The stock price plunged 2.69% to Rs.6.15 on 8 January, with volume rising to 45,064 shares. This decline coincided with a significant Sensex fall of 1.41% to 37,137.33, reflecting broader market weakness. Akme Fintrade’s underperformance was notable as it fell further below its key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish technical outlook. The drop also intensified concerns about the company’s medium-term prospects.
9 January 2026: Akme Fintrade Hits 52-Week and All-Time Low
On the final trading day of the week, Akme Fintrade’s stock price fell sharply by 3.74% to close at Rs.5.92, marking both a 52-week low and an all-time low. The volume surged to 127,667 shares, indicating heightened selling activity. This decline outpaced the Sensex’s 0.89% fall to 36,807.62, underscoring the stock’s continued underperformance. The stock traded below all major moving averages, including the 200-day average, signalling sustained bearish momentum.
Despite the negative price action, the company reported positive financial results over the past six quarters, with net sales reaching Rs.34.89 crore and PBDIT at Rs.27.33 crore. Profit before tax excluding other income stood at Rs.14.04 crore, representing the highest quarterly levels to date. Profit growth over the past year was a robust 79%, yet this has not translated into share price gains, reflecting market scepticism.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Negative Price Momentum: Akme Fintrade’s stock declined 9.06% over the week, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 2.62% fall. The stock’s drop to a 52-week and all-time low highlights persistent bearish sentiment and technical weakness.
Financial Performance vs Market Reaction: Despite reporting six consecutive quarters of positive results with strong profit growth of 79% year-on-year, the stock price has not reflected these operational improvements, indicating a disconnect between fundamentals and market sentiment.
Valuation and Rating: The company trades at a Price to Book Value of 0.7 and has an average Return on Equity of 8.50%, both suggesting valuation discounts relative to peers. However, MarketsMOJO downgraded the stock to a 'Sell' rating with a Mojo Score of 32.0 on 1 December 2025, reflecting concerns about its long-term outlook.
Market and Sector Context: The broader market showed volatility with the Sensex declining moderately, but Akme Fintrade’s sharper fall indicates sector-specific or company-specific challenges. The majority non-institutional shareholding may contribute to increased volatility and price sensitivity.
Conclusion
Akme Fintrade (India) Ltd’s performance in the week ending 9 January 2026 was marked by a steep decline of 9.06%, culminating in a fresh 52-week and all-time low. While the company’s financial results demonstrate operational progress and improved profitability, the stock’s price action reveals sustained investor caution and bearish technical signals. The downgrade to a 'Sell' rating by MarketsMOJO further emphasises the tempered outlook on the stock’s medium-term prospects. Investors should note the divergence between improving fundamentals and market valuation, which may continue to influence trading dynamics in the near term.
