Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On 26 Nov 2025, AG Ventures’ share price touched Rs.130, the lowest level recorded in the past year. This new low comes after the stock experienced a consecutive five-day decline, resulting in a cumulative return of -6.7% during this period. The day’s performance also showed the stock underperforming its sector by 1.74%, indicating relative weakness within the Commodity Chemicals industry segment.
In contrast, the broader market displayed strength on the same day. The Sensex, after a flat opening with a minor dip of 83.57 points, surged by 1,106.07 points to close at 85,609.51, representing a 1.21% gain. The benchmark index is currently trading just 0.22% below its 52-week high of 85,801.70, supported by bullish moving averages where the 50-day moving average remains above the 200-day moving average. Mid-cap stocks led the rally, with the BSE Mid Cap index gaining 1.32%.
Technical Indicators Signal Continued Weakness
AG Ventures is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This technical positioning suggests sustained downward momentum and a lack of short-term support levels. The stock’s 52-week high stands at Rs.329.05, highlighting the extent of the price contraction over the past year.

Financial Performance Over the Past Year
AG Ventures’ one-year return stands at -44.42%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s 7.01% gain over the same period. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock consistently lagging behind the BSE500 index in each of the previous three annual periods. The company’s net sales have declined at an annual rate of -19.70% over the last five years, while operating profit has contracted by -37.29% during the same timeframe.
Profitability metrics further illustrate the company’s challenges. The average Return on Equity (ROE) is recorded at 6.93%, indicating limited profitability relative to shareholders’ funds. The latest six-month Profit After Tax (PAT) figure is Rs.3.37 crores, reflecting a contraction of -27.75%. Operating cash flow for the year is at Rs.8.09 crores, the lowest level noted, while the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) remains at 0.00%, signalling no dividend distribution.
Valuation and Shareholder Structure
Despite the subdued financial results, AG Ventures is trading at a Price to Book Value ratio of 0.5, which is considered expensive relative to its peers’ historical valuations. The company’s ROE of 2.3 in the latest period further emphasises the valuation premium. The debt-to-equity ratio remains low at 0.03 times on average, suggesting limited leverage on the balance sheet. Promoters continue to hold the majority shareholding in the company.

Comparative Market Performance
While AG Ventures has faced a downward trajectory, the broader market environment has been relatively positive. The Sensex has recorded a three-week consecutive rise, accumulating gains of 2.88%. The index’s positioning above its 50-day moving average, which itself is above the 200-day moving average, reflects a bullish trend. Mid-cap stocks have been particularly strong, with the BSE Mid Cap index advancing by 1.32% on the day AG Ventures hit its 52-week low.
This divergence highlights the stock’s relative weakness within the Commodity Chemicals sector and the wider market. The sector itself has not matched the broader market’s momentum, with AG Ventures underperforming its peers and the benchmark indices.
