Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 24 Nov 2025, Balaji Amines’ share price reached an intraday low of Rs.1088.6, marking the lowest level in the past year. The stock has been on a downward trajectory for two consecutive sessions, accumulating a return of -7.5% over this period. Today’s decline of -4.82% notably outpaced the specialty chemicals sector’s fall of -2.05%, indicating a sharper correction in Balaji Amines relative to its peers.
The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This technical positioning suggests sustained selling pressure and a lack of short-term momentum. In comparison, the broader market, represented by the Sensex, opened positively but reversed to close down by -0.39%, trading at 84,900.71 points. The Sensex remains close to its 52-week high of 85,801.70, supported by bullish moving averages, with the 50-day average above the 200-day average.
Performance Over the Past Year
Balaji Amines’ one-year performance shows a decline of -43.78%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex’s gain of 7.31% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.2118, indicating a significant reduction in market valuation. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, as the stock has consistently lagged behind the BSE500 index in each of the past three annual periods.
Financial Metrics and Operational Indicators
Several financial indicators highlight the challenges faced by Balaji Amines. Operating profit has shown a negative compound annual growth rate of -2.57% over the last five years, reflecting subdued long-term growth. The company has reported negative results for six consecutive quarters, signalling persistent earnings pressure.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for the half-year period stands at 10.39%, one of the lowest levels recorded. Inventory turnover ratio is also at a low of 4.59 times, suggesting slower movement of stock relative to previous periods. Cash and cash equivalents have contracted to Rs.186.08 crores, indicating a tighter liquidity position compared to historical levels.

Valuation and Shareholder Composition
Balaji Amines carries a price-to-book value of 2, which is considered high relative to its peers’ historical averages. The company’s return on equity (ROE) is recorded at 7.7%, which, when combined with the valuation, suggests a premium pricing despite the subdued earnings growth.
Domestic mutual funds hold a relatively small stake of 0.26% in the company. Given their capacity for detailed research and on-the-ground analysis, this limited exposure may reflect a cautious stance towards the stock’s current valuation and business outlook.
Debt and Financial Stability
One notable aspect of Balaji Amines’ financial profile is its low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03 times. This indicates a conservative capital structure with minimal reliance on debt financing, which may provide some cushion amid earnings pressures.

Sector and Market Dynamics
The specialty chemicals sector, in which Balaji Amines operates, has experienced a decline of -2.05% today, reflecting broader headwinds. While the sector’s performance is negative, Balaji Amines’ sharper fall indicates company-specific factors contributing to the stock’s weakness.
Despite the overall market’s proximity to a 52-week high, Balaji Amines’ stock has not participated in this upward trend. The divergence between the company’s stock performance and the benchmark indices highlights the challenges faced by the firm in maintaining investor confidence and market valuation.

The stock’s recent two-day return of -7.5% and today’s intraday low of Rs.1088.6 represent significant downward movement. The company’s financial indicators, including operating profit trends, ROCE, inventory turnover, and cash reserves, illustrate ongoing pressures. Meanwhile, the stock trades below all major moving averages and has underperformed both its sector and the broader market indices over the last year.
These factors collectively provide a comprehensive view of the current state of Balaji Amines’ stock and its position within the specialty chemicals sector and the wider market environment.
