Stock Performance and Market Context
On 30 Dec 2025, Aban Offshore Ltd opened sharply lower by 4.95%, trading at Rs.19.19, which also represented the day’s intraday low. The stock has been on a consecutive five-day losing streak, resulting in a cumulative decline of 22.5% over this period. This recent slide has brought the share price down from its 52-week high of Rs.67 to the current low, a drop of approximately 71.4% over the past year.
In comparison, the Sensex opened marginally lower at 84,600.99 points, down 0.11%, and is currently trading near 84,635.88 points, just 1.8% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02. While the broader market shows resilience, Aban Offshore’s performance starkly contrasts with the Sensex’s 8.16% gain over the last 12 months.
The stock’s underperformance extends beyond the immediate term, with returns over the past year at -68.83%, and it has lagged the BSE500 index across multiple time frames including one year, three years, and three months.

Financial Health and Fundamental Metrics
Aban Offshore’s financial fundamentals continue to reflect challenges. The company holds a Mojo Score of 3.0 with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, an upgrade from a previous Sell rating on 5 Aug 2025. This grading reflects deteriorated long-term fundamentals and heightened risk factors.
The company’s book value is negative, indicating weak long-term financial strength. Over the past five years, net sales have declined at an annualised rate of -18.44%, while operating profit has remained stagnant at 0%. This lack of growth is compounded by a high debt profile, with the average debt-to-equity ratio recorded at 0 times, but the half-yearly debt-to-equity ratio reaching a negative 0.61 times, signalling financial strain.
Recent quarterly results for September 2025 further underline these concerns. The company reported a net loss after tax (PAT) of Rs. -307.44 crores, a 36.0% decline compared to the previous four-quarter average. Operating profit to interest coverage ratio also hit a low of 0.06 times, highlighting difficulties in servicing debt obligations.
Valuation and Risk Considerations
The stock is trading at valuations considered risky relative to its historical averages. Over the past year, profits have fallen by 7.5%, and the company’s market capitalisation grade stands at 4, reflecting a relatively small market cap with associated liquidity and volatility concerns.
Majority shareholding remains with non-institutional investors, which may influence trading dynamics and liquidity. The stock’s consistent underperformance relative to the BSE500 and sector peers over multiple time horizons emphasises the challenges faced by the company in regaining investor confidence.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Aban Offshore Ltd’s stock has reached a new 52-week low of Rs.19.19, reflecting a significant decline of nearly 72% from its 52-week high of Rs.67. The stock’s five-day consecutive fall and underperformance relative to the Sensex and oil sector highlight ongoing pressures. Financially, the company faces challenges with negative book value, declining sales, stagnant operating profits, and elevated debt levels. Recent quarterly losses and weak interest coverage ratios further compound concerns.
While the broader market remains relatively stable, Aban Offshore’s share price trajectory and fundamental indicators suggest a cautious outlook based on current data.
