On 8 December 2025, Bright Brothers touched Rs.259.6, its lowest price point in the past year. This level contrasts sharply with its 52-week high of Rs.495, indicating a substantial decline of nearly 47.5% from the peak. Despite this low, the stock has recorded a 3.36% return over the last three consecutive trading days and outperformed its sector by 2.19% on the day it hit the low.
In the broader market context, the Sensex opened flat but later declined by 602.88 points, or 0.81%, closing at 85,021.96. The benchmark index remains close to its 52-week high of 86,159.02, trading 1.34% below that peak. Notably, the Sensex is positioned above its 50-day moving average, which itself is above the 200-day moving average, signalling a generally bullish trend for the market overall.
Bright Brothers’ stock price currently sits above its 5-day moving average but remains below its 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, reflecting a mixed technical picture with short-term momentum contrasting longer-term downward trends.
Financial Performance and Profitability Indicators
Over the past year, Bright Brothers has underperformed the broader market significantly. While the BSE500 index has generated a modest return of 0.50%, Bright Brothers has recorded a negative return of 24.59%. This divergence highlights the stock’s relative weakness within its sector and the wider market.
Profitability metrics reveal challenges in generating returns on capital. The company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 8.13%, indicating limited profitability relative to the total capital invested. Similarly, the average Return on Equity (ROE) is 5.34%, suggesting modest returns for shareholders’ funds.
Debt servicing capacity appears constrained, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.15 times, signalling a relatively high level of debt compared to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation. The debt-equity ratio at the half-year mark is 0.82 times, reflecting a leveraged capital structure.

Interest expenses for the nine-month period stood at Rs.7.48 crore, reflecting a growth of 21.04%. These figures indicate pressure on net profitability and increased financing costs.
Despite these challenges, Bright Brothers has demonstrated healthy long-term growth in net sales, which have expanded at an annual rate of 30.80%. Operating profit has shown a notable rise of 115.33%, suggesting operational improvements in core business activities.
Valuation and Comparative Metrics
Bright Brothers’ valuation metrics present a mixed picture. The company’s ROCE of 13.1% in a recent assessment period is more attractive than the average, and the Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio stands at 1.6, indicating a valuation discount relative to peers’ historical averages. The price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 0.3, reflecting the relationship between profit growth and valuation.
Over the past year, while the stock price has declined by 24.59%, profits have risen by 81.1%, highlighting a disconnect between earnings performance and market valuation.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Bright Brothers’ stock price at Rs.259.6 marks a significant low point in the past year, contrasting with a 52-week high of Rs.495. The stock’s recent short-term gains have not offset the broader downward trend over the year, with a total return of -24.59%.
