Jefferies has a “buy” rating on Navin Fluorine with a price target of ₹8,385 apiece.
It said the company reported a strong quarter with its EBITDA and net profit growing of 19% and 30% respectively, beating the brokerage’s estimates, driven by strength in specialty chemicals and contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) segments.
