Financial Performance and Fundamental Indicators
Bharat Immunological & Biological Corporation Ltd’s financial metrics reveal challenges that have contributed to the stock’s decline.

Operating cash flow for the year was reported at ₹0 million, the lowest level recorded, highlighting liquidity constraints. The company’s debt-equity ratio surged to 83.16% in the half-year period, reflecting increased leverage and potential difficulties in servicing debt obligations.

Valuation and Risk Considerations
The stock is currently trading at valuations that are considered risky relative to its historical averages. Profitability has declined by 42.4% over the past year, compounding concerns about the company’s earnings quality and sustainability. The high leverage and absence of recent financial disclosures contribute to an elevated risk profile. These factors have been reflected in the stock’s Strong Sell rating and the downward revision of its Mojo Grade.
Despite the broader market volatility and sectoral pressures, Bharat Immunological & Biological Corporation Ltd’s share price decline to Rs.16.76 marks a notable low point in its recent trading history. The stock’s performance metrics and financial indicators suggest ongoing challenges that have influenced market valuation and investor perception.
Summary
Bharat Immunological & Biological Corporation Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.16.76 amid a combination of weak financial results, increased leverage, and subdued sector performance. The company’s lack of recent financial disclosures and deteriorating sales and profitability metrics have contributed to its underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers. The stock’s current ratings reflect these challenges, with a Strong Sell grade and a Mojo Score of 3.0. Market conditions remain cautious, with the broader index also experiencing declines, but Bharat Immunological’s specific financial and operational factors have been the primary drivers of its recent price weakness.
