Financial Metrics and Valuation
Recent financial data for Alphalogic Techsys reveals a mixed picture. The company’s net sales for the latest six months stand at Rs.28.24 crores, reflecting a contraction of 33.76% compared to the previous period. Despite this decline in sales, profits have shown a modest rise of 4.7% over the past year.
The company’s return on equity (ROE) is recorded at 9.9%, while the price-to-book value ratio is 8.1, suggesting a relatively high valuation compared to its book value. However, the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers’ average historical valuations, indicating some valuation adjustment in the market’s assessment of the company.
Alphalogic Techsys’s PEG ratio stands at 17.5, a figure that reflects the relationship between its price-to-earnings ratio and earnings growth rate, which may be considered elevated in comparison to typical benchmarks.
Operational and Efficiency Indicators
The company’s debtor turnover ratio for the half-year period is 4.20 times, which is among the lower levels observed, indicating a slower collection cycle for receivables. This metric can have implications for working capital management and cash flow.
On the balance sheet front, Alphalogic Techsys maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.04 times, signalling limited reliance on debt financing and a conservative capital structure.

Despite recent sales contraction, Alphalogic Techsys has demonstrated healthy long-term growth trends. Net sales have expanded at an annual rate of 60.38%, while operating profit has grown at a rate of 40.02% over the longer term. These figures suggest that the company has experienced substantial growth in its core business over previous years.

Summary of Market and Stock Dynamics
While the broader market indices have maintained a positive trajectory, Alphalogic Techsys’s stock has experienced a notable decline over the past year, culminating in the recent 52-week low of Rs.63.01. The stock’s position below all major moving averages reflects sustained downward momentum, despite short-term gains in the last two sessions.
Financial indicators reveal a contraction in recent sales alongside modest profit growth, with valuation metrics suggesting a relatively high price-to-book ratio but trading at a discount to peer averages. The company’s low debt levels and long-term growth rates in sales and operating profit provide additional context to its current market valuation.
Investors and market participants observing Alphalogic Techsys will note the divergence between the company’s recent stock performance and the broader market’s upward trend, underscoring the importance of analysing sector-specific and company-specific factors in the current market environment.
