We retain our ADD rating on SRF with a target price of INR 6,080 on the back of (1) continued healthy performance from Speciality Chemicals business and Packging Films business, (2) recovery in the Technical Textile segment, (3) strong balance sheet, and (4) deployment of Capex towards high-growth Speciality Chemicals business over 3-4 years to tap the opportunities emerging from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industry. EBITDA/APAT were 33/43% above estimates, owing to 6% higher revenue and lower-than- anticipated operating expenses and interest costs.
