SRF shares dip over 2% as Citi maintains ‘Sell' rating with target price of Rs 2,725
While SRF's Q1 results surprised positively on the operating front—beating EBITDA estimates by 11%—Citi remains cautious. The brokerage pointed to underlying concerns in the company's revenue trajectory and future growth outlook, particularly in the specialty chemicals segment.
Despite a 10% year-on-year growth, Q1 revenue declined 12% sequentially, signaling near-term softness. Citi highlighted that this trend may continue, citing risks such as pricing pressure from China and delays in commercialising key products, which could weigh on future earnings.
Citi also flagged concerns over margin sustainability, warning that investor sentiment could stay muted until there is more visibility on a rebound in SRF's specialty chemical pipeline—an area closely watched for long-term growth.

Sudarshan Chemical shares surge 6% as Q1 revenue jumps 76.6% YoY to Rs 1,349 crore
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 10:16 IST Shares of Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd soared over 6% in Monday's trade after the company posted strong Q1 FY26 earnings. The stock touched a new 52-week high of ₹1,334.70 on the BSE, marking a sharp rise from the previous close of ₹1,250.20. In its consolidated results for the June 2025 quarter, Sudarshan Chemical reported a remarkable 76.6% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue, which stood at ₹1,349 crore compared to ₹764 crore in the same quarter last year. The company's EBITDA also rose 6.6% to ₹127 crore from ₹119 crore YoY. However, the EBITDA margin narrowed to 9.4%, down from 15.6% in Q1 FY25, indicating some pressure on operational efficiency. Despite the impressive revenue growth, net profit took a major hit. The company reported a net profit of just ₹0.3 crore, a sharp decline from ₹58 crore in the year-ago period. The stock opened at ₹1,260 and hit an intraday low of ₹1,253. With this rally, Sudarshan Chemical's stock has gained significantly from its 52-week low of ₹796.15.
