ICICI Direct Report

Over the last three years, we witnessed enormous volatility in the crude prices from negative $40/barrel to $139/barrel in March 2022. This was on the back of a recovery in demand environment across the globe post Covid-19 along with disruption in crude supply due to Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022.

It led most crude intermediate prices to reach vigorously higher, in turn, affecting cost dynamics of most chemical downstream manufactures.

Additionally, rise in logistic cost along with higher power remained a key whammy on the chemical companies’ performance.

Despite all the above headwinds, our chemical universe coverage companies reported strong growth last quarter (revenues growing 31.6% YoY to Rs 13305 crore, while Ebitda and profit after tax jumped by 51.2% YoY and 77% YoY to Rs 2767 crore and Rs 1746 crore respectively).
