Recent Price Movement and Market Context
The stock’s fall to Rs.1449.6 represents a notable retreat from its 52-week high of Rs.2165, reflecting a loss of approximately 32.9% over the past year. This decline contrasts sharply with the broader market, where the Sensex has delivered an 8.37% gain over the same timeframe. However, the Sensex itself has experienced a three-week consecutive fall, losing 3.19%, and closed today at 83,030.09, down 0.65% from the previous session.
C.E. Info Systems Ltd’s share price currently trades below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. This technical positioning underscores the stock’s struggle to regain upward traction amid prevailing market pressures.
Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
The company’s recent quarterly financials reveal several headwinds. Profit After Tax (PAT) for the latest quarter stood at Rs.18.51 crore, marking a sharp decline of 53.0% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Net sales also contracted by 5.9% to Rs.113.77 crore in the same period, indicating a slowdown in revenue generation.
Additionally, the Debtors Turnover Ratio for the half-year period is at a low 2.83 times, suggesting slower collection cycles which may impact liquidity. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a strong Return on Equity (ROE) of 17.5%, reflecting efficient utilisation of shareholder funds.
Valuation-wise, C.E. Info Systems Ltd is trading at a Price to Book Value of 9.7, which is considered expensive relative to its peers’ historical averages. The company’s PEG ratio stands at 7.5, indicating that earnings growth has not kept pace with its valuation, a factor that may weigh on investor sentiment.

Long-Term Performance and Market Position
Over the past year, the stock has generated a negative return of 12.22%, underperforming the Sensex by a significant margin. This underperformance extends to longer periods as well, with the stock lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. Such sustained underperformance highlights the challenges faced by the company in maintaining market confidence.
Despite these setbacks, the company’s management efficiency remains commendable, as evidenced by a high ROE of 18.73%. Furthermore, the firm maintains a conservative capital structure with an average Debt to Equity ratio of zero, indicating minimal reliance on debt financing.
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, which may provide some stability in governance and strategic direction.

Sector and Market Environment
C.E. Info Systems Ltd operates within the Software Products industry, a sector that has witnessed varied performance across companies in recent months. While the broader market indices such as the Sensex have shown resilience, the stock’s relative weakness is notable. The Sensex’s current position, trading below its 50-day moving average but with the 50DMA above the 200DMA, indicates a mixed technical outlook for the market at large.
The stock’s recent outperformance relative to its sector by 0.57% on the day of the new low suggests some defensive characteristics, though the overall trend remains downward.
Summary of Key Metrics
To encapsulate, C.E. Info Systems Ltd’s stock price has declined to Rs.1449.6, its lowest level in 52 weeks, following a three-day losing streak. The company’s quarterly PAT has fallen by over half compared to recent averages, and net sales have contracted. Despite a strong ROE and zero debt, valuation metrics remain elevated, and the stock has underperformed major indices over multiple time horizons.
This combination of financial results, valuation concerns, and technical indicators has contributed to the stock’s current standing and the recent downgrade in its Mojo Grade from Sell to Strong Sell as of 30 December 2025, with a Mojo Score of 28.0.
