HDFC Securities said, "Our BUY recommendation on Neogen Chemicals (NCL), with a target price of INR 1,925/sh is premised on (1) increasing contribution of the high-margin CSM business to revenue; (2) entry into the new-age electrolyte manufacturing business; (3) capacity-led expansion growth opportunity; (4) constant focus on R&D; and (5) improving return ratios and strong balance sheet, going forward.
