The company, recognized as a large-cap player with a market capitalization of Rs 39,329 crore, holds a significant position, constituting 7.07% of the sector.
In the latest quarter, Q3 FY24-25, Gujarat Fluorochemicals reported net sales of Rs 2,336 crore, showcasing a growth rate of 20.47%. The profit after tax (PAT) reached Rs 126 crore, marking a notable achievement for the company. Additionally, the profit before tax (PBT) less other income for the quarter was recorded at Rs 161 crore, reflecting a growth of 23.1%.

Despite these positive indicators, the company has exhibited a slower long-term growth trajectory, with net sales and operating profit increasing at annual rates of 6.78% and 6.74%, respectively, over the past five years. The return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at 8.3, indicating a valuation that may be perceived as expensive, particularly with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 5.3.
