Experts expect a revival

According to Ganesh Dongre, senior manager of technical research at brokerage firm Anand Rathi, Fineotexh Chemicals shares are looking strong on the daily and weekly charts.

“The chemical stock has made a trend reversal after bottoming out at ₹320 and looks set to touch ₹380 in the near term. Those with a little long view can hold the stock for a three-month target of ₹420. However, one must maintain strict stop loss while taking any position in this Ashish Kacholia portfolio stock,” said Dongre.

Mandar Bhojane, an equity research analyst at Choice Broking believes if the stock holds above the crucial ₹320 support level and shows signs of recovery, it could provide an attractive buying opportunity.

“A long position may be considered with an initial target range of ₹360 to ₹380. To mitigate risks, a strict stop loss at ₹320 is recommended, ensuring protection against potential downside in case of further weakness in the stock,” said Bhojane.

Some experts appear upbeat about the growth prospects of the company.

Prathamesh Masdekar, a research analyst at StoxBox, observed that Fineotex is pursuing a strategic path of diversification, expanding its product portfolio from speciality chemicals for textiles to other segments like hygiene and oil and gas.

This diversification and a focus on operational agility have improved the company’s production efficiency and enabled swift responses to market demands.

Masdekar said that significant advancements in eco-friendly and sustainable product portfolios have reinforced the company’s market position and facilitated expansion into international textile hubs.

“Fineotex anticipates increased demand for speciality chemicals as industry activity strengthens and supply chains stabilize in the upcoming quarters. The company’s construction activity at the new Ambernath plant is progressing well and is expected to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and serve a growing customer base. The new facility is anticipated to be operational in the coming year, significantly boosting production capacity,” said Masdekar.

“The company strategically leverages emerging market opportunities, focusing strongly on quality and customer solutions. This enables the company’s position for sustained growth and profitability in the speciality chemicals sector,” Masdekar said.
