Jan 27: Q3 FY26 Results Highlight Margin Compression
Arex Industries Ltd released its Q3 FY26 financial results on 27 January, revealing a challenging quarter marked by margin compression despite stagnant revenue growth. The company’s operating profit margin contracted to 11.70%, reflecting increased cost pressures within its operations. The Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (PBDIT) stood at a subdued ₹1.52 crores, the lowest in recent quarters, signalling a significant squeeze on core profitability.
Despite these headwinds, the stock price remained unchanged at Rs.141.70, indicating a cautious market response amid broader positive momentum in the Sensex, which rose 0.50% that day to close at 35,786.84.
Jan 28: Negative Financial Trend Confirmed Amid Declining Performance
The following day, Arex Industries Ltd’s deteriorating financial condition was further underscored by reports detailing a marked decline in quarterly performance. The company’s Profit Before Tax (PBT) excluding other income plunged to ₹0.20 crores, highlighting a sharp erosion in earnings. This decline was accompanied by a downgrade in the company’s financial trend from flat to negative, with the MarketsMOJO grading system assigning a ‘Strong Sell’ rating and a Mojo Score of 23.0, reflecting heightened risk.
Despite the negative news, the stock price dipped marginally by 0.49% to Rs.141.00, while the Sensex surged 1.12% to 36,188.16, emphasising the stock’s relative weakness against the broader market rally.

MarketsMOJO Downgrade to Strong Sell: The downgrade to a ‘Strong Sell’ rating and a Mojo Score of 23.0 reflect increased risk and diminished confidence in the company’s near-term prospects.
Sector Headwinds: Operating in the Garments & Apparels sector, Arex Industries faces ongoing challenges including rising input costs and supply chain disruptions, which have contributed to margin pressures and subdued growth.
Stock Price Stability Despite Weak Results: The stock price remained largely flat after the initial dip, suggesting some investor caution but limited selling pressure in the short term.
Conclusion
Arex Industries Ltd’s performance this week was characterised by financial deterioration and margin pressures that weighed on investor sentiment. Despite a stable stock price on the first trading day, the company’s negative quarterly results and downgrade to a ‘Strong Sell’ rating contributed to its underperformance relative to the Sensex. The Garments & Apparels sector’s challenging environment further compounds the company’s difficulties, with limited near-term catalysts visible to reverse the negative trend. Investors should remain cautious given the subdued earnings and operational challenges highlighted during the week.
