Mojo Score and Rating Update
Arkade Developers Ltd currently holds a Mojo Score of 40.0, which corresponds to a Sell grade. This represents a downgrade from its previous Hold rating, effective from 03 Nov 2025. The company’s market capitalisation grade stands at 3, reflecting its mid-tier size within the realty sector.
The downgrade aligns with the stock’s ongoing price weakness and below-par performance metrics, signalling a cautious stance from rating agencies.
Financial Performance and Growth Metrics
Despite the stock’s price decline, some financial indicators show pockets of strength. The company reported quarterly net sales of Rs.263.65 crores, representing a robust 47.1% growth compared to the previous four-quarter average. Profit before depreciation, interest, and tax (PBDIT) reached a quarterly high of Rs.63.21 crores, while profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) also hit a peak at Rs.60.40 crores.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at a respectable 18.4%, and the enterprise value to capital employed ratio is 2.3, suggesting a fair valuation relative to the company’s capital base. Over the past year, profits have increased by 28%, despite the stock’s negative return of 24.08%.
Debt and Capital Structure
Arkade Developers Ltd maintains a strong capacity to service its debt, with a low debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.55 times. This indicates a manageable leverage position, which could provide some stability amid the stock’s price volatility.
Long-Term Growth and Market Participation
One of the factors contributing to the stock’s subdued performance is its modest long-term growth. Net sales have grown at an annual rate of 7.60% over the last five years, which is considered below average for the realty sector. Furthermore, domestic mutual funds hold no stake in the company, a notable point given their capacity for detailed research and selective investment. This absence may reflect a lack of conviction in the company’s business prospects or valuation at current price levels.
The stock has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, reinforcing the narrative of below-par returns relative to broader market benchmarks.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Arkade Developers Ltd’s stock has reached a historic low of Rs.122.55, reflecting a sustained period of underperformance across multiple time horizons. The company’s financials show mixed signals, with strong quarterly profit growth and a solid debt servicing ability contrasting with modest long-term sales growth and lack of institutional backing from domestic mutual funds.
The stock’s downgrade to a Sell rating and its trading below all major moving averages underscore the challenges faced in regaining investor confidence. While the company maintains a fair valuation and healthy profitability metrics, the market’s response has been subdued, as evidenced by the stock’s relative weakness against sector and benchmark indices.
Market Context and Sector Comparison
Within the realty sector, Arkade Developers Ltd’s performance has lagged behind peers and broader market indices. The Sensex’s positive returns over the last year and significant gains over longer periods highlight the stock’s relative underperformance. This divergence emphasises the importance of sector and market context when analysing individual stock movements.
Overall, the stock’s current position at an all-time low marks a critical juncture in its market journey, reflecting a combination of valuation pressures, growth limitations, and investor sentiment.
