The 52-week high for the stock was Rs.44.08, underscoring the magnitude of the decline from its peak.
Financial Metrics Highlighting Challenges

Credit Metrics and Valuation Considerations
Despite the challenges, Allcargo Logistics Ltd maintains a relatively strong ability to service its debt, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.50 times. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at 1.5%, which, while modest, contributes to an attractive valuation metric with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.4. This valuation places the stock at a discount relative to its peers’ historical averages, reflecting market caution given the company’s recent performance.
Profitability has also declined significantly, with profits falling by 59.5% over the past year, further weighing on investor sentiment and the stock’s market capitalisation grade, which is rated at 3. The company’s Mojo Score is 28.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell as of 19 January 2026, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating, signalling continued concerns about the stock’s outlook.
Shareholding and Sectoral Position
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, maintaining control over the company’s strategic direction. Operating within the Transport Services industry, the company faces sectoral headwinds that have contributed to its subdued performance relative to broader market indices and sector peers.

Summary of Key Performance Indicators
To summarise, Allcargo Logistics Ltd’s stock has declined sharply to Rs.9.06, its lowest level in 52 weeks and all time. The company’s financial results reveal a significant contraction in sales and profitability, with net sales down 76.1% in the latest quarter and a loss in PAT for the nine-month period. The stock’s long-term growth trajectory has been negative, with operating profit shrinking at nearly 40% annually over five years. Despite a manageable debt profile and attractive valuation metrics, the stock’s performance relative to the Sensex and sector peers has been consistently weak.
This combination of factors has culminated in a Strong Sell Mojo Grade, reflecting the market’s cautious stance on the stock’s near-term prospects. The stock’s current trading below all major moving averages further underscores the prevailing downward trend.
