Gujarat Fluorochemicals’ (GFL) Q2FY24 EBITDA at INR 1.6bn and EBITDA margin at 17.2% indicate dismal performance. Earnings were impacted by compression in gross margin, and lower absorption of fixed cost. However, we continue to like its business on two counts – 1) rising opportunity in fluoropolymers where change in industry structure can provide huge benefits for GFL; and 2) battery solutions where company is planning to cater demand of 30-40% cell producers with integrated electrolyte facility, cathode active material and PVDF blinder.
