B N Rathi Securities Hits New 52-Week Low at Rs. 18.28

B N Rathi Securities, a microcap player in the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector, has reached a new 52-week low of Rs. 18.28 today, marking a significant downturn for the stock. This decline comes as the company has reported negative financial results for the last four consecutive quarters, contributing to a year-over-year performance drop of 61.08%.
In comparison, the broader market, represented by the Sensex, has shown resilience, trading slightly positive at 84,478.67, just 0.96% shy of its 52-week high. B N Rathi Securities has notably underperformed its sector, lagging by 2.41% today and trading below its moving averages across various time frames, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages.

The company's financial metrics reflect ongoing challenges, with a reported profit after tax of Rs. 3.79 crore, down 49.87%, and a significant operating cash flow deficit of Rs. -22.63 crore. Despite these hurdles, B N Rathi Securities maintains a long-term return on equity of 15.21%, indicating some underlying fundamental strength. However, the stark contrast between its performance and that of the market raises questions about its current position in the financial landscape.
