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.
