Recent Price Movements and Market Context
The stock recorded a modest gain of 0.74% today, outperforming the Sensex’s 0.16% rise and the edible oil sector by 0.92%. This slight recovery follows four consecutive days of declines. However, AWL Agri Business Ltd continues to trade below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, underscoring the prevailing bearish momentum.
Over the past week, the stock has declined by 3.81%, compared to the Sensex’s 1.56% fall. The one-month performance shows a 4.51% drop against the benchmark’s 0.97% decrease. More notably, the three-month performance reveals a steep 25.91% fall, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 2.13% decline. The year-to-date return stands at -14.51%, while the one-year return is -14.03%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex’s positive 8.98% gain over the same period.
Longer-term trends are equally concerning. Over three years, AWL Agri Business Ltd’s stock has lost 51.32%, while the Sensex has appreciated by 34.96%. The five- and ten-year returns remain flat at 0.00%, compared to the Sensex’s robust 58.83% and 256.84% gains respectively.
Financial Performance and Profitability Metrics
The company’s financial results have mirrored its share price weakness. The latest six-month Profit After Tax (PAT) stands at ₹532.15 crore, reflecting a contraction of 26.25%. Profit Before Tax less Other Income (PBT less OI) for the latest quarter is ₹257.11 crore, down 11.2% compared to the previous four-quarter average. These declines highlight a challenging earnings environment.
Cash and cash equivalents at half-year end are reported at ₹1,641.59 crore, the lowest level recorded in recent periods. This reduction in liquidity may be a factor in the company’s cautious market positioning.

Shareholding and Promoter Activity
Promoter confidence appears to be waning, with a 7% reduction in promoter stake over the previous quarter. Currently, promoters hold 56.94% of the company’s shares. Such a decrease in promoter holding may be interpreted as a signal of diminished conviction in the company’s near-term prospects.
Valuation and Financial Ratios
Despite the subdued share price, AWL Agri Business Ltd maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03 times, indicating minimal leverage. The company’s return on equity (ROE) is 10.9%, which is moderate within the edible oil sector context. The stock trades at a price-to-book value of 2.6, suggesting a valuation discount relative to its peers’ historical averages.
However, profitability trends remain under pressure. Over the past year, profits have declined by 19.5%, further weighing on investor sentiment and market valuation.
Comparative Performance and Market Position
AWL Agri Business Ltd has consistently underperformed the BSE500 benchmark over the last three years. The stock’s negative returns contrast with the broader market’s positive trajectory, highlighting the company’s relative weakness within its sector and the wider market.
Its Mojo Score currently stands at 31.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, upgraded from a previous Strong Sell rating on 13 February 2026. The market capitalisation grade is rated at 3, reflecting the company’s mid-tier size within the edible oil industry.
