ICICI Securities Report

SRF Ltd.’s Q2 FY22 print was not encouraging, but for strong margin expansion in chemical business from higher realisations in hydrofluorocarbons (refrigerant-gas), we anticipate even higher benefit in H2 FY22.

Technical textiles and packaging films margin compression QoQ was expected, but pace has negatively surprised.

Ref-gas utilisation increase along with higher spreads should support near-term profitability and continued growth in specialty chemicals (guidance: 15-20% growth in FY22 stays).

SRF has committed Rs 20 billion capex in FY22 (Rs 6.6 billion in H1 FY22), of which, chemicals would see Rs 12 billion investment.
