18 June 2026: Mojo Grade Upgrade and Valuation Shift
On 18 June, Primo Chemicals was upgraded from 'Hold' to 'Buy' by MarketsMOJO, reflecting improved valuation and financial metrics. The stock closed at Rs.24.11, up 1.69% from the previous day, on relatively low volume of 5,434 shares. This upgrade was driven by a marked improvement in valuation ratios, including a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 36.94 and an enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiple of 10.28, both favourable compared to peers such as Stallion India and Sanstar Chemicals, which trade at significantly higher multiples.
The company’s profit before tax less other income surged by 1083.6% in Q4 FY25-26, signalling operational improvements. Despite this, Primo Chemicals’ return on capital employed (ROCE) and return on equity (ROE) remain modest at 2.95% and 3.83% respectively. The upgrade also noted the company’s conservative debt-equity ratio of 0.32 and strong interest coverage ratio of 4.90 times, underscoring financial stability amid sector volatility.
19 June 2026: Slight Recovery Amid Market Pullback
The week closed on 19 June with a slight recovery in Primo Chemicals’ share price to Rs.24.15, a 0.17% gain from the previous close. This came despite the Sensex retreating 0.30% to 36,174.54. Volume increased to 15,926 shares, indicating renewed investor interest following the upgrade announcement. The stock’s weekly performance, however, remained negative at -1.11%, underperforming the Sensex’s 2.35% gain for the week.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Valuation Upgrade: The upgrade to a 'Buy' rating by MarketsMOJO on 17 June 2026 was driven by improved valuation metrics, including a P/E ratio of 36.94 and EV/EBITDA of 10.28, which are attractive relative to sector peers trading at much higher multiples.
Financial Performance: The company’s quarterly profit before tax less other income surged by over 1000%, signalling operational improvements. Conservative leverage and strong interest coverage ratios further support financial stability.
Price Underperformance: Despite positive fundamental developments, Primo Chemicals underperformed the Sensex this week, declining 1.11% versus a 2.35% gain in the benchmark index. This reflects lingering market caution and sector volatility.
Long-Term Context: The stock has experienced significant underperformance over the past three years (-62.94%) compared to the Sensex’s 21.73% gain, though it boasts a remarkable 727.29% return over ten years, highlighting its long-term value creation potential.
Micro-Cap Risks: As a micro-cap stock with majority non-institutional ownership, Primo Chemicals may face higher volatility and liquidity constraints, factors investors should consider alongside the recent upgrade.
Conclusion
Primo Chemicals Ltd’s week was characterised by a notable mojo grade upgrade to 'Buy' and a shift to an attractive valuation grade, signalling improved fundamentals despite a challenging market environment. The stock’s modest weekly decline of 1.11% contrasted with the Sensex’s 2.35% gain, underscoring ongoing investor caution amid sector volatility. The upgrade reflects strong quarterly earnings growth, conservative financial ratios, and comparatively favourable valuation multiples versus peers. However, the company’s modest profitability metrics and historical underperformance over recent years suggest that investors should approach with measured optimism. Overall, Primo Chemicals presents a cautiously positive risk-reward profile for those monitoring the commodity chemicals sector.
