🧪 About the Company
Sadhana Nitrochem Ltd is a niche chemicals manufacturer that deals in:
- Nitrotoluenes
- Specialty intermediates
- Organic chemical compounds
It had its “📈 multibagger moment” back in 2022–23 when it rallied on capex + China+1 stories.
But now? Valuation has crashed. Confidence with it.
📊 Quarterly Performance Snapshot
Quarter | Revenue (₹ Cr) | PAT (₹ Cr) | EPS (₹) |
---|---|---|---|
Q1 | 31.11 | 0.04 | – |
Q2 | 33.87 | 0.55 | 0.02 |
Q3 | 30.10 | 0.64 | 0.02 |
Q4 | 49.35 | 4.10 | 0.12 |
Total FY25 EPS = ₹0.18–₹0.20
That’s not a growth stock. That’s a bond yield on life support.
🧠 EduInvesting Take
“This was once a ₹100+ favourite on Twitter. Now it’s fighting for ₹21.”
✅ Profitable
✅ Revenue growth visible in Q4
❌ Extremely low EPS
❌ Continuous lower circuits
❌ Zero investor trust
The company needs a rerating trigger. Right now, it’s just breaking down daily.
🧮 EduFair Value Estimate
- EPS = ₹0.20
- Give it a 70x P/E (smallcap chemical premium)? No.
- Use conservative 70x only if capex is complete & margins bounce
✅ EduFair Value = ₹14–₹18
CMP = ₹20 → Already overvalued based on EPS
📉 Unless Q1 FY26 shows a revenue jump — this will fall further.
⚠️ Risks
- 🧯 Lower circuits = zero liquidity
- 🧾 Poor communication, no updates
- 📉 Microcap + niche chemical = double whammy
- 🔍 May take months to recover, if at all
💸 CMP vs Value
Metric | Value |
---|---|
CMP | ₹20 |
Fair Value | ₹14–₹18 |
EPS (FY25) | ₹0.20 |
P/E at CMP | 100x (!) |
🏁 EduFinal Word
Sadhana is a:
- ⚗️ Speculative penny chemical play
- 💀 Stuck in price trap
- 🔁 Waiting for capex execution + big order news
Edu Verdict:
Avoid. Only revisit if circuits break and FY26 shows real numbers.
