SRF ke Q4 Results ne kiya kamaal!
SRF Limited ne Q4 FY26 mein zordaar performance dikhaya hai. Net Profit saal-dar-saal 11% badh kar ₹582 Crore tak pahunch gaya hai. Total income bhi ₹4,640 Crore par pahunchi hai. Ye numbers expectations se behtar nikle hain.
Odisha mein Mega Investment, Indore mein Break!
Company ne apne Odisha plant mein naye generation ke refrigerants ke liye investment double kar di hai. Ab wahan ₹2,300 Crore lagaye jayenge, jo pehle plans se kaafi zyada hai. Ye project February 2028 tak poora hone ka target hai. Isse lagta hai ki company fluorochemicals aur chemicals business par full focus kar rahi hai.
Magar, market ki changing conditions ko dekhte hue, company ne Indore mein ₹490 Crore ka BOPP film project indefinite time ke liye postpone kar diya hai. Matlab, abhi is project par koi kaam nahi hoga aur paise kahin aur lagaye jayenge.
Stock ka Performance aur Valuation ka Khel
Is announcement ke baad SRF ka stock ₹2,721 ke aas paas trade kar raha tha, aur volumes bhi average se kaafi upar the. Lekin, agar P/E ratio dekha jaaye toh yeh 40.8x se 51.1x ke beech hai. Ye number competitors jaise PI Industries ( 28.8x-34.3x ) se toh zyada hai, par Aarti Industries ( 42.96x-59.8x ) aur Deepak Nitrite ( 44.42x-117.18x ) ke aas paas hai. High P/E ka matlab hai ki investors ko future mein bahut growth ki umeed hai, khaas kar tab jab stock saal ki shuruaat se ab tak 11% aur pichle saal 7% gir chuka tha.
Sector mein Challenges bhi hain
Sab theek lagne ke bawajood, global chemical sector mein kuch challenges chal rahe hain. Economic uncertainty, energy costs ka badhna, aur naye regulations ki wajah se growth expectations moderate hain. India mein bhi specialty chemical sector mein competition badh raha hai aur global overcapacity ki wajah se margins par pressure aa raha hai. Indore project ka postpone hona bhi yehi dikhata hai ki company har segment mein risk nahi lena chahti.
Analysts kya bol rahe hain?
Motilal Oswal ne 'Buy' rating ko maintain rakha hai aur kaha hai ki operating performance expectations se achhi hai. Overall analyst consensus 'Outperform' ka hai, jismein average price target ₹3,427.14 diya gaya hai. Lekin, alag-alag analysts ke targets mein kaafi fark hai, ₹2,200 se lekar ₹3,843 tak. Kuch analysts ne valuation ko zyada batate hue price targets kam bhi kiye hain.
SRF ki strategy diverse portfolio par depend karti hai, lekin company ko cyclicality aur global competition ko manage karna hoga. Odisha expansion ka successful execution aur capital ka sahi use hi future mein returns dega.
