The company has come up with decent results on the margins front, however, sales volumes were lower YoY due to cyclone & flood in the quarter coupled with raw material availability issues.
Performance is as per my expectations & my biggest concern ( whether the company will be able to sustain its higher OPM in the current scenario) has eased up a little.
With that being said, Small cap investing is not for weak heartsđ Price volatility is extremely hugh & one Quarter results can easily move yoru stock by 20-50% on either side. Thats why building your own conviction is the key for holding & getting the benefits of compounding in these businesses.

Dhruv, I think youâre right about chemicals. Itâs a make or break sector. As someone previously commented, the market will not give a higher PE as things stand. The debottlenecking helped capacity and margins but I donât see long term speculative value.
So itâs basically an old school bet (not a new age bet, as I thought earlier), on earnings. What do you think?
I on the contrary believe that it was earlier a cheap valuation play but now given the aggression being shown by the young promoter, growth levers are pretty decent in this company which can play out well in the long run. But again, I am also building a thesis & getting more confidence every quarter.
What promoter action are you betting into? I saw basic capex in the books.
Please check their capacity expansions from FY19 onwards, the expansion has been really fast & met by equally good capacity utilization. Currently, they are venturing in other compounds as well which might be big going forward compared to the current scale. Companyâs credit ratings reports have provided very good insights regarding the same

Hey, any Update on this Stock.
It seems they are able to sustain double digit operating margins from Marâ21 (QoQ and YoY). The market rewarded this stock for some time with sustained growth in sales. The debt to equity ratio looks very health and even the re-investment rate is 11% of their operating income. Looks like they are able to fuel there capex requirements adequately from the income as of now.
