Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 1 Feb 2026, Ansal Properties & Infrastructure Ltd recorded its lowest price in the past year at Rs.2.94, continuing a downward trajectory that has seen the stock lose 65.86% over the last 12 months. This contrasts sharply with the Sensex, which has delivered a positive return of 7.48% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.9.48, highlighting the extent of the decline.
Despite the broader market showing resilience, with the Sensex opening 119.19 points higher and currently trading at 82,501.84 (up 0.28%), Ansal Properties remains under pressure. The Sensex is nearing its 52-week high of 86,159.02, just 4.43% away, supported by gains in mega-cap stocks. However, Ansal Properties is trading below all key moving averages – 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day – indicating a persistent bearish trend.
Financial Performance and Credit Metrics
The company’s financial health continues to raise concerns. Ansal Properties has not declared results in the last six months, contributing to uncertainty around its long-term fundamentals. The debt servicing capacity is notably weak, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 12.84 times, signalling significant leverage and potential difficulties in meeting financial obligations.
Moreover, the company has reported losses and currently holds a negative net worth. This situation implies that either fresh capital infusion or a turnaround in profitability is necessary for the company to maintain its operations sustainably. The negative EBITDA and the reported 12483% decline in profits over the past year further underline the financial strain.

Promoter Shareholding and Market Risks
Another factor contributing to the stock’s pressure is the high level of pledged promoter shares, which stands at 72.38%. In a declining market environment, such a high pledge percentage can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price, as any margin calls or forced sales could exacerbate volatility.
The stock’s valuation is considered risky compared to its historical averages, reflecting the market’s cautious stance. Over the last three years, Ansal Properties has consistently underperformed the BSE500 benchmark, reinforcing the challenges faced by the company in regaining investor confidence.
Recent Sales and Profitability Trends
Despite the overall negative outlook, some recent quarterly figures show growth in certain operational metrics. Net sales for the nine months ended stood at ₹5,776.5 million, representing a growth of 41.72%. Pre-tax profit for the quarter was ₹62.2 million, up 114.78%, while net profit for the quarter increased by 118.77% to ₹73.71 million. These figures suggest pockets of improvement in revenue generation and profitability on a quarterly basis, although they have yet to translate into a sustained recovery in the stock price or overall financial health.

Sector and Market Position
Ansal Properties operates within the Realty sector, which has seen mixed performance amid broader economic conditions. While the Sensex and mega-cap stocks have shown strength, smaller realty companies like Ansal Properties have struggled to keep pace. The company’s Mojo Score currently stands at 23.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 25 Aug 2025, reflecting the deteriorated fundamentals and market sentiment.
The Market Cap Grade is 4, indicating a relatively small market capitalisation compared to larger peers, which can contribute to higher volatility and liquidity concerns.
Technical Indicators and Recent Price Action
Technically, the stock has been in a downtrend, trading below all major moving averages, which often signals continued bearish momentum. However, after five consecutive days of decline, the stock has shown a slight gain today, with a day change of 0.34%, moving in line with the Realty sector’s performance. This minor uptick, however, has not yet altered the overall negative trend.
The persistent trading below the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages suggests that the stock remains under pressure from a technical standpoint, with resistance levels likely to be encountered on any upward movement.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Ansal Properties & Infrastructure Ltd’s stock has reached a new 52-week low of Rs.2.94 amid ongoing financial and market challenges. The company’s high leverage, negative net worth, and significant promoter share pledging contribute to the cautious market stance. While recent quarterly sales and profit growth provide some positive signals, these have yet to translate into a broader recovery in the stock’s performance.
The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and BSE500 over multiple years, combined with its current technical positioning, underscores the difficulties faced by the company in regaining momentum within the Realty sector.
