Outlook
We have revised our FY26E/FY27E EPS estimates by -23.1%/-21.4% respectively, factoring in a more gradual recovery in realizations and margins. Although sequential margin expansion offers initial comfort, sustained pricing stability and a visible uptick in end-market demand remain key near-term triggers. We value Balaji Amines at 20.0x FY27E EPS, implying a target price of INR 1,612. We reiterate our “ACCUMULATE” rating on the stock.
