ko 6% se zyada bhag kar ₹451.15 par pahunch gaya.
Aur pata hai kya? Yeh sab jab ho raha hai jab India poori duniya mein record 1.35 million metric tonnes diammonium phosphate (DAP) import kar raha hai. Yeh deal lagbhag $930-$935 per tonne (cost and freight) ki hai. Iska matlab hai ki duniya bhar mein DAP ki supply tight hai aur prices bhi badh sakti hain. Yeh domestic producers jaise Chambal ke liye achha ho sakta hai.
Ab valuation ki baat karein toh, Chambal Fertilisers ka P/E ratio filhaal 9.4 ke aas-paas hai. Yeh Coromandel International (P/E ~27-28) aur PI Industries (P/E ~31-32) jaise competitors se kaafi kam hai. Iska RSI bhi 56-62 ke beech mein hai, matlab neutral se buy signal de raha hai. Toh basically, company apne competitors ke muqable sasti lag rahi hai.
Lekin bhai, pura Indian fertilizer sector kuch challenges face kar raha hai. FY26 mein domestic fertilizer production 0.1% kam ho gaya, jo 13 saal mein sabse slow growth hai. Iska reason LNG ki kami aur plant maintenance hai. India toh waise bhi DAP aur potash jaise fertilizers ke liye imports par bahut depend karta hai. Yeh jo record DAP import ho raha hai woh dikhata hai ki global supply kitni tight hai.
Risks ki baat karein toh, yeh sector regulated hai aur import par depend karta hai. Global prices aur supply chain mein koi bhi gadbad company ko affect kar sakti hai. Jaise ki record DAP import ka situation. Domestic production mein jo kami aayi hai woh bhi ek concern hai. Company ka stock pichhle saal ke ₹538 se gir kar ab ₹451 ke aas-paas hai, toh investors ko shayad performance ko lekar kuch chinta hai. Ek aur cheez jo dhyan dene wali hai, woh hai debtor days ka badhna, jo 16.1 se 36.4 days ho gaya hai.
Fir bhi, analysts ka outlook generally positive hai. Unka consensus 'Strong Buy' rating de raha hai aur price target ₹560 se ₹610 ke beech mein hai. Kuch analysts ne apna fair value estimate ₹568 ke aas-paas kiya hai. Company bhi regulated urea se hat kar non-urea fertilizers, crop protection aur specialty nutrients mein diversify kar rahi hai. Aage chal kar company kaise global supply chain ko manage karti hai, input costs ko control mein rakhti hai aur government ki policies ka fayda uthati hai, woh dekhna hoga.
