Brokerage views on Clean Science & Technology: JM Financial
According to analysts at JM Financial, Clean Science's Q1 Ebitda was in line with their estimates. "We expect the subsidiary to start contributing positively from Q3FY26, driven by the ramp-up of value-added HALS grades. Besides HALS, the company's two new performance chemical capacities are on track to be commercialised, with one set to see commercial production in September 2025 and the other in Q4FY26, the brokerage said in a note.
The brokerage has maintained a 'Buy' with a revised September 2026 TP of ₹1,780 per share (from ₹1,820 earlier), based on 40x Sep'27E EPS.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL)
"While the non-established products face demand softness, we expect the established products, which contribute to 83 per cent of standalone sales, to continue to deliver steady growth, coupled with the commissioning of Performance Chemical 1 in Q2FY26 and Performance Chemical 2 by Q4FY26, are expected to be an additional revenue driver," the brokerage said.
MOFSL has lowered its estimates for FY26/FY27 cuts by 9 per cent each, owing to higher tax rates and expects a revenue/ Ebitda/ PAT CAGR of 23/23/27 per cent during FY25-27E. The brokerage has maintained a 'Neutral' rating with a target price of ₹1,350.

Dalal Street disaster: Rs 12 lakh crore wiped out in three days as bears take over
Equity market investors lost nearly Rs 12 lakh crore over the past three trading sessions as Dalal Street succumbed to intense bearish pressure. Weak Q1FY26 earnings and delays in the India-US trade deal have dampened investor sentiment, triggering a sharp sell-off. The benchmark BSE Sensex plunged 1,836 points (2.2%), while the NSE Nifty50 dropped 2.1% during this period. The sentiments have further been weighed down by TCS's announcement of 12,000 job cuts and a relentless selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Data for this month, up to 25th July, shows a net FII sell figure of Rs 20,262 crores. On Monday, they offloaded (net sales) shares worth Rs 5,876.76 crore. 'Markets are currently grappling with headwinds on both domestic and global fronts. On the domestic side, earnings disappointments and persistent foreign fund outflows are dampening sentiment,' said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking. Mishra added that in the banking space, earlier resilience had helped limit the decline but renewed pressure across the sector—except for heavyweights ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank—is adding to participants' concerns. Banking stocks came under severe pressure on Monday after Kotak Mahindra Bank plunged over 7% to close at Rs 1,966 following weak Q1 results. Other lenders, including IndusInd Bank, PNB, SBI, and Bank of Baroda, declined 1–3%. Mishra added that globally, uncertainty surrounding trade deals, despite strength in the US markets, is contributing to the cautious approach. Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, said that in contrast to domestic market performance, global markets remain broadly positive, supported by US-EU trade developments that are perceived as less concerning than anticipated.
