Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On 28 Nov 2025, Caprihans India’s share price recorded an intraday low of Rs.93, representing a fall of 4.47% on the day. This decline extends a four-day losing streak during which the stock has returned -4.19%. The stock’s performance today also lagged behind its sector peers by 1.86%, underscoring relative weakness within the plastic products industrial segment.
Caprihans India 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 indicates a persistent bearish trend over short, medium, and long-term horizons.
In contrast, the broader market has shown resilience. The Sensex opened flat but gained 0.17% to trade at 85,864.12, closing just 0.22% shy of its 52-week high of 86,055.86. The index remains above its 50-day moving average, which itself is positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a bullish market environment. Mega-cap stocks have been leading this upward momentum, highlighting a divergence between Caprihans India’s performance and the broader market trend.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Caprihans India’s stock has declined by 35.08%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s 8.63% gain during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.184, indicating that the current price represents a decline of almost 50% from that peak.
From a fundamental perspective, the company’s long-term financial indicators reveal challenges. Operating profits have shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -215.74% over the last five years, signalling a contraction in core earnings. The company’s ability to service debt is constrained, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 17.42 times, which is considerably high and suggests elevated leverage.
Profitability metrics also reflect subdued returns. The average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 2.51%, indicating limited profitability generated per unit of shareholders’ funds. These factors contribute to the stock’s current valuation being considered risky relative to its historical averages.

Quarterly Financial Results Highlighting Current Concerns
The company’s latest quarterly results further illustrate the pressures faced. Net sales for the quarter stood at Rs.174.77 crores, marking the lowest quarterly sales figure recorded. Profit after tax (PAT) was reported at a loss of Rs.24.89 crores, reflecting a decline of 91.2% compared to the previous four-quarter average.
Operating profit to interest coverage ratio for the quarter was 0.08 times, indicating minimal earnings available to cover interest expenses. This ratio is notably low and points to financial strain in managing debt obligations.
Comparative Performance and Risk Assessment
Caprihans India’s stock has underperformed not only the Sensex but also the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. Despite a 13.9% rise in profits over the past year, the stock’s returns have remained negative, highlighting a disconnect between earnings growth and market valuation.
The stock’s current trading levels are considered risky when compared to its average historical valuations, reflecting investor caution amid the company’s financial profile and sector dynamics.

Promoters have raised their stake by 1.24% over the previous quarter, now holding 55.99% of the company’s equity. This rise in promoter confidence is a notable development amid the company’s current market challenges.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Caprihans India’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.93, reflecting a sustained decline over recent sessions. The company’s financial indicators reveal contraction in operating profits over five years, high leverage, and limited profitability.

Despite these factors, promoter shareholding has increased, signalling confidence from within the company’s ownership.
