Acutaas Chemicals LtdNSE:ACUTAAS
Current view Q4 2026
Makes advanced pharma-chemical building blocks (formerly Ami Organics). A shift into high-value CDMO contracts has doubled both margins and profit, and management keeps beating its own guidance. Main worry is the rich price, near record highs.

Exchange filings, with the company's own one-line summary, read off the same page as the figures. Screener publishes only the most recent few, so this is the last 5 — not everything filed since your note, and a quiet-looking list is not proof of a quiet quarter. A filing is marked new when it is dated after the end of the quarter your note covers. Not scored, and not a judgement — a routine repayment notice and a takeover sit in the same list.

Tinted rows drive the Tier. Tier = the weaker of YoY Sales and YoY PAT growth. Here the weaker is Sales at +40.6%, which is ≥ 20% → Tier 1.
QoQ is sequential, not a trend. For most Indian companies the March quarter is seasonally the largest, so a June-quarter fall against it is a calendar effect. Only the YoY column feeds the Tier.
Multibagger potential
Average59/100
Growing fast — and the market has noticed. Profit per share grew 56% a year, and buyers now pay more for each rupee of it than they did a year ago. Some of the re-pricing has already happened.
₹3,214 → ₹6,429 needs the P/E at 39× — it is 74× today, and has ranged 42× to 96× over the last 5 years. The rest would come from earnings growing as they have.
What you pay for its profitlog scale · 5-year range
Tripling needs 58× — inside its 5-year range, under the 59× median.
At ₹2,576 the price-tag on its earnings reaches the 59× it is being projected toward — the point where being cheap against that yardstick is used up.
Re-rated already, on growth that doesn't fully back it.
How this is calculated
This is arithmetic, not a forecast — Return = ΔEPS × ΔMultiple. It says what would have to be true, not how likely it is, and "earnings keep growing at this rate for three more years" is the assumption doing the most work. This is a mid-cap at ₹27,359 cr, so the odds of a re-rate are not fighting its own size.
Growth rate used: 56.1% — the weakest of EPS / Sales / Op-profit from 3-year EPS CAGR. Latest quarter reads 60%.
How it compares with its rivals Healthcare · 6 of 159 listed
These are the industry's largest names rather than companies of its own size, so the columns are worth reading straight across — a ranking against them would only be restating the size gap.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acutaas Chemical | ₹3,411 | 72.4× | ₹27,926 Cr | 31.6% | +67.7% | +59.1% |

Screener's own peer group, from the request already made for the industry P/E. It serves the industry's largest names by market cap, not companies of a similar size, so treat this as context rather than a like-for-like table; this company is always shown. On a phone the price, size and sales columns are dropped rather than pushed off the edge. Not part of the score.

Fetched from the filings, not typed — and deliberately not part of the score. These are the questions the score cannot ask: it reads growth, price and trend, so a company can score well while its profit never becomes cash. Weigh these beside the note, not against the number.
