The Sensex closed 53 points, or 0.06 per cent, lower at 82,391.72, while the Nifty 50 ended 1 point up at 25,104.25. Trade Brains Portal has picked two stocks from the fertilizers & agrochemicals sector. Stocks to trade today, recommended by Trade Brains Portal for 9 June: PI Industries Ltd In FY25, PI Industries reported a revenue of ₹7,978 crore, a 4% increase YoY, and PAT stood at ₹1,660 crore. Its Inventory levels have been reduced to 45 days from 62 days. The company's cash flow from operations was at ₹1,413 crore, and gross margins increased by 53% YoY. In FY25, the company's order book stood at $1.3 billion. Additionally, the company's domestic biologicals revenue grew by 20% YoY, and agrochemical exports surged 31% YoY, commercializing 6 new products in exports and 7 in domestic agri-brands, during the year. Their biological revenue currently generates ₹250 crore, and for the next 5 years, the company targets ₹1,000-1,200 crores in this segment. Further, for FY26, the company is transitioning from an agri-sciences company to a life sciences platform and aiming for $15-20 billion in agrochem (CSM), pharmaceuticals, CRDMO, electronic chemicals, and biologicals, and a robust product pipeline with 50% of new inquiries on non-agrochem. The company spent ₹928 crore on PI Health Sciences (PIHS) and expects ₹800-900 crore for FY26 for new product solutions and global expansions. The company expects to achieve > 75% revenue growth in FY26. EBITDA margins will be around 25%, gross margins will be 50-52%, and 60-65% for Pharma.

Also Read: PI Industries bets on innovation and scale to ride out trade turbulence Godrej Agrovet Ltd On a consolidated basis in FY25, EBITDA margin excluding non-recurring items improved to 10.1% from 8.3% in FY24, despite revenue remaining relatively flat year-on-year. The vegetable oil segment delivered remarkable results in FY25, growing at 33.8% YoY from ₹171 crore in FY24 to ₹229 crore, driven by an increase in the average realization of crude palm oil and palm kernel oil prices. Their strategic eMphasis on value-added products continues to gain traction, now contributing a significant 37% of the total sales. The animal feed segment, which accounts for 48.5% of the total revenue, showed a flatter trend in the sales volume growth. However, for FY25, segment margin improved sharply from 4.6% in FY24 to 6.1% in FY25 on account of favorable commodity positions and cost optimization initiatives. Animal feed's EBIT per MT significantly enhanced by 28%, from ₹1,542 in FY24 to ₹1,973 in FY25. Management expects FY26 EBIT/MT to remain in the ₹1,900–2,000 range. Godrej Agrovet's teams have worked closely with Indian farmers to develop over 61,700 hectares of smallholder oil palm plantations to bridge the demand and supply of edible oil. The management expects revenue growth between 16% and 18%, driven by volume growth, and anticipates strong growth across the Crop Protection business, the Animal Feed business, and the Astec LifeSciences business in FY26.
