Financial Metrics and Business Performance
Celebrity Fashions’ financial data over recent years reveals several challenges. Net sales for the nine-month period stand at Rs.134.70 crores, reflecting a decline of 20.79% compared to prior periods. Operating cash flow for the year is reported at Rs.3.07 crores, marking the lowest level recorded.
Interest expenses for the nine-month period total Rs.4.84 crores, showing an increase of 28.72%, which adds to the financial burden on the company. The average debt-to-equity ratio is 5.27 times, indicating a high level of leverage relative to equity capital.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) averages 8.30%, suggesting limited profitability generated per unit of total capital invested, including both equity and debt. Operating profit has shown a negative trend over the last five years, with an annual rate of change of -238.89%, while net sales have declined at an annual rate of -3.86% during the same period.
Profitability and Earnings Trends
The company has reported negative results for nine consecutive quarters, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) remaining in negative territory. Over the past year, profits have declined by 21.4%, further underscoring the financial pressures faced by Celebrity Fashions.
Such persistent losses and declining sales have contributed to the stock’s risk profile, which is considered elevated compared to its historical valuation averages.
Shareholding and Market Risks
Promoter shareholding in Celebrity Fashions includes a significant proportion of pledged shares, with 77.75% of promoter shares currently pledged. This high level of pledged shares can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price, particularly in falling markets, as it may lead to forced selling or increased market uncertainty.

Sector and Industry Considerations
Operating within the garments and apparels sector, Celebrity Fashions faces a competitive environment where growth and profitability metrics have been subdued. The sector itself has seen mixed performance, but Celebrity Fashions’ results have lagged behind both sector averages and broader market indices.
While the Sensex maintains a position near its 52-week high and trades above key moving averages, Celebrity Fashions remains below all major moving averages, reflecting a divergence from the broader market trend.
Summary of Key Challenges
The stock’s fall to Rs.8.16, its lowest level in a year, is a culmination of several factors including declining sales, rising interest costs, negative earnings over multiple quarters, and a high debt burden. The substantial proportion of pledged promoter shares adds to the stock’s vulnerability in volatile market conditions.
These elements have contributed to a consistent pattern of underperformance relative to benchmark indices and sector peers over the past three years.
Conclusion
Celebrity Fashions’ current stock price reflects ongoing challenges in its financial and operational metrics. The new 52-week low underscores the pressures faced by the company within the garments and apparels sector amid a broader market environment that has remained relatively resilient. Investors and market participants continue to monitor the stock’s trajectory as it navigates these headwinds.
