Review By Rudra Shares & Stock Brokers Ltd on June 21, 2018

Fine Organics is the largest manufacturer of oleo chemical-based additives in India and a strong player globally in this industry.

It is one of six global players in the food additives industry and one of five global players in the plastic additives industry

Further, company is expanding its product range into segments to offer high growth potential and also planning to diversify by manufacturing and distributing premixes for bakery and confectionary products and pan release agents. This facility is expected to commence operations by Q1 FY19.

Moreover, on the upper price band of Rs 783 with annualized EPS of 9M FY18, P/E works out at 28.26 xs.

Fine Organics business looks attractive but high valuation at current level fails to infuse optimism in company, hence recommend NEUTRAL on issue.
