Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 3 Feb 2026, Contil India Ltd’s share price slipped to Rs.19.85, the lowest level recorded in the past year. This decline comes after two consecutive days of losses, with the stock falling by 3.53% over this period. The day’s performance saw the stock underperform its sector by 3.64%, while the broader Finance/NBFC sector gained 3.18%. The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum.
In contrast, the Sensex, despite losing momentum after a gap-up opening, remains near its 52-week high, closing at 83,997.53 points, just 2.57% shy of its peak at 86,159.02. Mega-cap stocks have been leading the market rally, contributing to the Sensex’s 2.85% gain on the day. However, Contil India Ltd’s performance diverges sharply from this broader market strength.
Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
Contil India Ltd’s financial indicators reflect challenges that have weighed on investor sentiment. The company reported flat results in the quarter ending September 2025, with PBDIT at a low of Rs.0.21 crore and operating profit to net sales ratio at 2.46%, the lowest in recent periods. Profit before tax excluding other income also stood at a modest Rs.0.20 crore.
Over the past year, the stock has generated a negative return of 42.09%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s positive 8.82% return. This underperformance extends over longer periods as well, with the stock lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Long-term fundamental strength remains weak, as reflected in an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.95%. Despite this, the stock’s valuation appears attractive, trading at a Price to Book Value of 2.7, which is below the average historical valuations of its peers. The company’s ROE of 18.7 further supports this valuation perspective, although profit levels have declined by 8.5% over the past year.

Shareholding and Sectoral Positioning
The majority of Contil India Ltd’s shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may contribute to the stock’s volatility and price sensitivity. The company operates within the Trading & Distributors sector, which has seen mixed performance relative to other sectors such as Finance/NBFC, which has recorded gains recently.
Despite the sector’s overall activity, Contil India Ltd’s stock has not benefited from broader market trends, as evidenced by its continued decline and failure to maintain levels above key moving averages.
Comparative Performance and Market Sentiment
Contil India Ltd’s 52-week high was Rs.46.50, indicating a substantial drop of over 57% from its peak to the current 52-week low. This steep decline highlights the stock’s challenges in regaining investor confidence and market traction. The company’s Mojo Score stands at 26.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 27 May 2025, reflecting a deteriorated outlook based on fundamental and technical factors.
The Market Cap Grade is rated at 4, underscoring the company’s relatively modest market capitalisation compared to larger peers. The stock’s day change of -0.29% on the latest trading session adds to the negative momentum.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Contil India Ltd’s stock has experienced a significant decline to Rs.19.85, its lowest in 52 weeks, driven by subdued financial results and a lack of upward price momentum. The company’s average ROE of 12.95% and recent quarterly figures indicate limited profitability, while the stock’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a discount relative to peers.
Despite the broader market’s positive performance, particularly among mega-cap stocks and the Finance/NBFC sector, Contil India Ltd remains under pressure. The stock’s technical indicators, including its position below all major moving averages, reinforce the current downtrend.
Investors and market participants will note the company’s Mojo Grade of Strong Sell and the ongoing negative returns over the past year, which contrast sharply with the Sensex’s gains. The shareholding structure dominated by non-institutional investors may also influence the stock’s price dynamics.
Conclusion
Contil India Ltd’s fall to a 52-week low of Rs.19.85 reflects a combination of financial underperformance and market factors that have weighed on the stock’s valuation and price action. While the stock’s valuation metrics indicate some attractiveness relative to peers, the prevailing trend remains subdued, with the company yet to demonstrate a reversal in its recent performance trajectory.
