Financial and Operational Indicators
Anjani Foods’ long-term financial performance has been subdued. The company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) over recent years stands at 5.99%, indicating limited efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Net sales have grown at an annualised rate of 10.86% over the last five years, while operating profit has increased at a slower pace of 6.15% annually.
Debt servicing capacity remains a concern, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of 1.36, suggesting limited cushion to cover interest expenses. The company reported flat quarterly results in September 2025, with earnings per share (EPS) at a low Rs.0.01, underscoring the muted profitability.
Profitability has also declined over the past year, with profits falling by 29.2%. This deterioration has contributed to the stock’s weak performance relative to the BSE500 index over one, three months, and three years.
Valuation Considerations
Despite the challenges, Anjani Foods exhibits some valuation attributes that may be considered attractive. The company’s ROCE of 8.5% and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2.6 suggest that the stock is trading at a discount relative to its historical peer valuations. This discount reflects the market’s cautious stance given the company’s recent performance and financial metrics.
The majority shareholding remains with promoters, maintaining a stable ownership structure.

Summary of Key Concerns
The stock’s recent decline to Rs.19.03 marks a new low point in a year-long downtrend, reflecting a combination of weak financial returns, subdued profit growth, and limited debt servicing capacity. The persistent trading below all major moving averages and the stock’s underperformance relative to sector and market indices highlight ongoing pressures.
Market volatility and broader sector weakness have compounded the stock’s challenges, with the FMCG sector facing headwinds as indicated by related indices also hitting lows. The company’s flat quarterly earnings and low EPS further illustrate the subdued near-term financial environment.
While valuation metrics suggest the stock is trading at a discount compared to peers, the fundamental indicators and recent price action underscore the cautious market sentiment surrounding Anjani Foods Ltd.
