13 May: Sharp Gap Down and Earnings Shock
The stock opened sharply lower on 13 May at ₹457.15, down 5.89% on the day and reflecting an 8.21% gap down from the previous close. This decline was driven by market concerns and the release of Q4 FY26 results that revealed a staggering 84% plunge in profit. The intraday low touched ₹443.15, marking an 8.77% drop, before recovering slightly to close at ₹457.15. The Sensex, in contrast, gained 0.32% to 35,010.26, underscoring the stock’s relative weakness. Volume peaked at 424,191 shares, highlighting intense selling pressure.
The quarterly results showed profit after tax plummeting 64.9% to ₹26.44 crores compared to the average of the previous four quarters, while net sales contracted 23.27% to ₹1,163.67 crores over six months. Margins and efficiency ratios deteriorated, with ROCE falling to 6.35% and debtors turnover declining to 3.33 times, signalling operational challenges. Earnings per share hit a low of ₹0.51, further dampening sentiment.
14 May: Financial Struggles Continue Amid Valuation Shift
On 14 May, the stock declined further by 2.61% to ₹445.20, despite a slight improvement in its financial trend score. The company’s Mojo Grade remained at Sell with a score of 33.0, reflecting ongoing caution. Valuation metrics shifted from very expensive to expensive, with the P/E ratio easing to 89.42 and P/BV at 4.62, indicating a modest improvement in price attractiveness. However, the EV/EBITDA ratio remained elevated at 41.08, signalling persistent premium pricing despite weak fundamentals.
Comparatively, sector peers such as Ajanta Pharma and Wockhardt trade at lower multiples, highlighting Cohance’s stretched valuation. The stock’s year-to-date decline of 13.5% and one-year loss of 57.61% contrast sharply with the Sensex’s more moderate falls, emphasising the company’s underperformance. Volume moderated to 306,194 shares as investors digested the mixed signals.

This final decline came amid a Sensex drop of 0.36% to 35,236.50, indicating continued relative weakness. Trading volume fell to 118,840 shares, suggesting reduced investor participation as the stock settled near its weekly lows. The persistent downtrend reflects the market’s cautious stance given the company’s financial struggles and valuation concerns.
