Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On 21 Jan 2026, Acme Resources Ltd’s share price slipped to Rs.31.78, the lowest level seen in the past year. This represents a decline of 7.25% over the last three trading days.

The share price is currently trading beneath all major moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling a persistent bearish trend.
The broader market environment has also been challenging. The Sensex opened sharply lower by 385.82 points and closed down 240.32 points at 81,554.33, a decline of 0.76%. The index has now fallen for three consecutive weeks, losing 4.91% over this period. While the Sensex trades below its 50-day moving average, the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, indicating some underlying support at longer-term levels.

Financial Metrics and Valuation Concerns
Acme Resources Ltd’s financial performance has been subdued, contributing to the stock’s weak momentum. The company’s long-term fundamentals remain under pressure, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of just 3.37%, indicating limited profitability relative to shareholder equity. Net sales have declined at an annualised rate of 5.35%, while operating profit has contracted by 12.38% over the same period.
Recent quarterly results for September 2025 showed a Profit Before Tax excluding other income (PBT LESS OI) of Rs.0.69 crore, a sharp fall of 68.49% compared to previous periods. This decline in profitability has weighed on investor sentiment and valuation metrics.
Despite the subdued earnings, the stock trades at a Price to Book Value (P/BV) of 0.6, which is considered expensive relative to its peers’ historical valuations. This premium valuation amidst declining profits and sales growth has been a factor in the stock’s underperformance.
Sector and Shareholding Structure
Operating within the Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector, Acme Resources Ltd faces sector-specific headwinds that have affected many companies in this space. The stock’s Mojo Score currently stands at 17.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating dated 27 Dec 2024. This grading reflects the company’s weak fundamentals and valuation concerns.
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, indicating concentrated ownership. This structure can influence strategic decisions and market perception, particularly during periods of price volatility.

Summary of Key Concerns
The stock’s decline to a 52-week low is underpinned by several factors: weak long-term growth trends, declining profitability, and valuation levels that do not align with the company’s financial performance. The recent quarterly earnings contraction and the stock’s position below all major moving averages reinforce the prevailing negative momentum.
Additionally, the broader market weakness, with the Sensex falling for three consecutive weeks, has compounded the pressure on Acme Resources Ltd’s share price. The stock’s underperformance relative to both the Sensex and the BSE500 index highlights the challenges faced by the company within its sector and the market at large.
While the company’s promoter holding remains significant, the current market environment and financial metrics suggest a cautious outlook on the stock’s near-term price action.
