Business Overview and Revenue Trends
National Fertilizer Ltd operates in the fertiliser sector and has reported a current market capitalisation of ₹4,287 Cr. Over the years, the company has seen significant fluctuations in sales. For instance, sales stood at ₹15,857 Cr in March 2022, rose to ₹29,587 Cr by March 2023, but subsequently declined to ₹23,556 Cr in March 2024 and further to ₹19,798 Cr for March 2025. The trailing twelve months (TTM) revenue is reported at ₹20,610 Cr, indicating a challenging revenue environment. Quarterly sales figures also reflect this volatility, with a high of ₹10,137 Cr in December 2022, followed by a drop to ₹5,048 Cr in June 2023, and a recovery to ₹7,584 Cr in December 2023. This inconsistency raises concerns about demand stability and market positioning, especially given the competitive landscape of the fertiliser industry.
Profitability and Efficiency Metrics
Profitability metrics for National Fertilizer Ltd reveal a mixed performance. The operating profit margin (OPM) fluctuated significantly, recording a low of -5% in March 2023, followed by a recovery to 4% in December 2023. However, for the fiscal year ending March 2025, OPM is projected at 3%. Net profit has also seen volatility, from a net profit of ₹458 Cr in March 2023 to ₹150 Cr in March 2024, and a slight recovery to ₹184 Cr in March 2025. The company’s return on equity (ROE) stood at 6.49%, which is relatively low compared to typical sector averages. The interest coverage ratio (ICR) of 3.11x indicates adequate capacity to service debt, but the low net profit margins (0.38% for March 2025) highlight the need for operational improvements. The cash conversion cycle has improved to 42 days, suggesting better efficiency in managing working capital.
Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Ratios
National Fertilizer Ltd’s balance sheet reflects a mix of strengths and weaknesses. The company reported reserves of ₹2,074 Cr, which provides a buffer for operational challenges. However, total borrowings have increased to ₹4,537 Cr, raising concerns about leverage. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.73, indicating a reliance on debt financing, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment. The company’s current ratio of 1.01 suggests it can cover short-term liabilities, while the quick ratio of 0.82 indicates some liquidity pressure. The price-to-book value ratio is reported at 1.45x, suggesting the stock may be overvalued compared to its net asset value. Furthermore, the return on capital employed (ROCE) is reported at 7.57%, indicating moderate efficiency in generating returns from capital investments, which is below optimal levels compared to industry benchmarks.
Shareholding Pattern and Investor Confidence
The shareholding pattern of National Fertilizer Ltd indicates a strong promoter presence, with promoters holding 74.71% of the equity. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have gradually increased their stake to 0.91%, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have reduced their holding to 5.99%. Public shareholding has seen a rise, reaching 18.39%, reflecting growing retail interest. The number of shareholders increased significantly from 1,19,623 in December 2022 to 2,99,076 by September 2025, indicating heightened investor confidence despite the company’s profitability challenges. The declining DII stake may raise concerns about institutional confidence, yet the stable promoter holding suggests a commitment to long-term growth. The dividend payout ratio for March 2025 stands at 7.20%, a slight increase from previous years, which could signal a cautious approach to returning capital to shareholders while retaining earnings for reinvestment.
Outlook, Risks, and Final Insight
Looking ahead, National Fertilizer Ltd faces both opportunities and risks. The volatility in sales and profitability metrics indicates a need for strategic repositioning, especially in a sector influenced by agricultural demand and government policies. Strengths include a robust promoter backing and improvements in operational efficiency, as evidenced by the cash conversion cycle. However, the high debt levels and low profitability margins pose significant risks, particularly in a tightening economic environment. The company must navigate these challenges while capitalising on potential growth in the agricultural sector. A focus on cost management and product innovation could enhance margins. The outlook remains contingent on market conditions and management’s ability to execute its strategic initiatives effectively, which will be critical for sustaining investor confidence and financial health.
