Company Update: Navin Fluorine | Scaling up new horizons
“We believe Navin Fluorine is on an aggressive growth path with major growth drivers across all segments. It is set to see strong growth in the CDMO segment driven by multiple pharma intermediate supply agreements for EU and US pharma majors, enabled by its strong R&D capabilities. In the ref gas business, it is likely to benefit from tailwinds in the global HFC-32 market, leading to a healthy market opportunity. Besides that, Navin’s recent agreement with Chemours for data centre cooling liquids and upcoming high-purity AHF grades provide entry into crucial emerging segments. Also, the company is likely to see robust sales contribution from intermediates supplied to Corteva from FY26. This is likely to result in 25%/29%/36% sales/EBITDA/EPS CAGR over FY25-28E. We resume our coverage with an unchanged BUY rating and a Sep’26 TP of INR 6,050/share (based on 45x Sep’27E EPS) as we remain constructive on the company’s growth prospects. Navin Fluorine is our top pick in our coverage universe,” said Krishan Parwani of JM Financial Institutional Securities.
Stock Market Live: How Much India's Equity Markets Has Performed So Far in 2025?
"India’s equity market is navigating a complex but promising landscape. After two years of strong performance, the market is currently in a consolidation phase, digesting past gains and recalibrating amid global and domestic shifts. However, we see a clear trend of outperformance of the high quality-high growth strategy, while the basket of low quality-low growth companies and parts of the markets which were in bubble zone are seeing a deceleration and we expect this trend to continue. While geopolitical and macro-economic events continue to be areas of concern, we believe that India being largely a domestic-oriented economy, will be able to weather the storm with limited impacts. Further, policy measures such as income tax and GST cuts and upcoming pay commission hike for central government employees, could increase disposable incomes and help consumption, which should augur well for overall economic growth," noted Vinay Paharia,CIO, PGIM India Mutual Fund.

Nifty Prediction Today By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
Having entered the 25400-600 region which has been in our radar as an upside objective for some time now, and with it, a test of the upper bollinger band, sluggishness has re emerged. However direct rise above 25440 could encourage us to stay with the uptrend till atleast 25600. Alternatively, slippage past 25292/280 could trigger falls, though momentum indicators do not suggest a collapse.
Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
Market is on an uptrend and is well positioned to set new records soon. Fundamentals, technicals and sentiments are favourable for a steady uptrend. Fundamentally, earnings are likely to improve from Q3 onwards. Technically, the market construct is favourable for an up move since there are shorts in the system and short covering is happening and can accelerate. From the market sentiment perspective, there are reports of a US- India trade deal without the penal tariff and lower reciprocal tariff from high government officials. Combination of all these factors will keep the market resilient. Sensing these positive developments FIIs also have significantly reduced their selling and has even turned buyers, though marginally. In brief, it is advantage bulls.
Bank Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
During the previous session, the index witnessed volatility. A gap-up start was nearly retraced, but strong buying in the final hour from key support zones lifted sentiment. This repeated pattern, where earlier resistance levels are now acting as reliable supports, underscores the market’s underlying strength. On the daily chart, Nifty Bank closed firmly above the 0.50% retracement mark, reaffirming the classic shift of resistance turning into support. Any pullbacks, therefore, are likely to offer fresh accumulation opportunities. Momentum indicators remain constructive, with RSI holding steady above 60, indicating a sustained build-up of bullish strength. With resistance-turned-support dynamics in play, the 55,300–55,400 band has emerged as a strong demand zone. On the upside, hurdles are seen at 56,080, while 55,300 remains a dependable support. As long as this base holds, a buy-on-dips approach stays favourable.
Nifty Prediction Today By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
During Thursday’s session, the index traded with volatility. A gap-up start was nearly retraced, but strong buying in the final hour from support levels revived momentum. This recurring pattern, where earlier resistance levels have turned into dependable supports, highlights the strength of the market’s base. On the daily chart, Nifty continued its follow-through move above the neckline breakout of its previous swing high, validating the classic shift of resistance into support. Any corrective declines are likely to serve as opportunities for accumulation. Momentum indicators remain favourable, with RSI holding above 65, confirming sustained strength. With resistance-turned-support dynamics in play, the 25,200–25,300 band has now emerged as a strong demand zone. On the higher side, 25,500 remains the immediate hurdle. As long as this base holds, a buy-on-dips approach stays constructive.
Bank Nifty Derivatives Snapshot By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
The derivatives setup reflects sustained optimism, with put writers holding a clear edge over call writers. At the 56,000 strike, significant open interest buildup of 13.20 lakh contracts has reinforced it as a strong resistance ceiling. Meanwhile, the 55,000 strike recorded the highest put OI at 14.44 lakh contracts, cementing its role as a solid support. Fresh put writing at current levels highlights limited conviction for sharp downside moves, while unwinding of call positions signals improving confidence among traders. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) edged up to 1.10 from 1.09, maintaining a bullish undertone with room for sustained momentum, though a decisive breakout above resistance is still awaited.
Nifty Derivatives Snapshot By Dhupesh Dhameja, Derivatives Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities
Derivatives positioning continues to reflect optimism, with put writers maintaining an edge over call writers. Fresh open interest of 1.15 crore contracts at the 25,500 strike reinforced this level as a resistance ceiling, while heavy put OI of 93.91 lakh contracts at 25,300 reaffirmed it as a strong support. Fresh put writing at current strikes suggests limited conviction for sharp downsides, while call writing gradually shifting to higher strikes indicates continuation of bullish momentum. The Put-Call Ratio (PCR) eased marginally to 1.09 from 1.16, still reflecting a positive bias. Short consolidation phases or shallow dips may act as accumulation windows.
