What makes Sadhana Nitro Chem shares attractive?

On reasons for being highly bullish on Sadhana Nitro Chem share price return, Profitmart Securities report said, “SNCL enjoys a fully integrated business model where in a majority of SNCL’s revenue comes from exports (65-70%) and its major clients are L’oreal, Huntsman Advanced Materials, Tejin and Bayer Crop Science etc where in SNCL’s expertise lies in a niche segment of the nitrobenzene value chain, for which it sources raw materials like benzene, nitric acid, caustic potash, sulphur based chemicals and iron powder,” adding, “Currently Nitrobenzene, Meta Amino phenol (MAP), Metanilic acid, Aniline, Ortho Aminophenol, Para Amino Phenol, Ammonium sulphate, diethyl keto acid etc. Currently, 99% of revenue comes from chemical intermediates and 35% of revenue is from MAP & OBD2 with 65-75%+ exports.”
