Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the last year, Baba Arts has recorded a return of -45.16%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex’s positive return of 7.31% during the same period. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock consistently trailing the BSE500 index across the past three annual periods.
The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.15.14, indicating that the current price represents a decline of more than 53% from that peak. This wide gap highlights the extent of the stock’s downward trajectory over the past year.
From a valuation perspective, Baba Arts carries a Price to Book Value ratio of 1.4, which is considered expensive relative to its peers’ historical averages. The company’s Return on Equity (ROE) averaged 6.99% over recent years, with the latest figure at 4.5%, reflecting modest profitability per unit of shareholders’ funds.
Financial Health and Profitability Trends
Examining the company’s financial fundamentals reveals a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -18.81% in operating profits over the last five years. This negative growth rate points to a contraction in core earnings capacity over the medium term.
Additionally, the company’s ability to service its debt is limited, with an average EBIT to interest coverage ratio of 1.14. This ratio suggests that earnings before interest and taxes are only marginally sufficient to cover interest expenses, indicating potential financial strain.
Profitability has also been under pressure, with reported profits falling by 46% over the past year. Despite these challenges, the company posted positive results in the six months ending September 2025, with net sales at Rs.7.13 crores, PBDIT reaching Rs.0.34 crores, and PBT less other income at Rs.0.32 crores, marking the highest quarterly figures in recent periods.
Shareholding and Sector Position
Baba Arts operates within the Media & Entertainment industry and sector, where it faces competition from various peers. The majority shareholding is held by promoters, indicating concentrated ownership.
The stock’s recent performance contrasts with the broader sector trends, as it has underperformed its peers and the benchmark indices consistently. This divergence is reflected in the stock’s relative weakness compared to the sector’s overall movement.

Summary of Key Market Indicators
In summary, Baba Arts’ stock price has reached a significant low point at Rs.7.02, reflecting a sustained period of price weakness. The stock’s position below all major moving averages and its underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers underscore the challenges faced by the company in recent times.
Financial metrics reveal contraction in operating profits, limited debt servicing capacity, and modest returns on equity, all contributing to the current valuation and market sentiment. Despite some positive quarterly sales and earnings figures, the overall trend remains subdued.
Investors and market participants observing Baba Arts will note the contrast between the company’s performance and the broader market’s relative strength, as the Sensex remains near its 52-week high and trades above key moving averages.
