AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I wear two hats: Buffett’s business quality and Graham’s margin of safety. Coromandel Inter, at ₹2,095.30 and ₹61,706 Cr market cap, is a fertilizer business with a 5-year revenue CAGR of 12.89%, latest quarter sales of ₹8,779 Cr, and net profit of ₹488 Cr. The balance sheet looks sturdy: debt/equity only 0.11, ROE 21.61%, ROCE 23.20%, Altman Z-score 4.81, and Piotroski F-score 7/9. Promoter holding at 56.86% also aligns owners. But the earnings picture is uneven: sales grew 15.90% while profit fell 24.50%, and free cash flow is negative ₹174 Cr. That tells me growth is not converting into bottom-line or cash. Valuation is my biggest pause. P/E 33.78 and P/B 4.91 against book value of ₹426.42 leave no Graham cushion. The Graham Number is ₹829.92, implying a margin of safety of -167.49%; I would be paying a huge premium to intrinsic value as Graham defined it. PEG of 1.66 is not cheap, and the negative EV/EBITDA figure deserves scrutiny. Dividend yield is only 0.52%. FairStock score 61/100, Steady, fits a cyclical fertilizer franchise rather than a fast grower. The stock has ranged from ₹1,652 to ₹2,499 over the past year, so sentiment can swing widely. I like the low debt and returns on capital, but at this price I’d wait for profit growth and FCF to recover before calling it a bargain.
