Why is JM Financial positive about Acutaas Chemicals?
In a 9 September report, JM Financial said it had resumed coverage on Acutaas with a buy rating, pegging the 12-month target price at ₹3,800 based on 45 times September 2028E EPS (earning per share).
JM Financial expects Acutaas to deliver sustained earnings growth, largely due to a strong 28% CAGR in the CDMO business over FY26–30E, and increased contribution from newer businesses such as electrolyte additives, semiconductors and electronic chemicals.
“Our calculations suggest Daro-V volumes could grow nearly three times over FY26–30E to nearly 160MT by FY30E supported by the expanding Nubeqa patient base following successful outcomes of ARASTEP and DASL-HiCaP trial. This is expected to translate to Daro-V revenue of nearly ₹1,700 crore by FY30E, which would be the key growth driver in the CDMO business,” said JM Financial.
“We are also building in nearly 45% CAGR for Specialty Chemicals’ revenue – increasing from ₹160 crore in FY26 to ₹730 crore by FY30E – driven by the shift towards higher-value semiconductor chemicals and electrolyte additives. In Pharma Intermediates, we expect the four new CDMO molecules to scale up to nearly ₹320 crore by FY30E while Apixaban’s anticipated November 2026 patent expiry is expected to support growth in the legacy pharma business,” JM Financial added.
For Acutaas Chemicals, the brokerage firm estimates a revenue, EBITDA, and PAT CAGR of 28%, 29%, and 28%, respectively, over FY26–30E.
The company’s revenue from operations jumped 33% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹1,339.4 crore, while profit after tax (PAT) surged 122% YoY to ₹356.4 crore in FY26. EBITDA jumped 107% YoY to ₹480.4 crore, while EBITDA margin increased to 35.9% in FY26 from 23% in FY25, according to the company’s annual report for FY26.
