⚗️ “Balaji Amines Fires Up an EV-Grade DMC Reactor — Will the Stock Recharge or Just Evaporate?”

📉 FY25 was a chemical hangover: Stand-alone revenue slipped 4.8 % YoY to ₹1,27,359 lakh and PAT fell 8.8 % to ₹15,621 lakh.
🛫 Consolidated picture looks rougher: Top-line down 15 %, owner PAT down 23 %.
💰 Dividend still juicy: Board proposes ₹11/share (550 % on ₹2 FV) — that’s a 0.7 % yield at ₹1,492.
🔋 Big new trigger: Commissioned electronic-grade DMC unit on 28 May 2025 — a solvent used in EV-battery electrolytes.
👑 Succession locked till 2031: Re-appointment of executive chairman, MD, two WTDs & CFO for another 5 years.
🏨 Tiny hotel arm (3 % of revenue) keeps the “aminations & vacations” joke alive.
