Brokerage Views Diverge
Following the strong earnings, brokerage firms Jefferies and Citi updated their outlooks and price targets for Navin Fluorine International Ltd.
Jefferies maintained a ‘buy’ rating, raising its price target from Rs 8,700 to Rs 9,045. The firm cited strong earnings performance and a valuation that remains below its long-term average as key factors.
Conversely, Citi maintained a ‘sell’ call on the stock, despite increasing its target price to Rs 7,200 from Rs 6,500. Citi’s analysis indicated an unfavorable risk-reward ratio, suggesting that the stock’s 50% increase over the last year already accounts for recent earnings strength. The firm also flagged potential downside risks related to refrigerant gas R32 pricing in India, which could impact NFIL’s FY28 EBITDA margin.
