Recent Price Movements and Market Context
On 23 Jan 2026, Akme Fintrade’s stock price fell by 3.14%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which recorded a marginal gain of 0.04% on the same day. This decline extends a four-day losing streak during which the stock has shed 11.5% of its value. Over the past week, the stock has declined by 11.94%, compared to a 1.47% drop in the Sensex, and over the last month, the stock has plunged 27.78%, far exceeding the Sensex’s 3.72% decline.
Longer-term trends are equally unfavourable. Over three months, Akme Fintrade’s stock has fallen 39.83%, while the Sensex has declined by only 2.62%. The one-year performance is particularly stark, with the stock losing 42.22% against the Sensex’s 7.61% gain. Year-to-date, the stock is down 22.45%, compared to a 3.38% fall in the Sensex.
Notably, the stock trades below all major moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — signalling persistent downward momentum. This technical positioning underscores the stock’s current weakness relative to its historical price levels.
Fundamental Assessment and Valuation Metrics
Akme Fintrade’s fundamental profile presents a mixed picture. The company has reported positive quarterly results for six consecutive quarters, with net sales reaching a quarterly high of ₹34.89 crores and PBDIT peaking at ₹27.33 crores. Profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) stood at ₹14.04 crores, reflecting a growth rate of 22.4% compared to the previous four-quarter average.
Despite these operational improvements, the company’s long-term financial strength remains subdued. The average Return on Equity (ROE) is 8.50%, which is considered weak for the sector. The current ROE of 9% is accompanied by a price-to-book value ratio of 0.6, indicating that the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers’ historical valuations. This valuation discount is consistent with the stock’s underperformance over the past year and longer periods.

Comparative Performance and Market Position
Akme Fintrade’s stock has consistently underperformed the BSE500 index over multiple time horizons, including the last three years, one year, and three months. While the Sensex has delivered a 35.12% return over three years and a remarkable 236.98% over ten years, Akme Fintrade’s stock has remained flat over the three- and five-year periods, indicating stagnation in shareholder value creation.
Despite the stock’s price decline, the company’s profits have increased by 79% over the past year, highlighting a divergence between earnings growth and market valuation. This disparity suggests that market sentiment and valuation metrics have not aligned with the company’s improving profitability.
The majority of Akme Fintrade’s shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may influence trading dynamics and liquidity considerations.

Mojo Score and Analyst Ratings
Akme Fintrade currently holds a Mojo Score of 32.0, categorised as a Sell rating. This represents a downgrade from its previous Hold rating as of 1 Dec 2025. The Market Capitalisation Grade stands at 4, reflecting the company’s relative size and market standing within the NBFC sector.
The downgrade in rating aligns with the stock’s sustained underperformance and weak long-term fundamentals, despite recent improvements in quarterly financial results.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Akme Fintrade’s stock is trading near its 52-week low, with a current price close to ₹4.97. The stock has underperformed the Sensex and its sector peers across all major time frames, including a 42.22% loss over the past year. The company’s financials show positive quarterly growth in sales and profits, yet the average ROE of 8.50% and valuation metrics indicate subdued long-term strength. The stock’s downgrade to a Sell rating and its position below all major moving averages underscore the challenges faced by the company in the current market environment.
Conclusion
Akme Fintrade’s recent all-time low in stock price reflects a combination of market pressures and fundamental factors. While quarterly results have shown improvement, the stock’s valuation and long-term performance metrics remain under pressure. The company’s position within the NBFC sector and its current market capitalisation grade further contextualise its standing among peers. Investors and market participants will continue to monitor the stock’s trajectory amid these prevailing conditions.
