Live Events Investment Rationale Deepak Nitrite's 4QFY25 earnings print was significantly better than our and consensus expectations primarily on account of government incentives. The company will continue to receive these incentives on the existing phenol complex as well the upcoming polycarbonate complex. On the operational front, advanced intermediates (AI) performance showed sequential improvement. Going ahead, volume normalisation in the AI segment is likely from 2HFY26. Moreover, commissioning of backward integration capex in the AI segment (including nitric acid, photo chlorination) should help lift AI segment margins from 2QFY26, according to JM FInancial. On the phenolics side, benefits of MIBK/MIBC and acetophenone commissioning are likely to flow through from 3QFY26. Besides that, we are also factoring in some improvement in phenol-acetone spreads. There has been a delay in the commissioning of various projects. Hence, on overall basis, the brokerage's FY26-27 EPS estimates are revised downwards by ~1%.

Deepak Nitrite's investors have to wait longer for margin to improve
Deepak Nitrite Ltd investors seem thrilled about the prospects of Ebitda margin bottoming out, going by its March quarter (Q4FY25) results. Ebitda margin soared to 14.5%, a staggering rise of 567 basis points (bps) QoQ. The stock increased over 5% to almost ₹2,110. But note that Q4 had government incentives worth ₹161 crore included in revenue, which was absent in Q3. Excluding that, Ebitda margin would have been 7.7%, lower than 8.9% in the preceding quarter. Nonetheless, the benefit of government incentives is likely to continue for the next couple of years at least and would be Rs60-70 crore on a sustained basis. The phenolics segment, forming nearly 70% of revenue, showed a return to normalized Ebit margin at 15.6%, up by 150bps year-on-year, although QoQ recovery is sharper as the margin had dipped to 8.9% owing to firm input prices. The spreads in phenolics have reached such a low that it has become difficult for most non-integrated producers to survive. The other segment—advanced intermediates—continues to struggle, with Ebit margin falling a whopping 1300 bps year-on-year to 7%, even though it recovered from an abysmal low of 3% in Q3. Advanced intermediates mainly caters to the agrochemicals, dyes, and pigment industries. The management believes that dyes and pigments are showing initial signs of demand bouncing back, but the recovery in agrochemicals remains uneven after the global destocking in the agrochemical (finished goods) business. Deepak Nitrite wants to reduce dependence on a few products in advanced intermediates by focusing on diversification through new variants and downstream products. It is also looking to reduce performance volatility through long-term supply contracts with a couple of large global customers. The company's earnings growth is more correlated to capital expenditure (capex) led volume growth rather than margin-led growth through pricing power. Capex projects costing ₹2,000 crore would be commissioned in FY26.

Over the long term, the company has a pipeline of expansion projects worth ₹15,000 crore up to FY28. During the earnings call, the management said aggressive capacity expansion in China has led to pricing pressure globally. So, unless there is rationalization of overcapacity, there is little hope. Even if Deepak Nitrite's cost savings initiatives do fructify, Bloomberg consensus estimates are factoring 23% CAGR in EPS for the next two years to FY27. Based on FY27 estimates, the stock trades at 27x, which is expensive for a commodity stock. Also Read: LIC's growth perils curb stock's valuation

Mehta, chairman & managing director said: With all projects coming in with entire backward and forward integration we would be poised for much more resilient operations with an improved bottom line performance. In these turbulent times backward and forward integration go a longway in ensuring that ultimate consumers are taken care of and both the commodity and specialty businesses support each other. Our growth plan envisages development of further upstream products like Nitric Acid and downstream products such as MIBK, MIBC, for which capacities are set to be operationalized in the upcoming quarters. These will deepen the degree of integration across our business and strengthen our competitive position. The plan to manufacture polycarbonate resins is also taking more concrete shape and the Board of DCTL has recently approved investments for manufacturing 300 KTA of Phenol, 185 KTA of Acetone and 100 KTA of lsopropyl Alcohol (lPA) including greenfield infrastructure capex for an aggregate investment of about 3,500 crore. This is over and above the present manufacturing capacity of these products and the new capacity of Phenol and Acetone will be ultimately integrated to produce Polycarbonate Resins. This approval along with the previous approval of 5,000 crore of PC resins brings the aggregate investment pipeline for the PC Resin project to around 8,500 crore. As already mentioned, Deepak will be one of the largest single location producers of Phenol and Acetone in the entire world with more than half of the capacity converted into downstream derivatives such as Bisphenol A and PC Resins, etc. With the commitment to increased Research and Development Activity the new R&D Centre is scheduled to be operative during the year. We are already bringing forward new projects that would enhance our position in life sciences business as well as specialty solvents. New Products in the area of Material Sciences are also being considered based on core competencies of Deepak. Meanwhile, the companys board recommended a dividend of Rs 7.50 per share with a face value of Rs 2 per share for FY25, subject to approval of shareholders at ensuing annual general meeting (AGM. The dividend, if approved by shareholders at the ensuing 54th AGM of the company will be paid within 30 days from the date of AGM. Deepak Nitrite is a leading chemical intermediates producer with a diversified portfolio that caters to the dyes and pigments, agrochemical, pharmaceutical, plastics, textiles, paper and home and personal care segments.
