Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the last year, C.E. Info Systems Ltd has delivered a total return of -30.66%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex’s 9.60% gain. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.2165, highlighting the extent of the recent decline.

Valuation and Efficiency Indicators

Debt levels remain minimal, with an average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating a conservative capital structure. Promoters continue to hold a majority stake in the company, maintaining significant control over strategic decisions.

In addition to underperforming the Sensex, C.E. Info Systems Ltd has lagged behind the BSE500 index over multiple time frames, including the last three years, one year, and three months.

The company’s financial results show contraction in profits and sales, while valuation remains elevated with a price-to-book ratio of 7.6. Despite strong management efficiency indicated by an ROE of 17.5% and a debt-free balance sheet, the stock has underperformed both sector peers and broader market indices over the past year and longer time frames.
