FACT, Paradeep Phosphates and GSFC Gain Up to 5%. Here's Why


By Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ)

Summary :


Fertiliser stocks gained on Monday, with FACT, Paradeep Phosphates and GSFC rising up to 5%. The rally was driven by easing concerns around the Strait of Hormuz, crude oil slipping below $76 per barrel and expectations of stronger monsoon rainfall, which could support fertiliser demand in the coming months.

Fertiliser stocks saw fresh buying on Monday. Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd (FACT), Paradeep Phosphates Ltd and Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) gained up to 5% during the session.

Here's a look at the key factors behind the move. 

There are three major reasons behind the move. The opening up of the Strait of Hormuz, fall in crude oil prices and improving monsoon conditions across India.

US, Iran Agree On ‘Roadmap’ Towards Final Deal in Switzerland

The Strait of Hormuz is an important route for India's fertiliser industry. The country imports a large portion of its raw materials from West Asia. This includes anhydrous ammonia and sulphur, which are used to make fertilisers such as Urea and DAP.

Over the last few weeks, tensions in the Gulf region had raised concerns about supplies. Shipping movement was affected and investors feared higher costs for fertiliser makers.

Now the situation appears to be easing.

Following the discussions between the US and Iran, shipping activity has started improving. Reports suggest that nearly 12 ships carrying fertiliser cargo have crossed the Strait of Hormuz.

Crude Oil Below $76 Per Barrel

Another positive for the sector is the fall in crude oil prices.

Fertiliser manufacturing requires a significant amount of energy. Natural gas is a key input in the production process. When oil and gas prices rise, production costs also move higher.

But after the opening of the Strait, crude oil price has now slipped to around $76 per barrel. This has turned out to be a positive factor for the fertiliser sector. 

Monsoon Revival

The monsoon has also added to the positive mood.

After slowing down for some time, the southwest monsoon is expected to pick up again. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted stronger rainfall activity across parts of Central India.

Good rainfall is generally positive for fertiliser demand. Farmers tend to increase sowing activity, which boosts the need for crop nutrients.

Following these tailwinds, few stocks saw decent rally - 

Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd

Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd (FACT) was incorporated in the year 1943. The company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of fertilisers, its by-products and Caprolactam.

FACT share price touched an intraday high of ₹932 on Monday. The stock gained more than 5% during early trade as investors reacted positively to the improving sector outlook.

Paradeep Phosphates Ltd

Paradeep Phosphates Ltd also witnessed strong buying interest. Established in 1981, the company is India’s leading private sector phosphatic fertiliser company. It has a total production capacity of 3.7 million tonnes per annum across its facilities in Paradeep, Goa and Mangalore.

Paradeep Phosphate's share price rose to an intraday high of ₹140.40, gaining more than 3% during the session. The stock has also advanced over 9% in the last one week.

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GSFC)

Incorporated in 1962, GSFC is promoted by the Government of Gujarat and manufactures a wide range of fertilisers and industrial products.

GSFC share price opened at ₹166.87 and climbed to an intraday high of ₹170.84. Based on the previous close of ₹165.44, the stock gained more than 3% during the day.
