CFLS reported a strong operational performance for the March 2025 quarter (Q4FY25). The company reported 88.7 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from its continuing operations at ₹59.41 crore, as against ₹31.48 crore in Q4FY24. Reported EBITDA margins expanded to 13.6 per cent from 8.4 per cent from the year ago quarter. Revenue from operations grew 16.1 per cent YoY to ₹437.46 crore from ₹376.65 crore. Profit after tax (PAT) increased 16.9 per cent YoY at ₹22.74 crore.
At the consolidated level, CFSL derives around 85 per cent of its revenue from exports and from overseas subsidiaries, with over 100 products sold in around 80 countries. The company caters to diverse end user industries such as food, feed, animal and pet nutrition, flavours and fragrances, pharma, agrochemicals, and petrochemicals among others. This helps the company avoid dependence on any single industry and provides potential for expansion.
Management anticipates sustained momentum in this segment, projecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~20 per cent over the next 2–3 years. Margins are expected to expand further as the bleeding from continued operations reduces and other operations grow. Camlin is also set to benefit from the implementation of anti-dumping measures in the US and improving Vanillin prices. While steady performance improvement is expected, the analysts remain cautious of near-term uncertainties related to tariffs and capacity ramp-up.
Suven, a bio-pharmaceutical company, engaged in Drug Discovery and Development of New Chemical Entities (NCEs) in Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders targeting unmet medical needs, globally.
On May 13, the board of directors of Suven approved fund raising of ₹857.64 crore through fully convertible warrants on preferential basis to continue the funding of R&D, Clinical Development programs and general corporate purposes and CAPEX for creating new R&D facilities.
Suven has a significant opportunity in the rapidly growing CNS segment. The segment has limited competition due to high associated risks. CNS diseases include a broad spectrum of disorders in which the brain or spinal cord functioning is diminished or impaired, resulting in diminished motor, sensory, or cognitive performance.
The rising prevalence of CNS disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and depression, drives the demand for effective CNS therapeutics. Furthermore, the pandemic has resulted in increased stress levels, anxiety, depression and other mental conditions. This has led to an increased demand for CNS therapies.
Suven continues its R&D programs focused on CNS disease disorders and has secured 20 patents during the period covering countries Brazil, Eurasia, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Macao, Mexico, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, South Africa and the US.

Indian benchmarks drop 1% as investors fret over heightened Mideast tensions

(Reuters) -India's equity benchmarks fell 1% on Monday after U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites fuelled fears of a further escalation in Middle East tensions and pushed oil prices to a five-month high. The Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex were down 0.9% each at 24,890.03 points and 81,659.09 points, respectively, as of 10:37 a.m. IST. All 13 major sectors traded lower. The broader mid-caps fell 0.2% and small-caps were flat. The U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, joining Israel in the biggest Western military action against the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution. Most Asian stocks fell on Monday, with the MSCI Asia ex Japan down more than 1%. Oil prices briefly hit a five-month high, while the focus remains on a potential military response from Iran. [MKTS/GLOB] "Worries over potential supply disruptions from Strait of Hormuz is driving the sentiment," said Vinit Bolinjkar, head of research at Ventura Securities. About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait, which lies between Oman and Iran. Higher crude oil prices are a negative for India, which depends heavily on imports for its energy requirements, as they could stoke inflation and widen the fiscal deficit. Still, UBS said it does not see a prolonged disruption to oil supplies. "We believe that near-term downside in stocks could represent an opportunity for investors who are underallocated to equities to build positions," the brokerage said. Meanwhile, IT stocks shed 1.8% after Accenture posted a third consecutive quarter of yearly decline in outsourcing orders as a cutback in U.S. government spending and tariff uncertainty pressured economic growth. Indian IT firms get a significant chunk of their revenue from the U.S. In contrast, small finance banks rose after the central bank reduced the mandated portion of lending to priority sectors to 60% from 75%.
