DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd Falls to 52-Week Low Amid Continued Downtrend

Stock Price Movement and Market Context

On 28 Jan 2026, DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd recorded a day change of -1.10%, underperforming its Capital Markets sector by 3.06%. The stock has been on a losing streak for two consecutive sessions, delivering a cumulative return of -1.94% over this period. Notably, the share price is trading below all key moving averages – 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day – signalling sustained bearish momentum.

In contrast, the broader market has shown resilience. The Sensex opened flat but gained 244.98 points to close at 82,137.34, a 0.34% increase. Despite trading below its 50-day moving average, the Sensex remains 4.9% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02, with mega-cap stocks leading the gains. This divergence highlights the relative weakness of DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd within the capital markets sector.

Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics

DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd’s one-year performance has been notably weak, with a total return of -43.06%, starkly contrasting the Sensex’s positive 8.22% return over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs 44.04, underscoring the extent of the decline.

The company’s long-term fundamentals remain under pressure. Its average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 9.89%, which is modest within the capital markets industry. Operating profit growth has been minimal, with an annualised increase of just 0.61%. Furthermore, the company has reported negative results for five consecutive quarters, reflecting ongoing challenges in profitability.

For the nine months ended recently, the Profit After Tax (PAT) was Rs 2.88 crores, representing a decline of 35.14%. Quarterly net sales have reached a low of Rs 6.61 crores, while earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter dropped to Rs 0.25, the lowest recorded in recent periods. These figures illustrate the subdued revenue generation and profitability trends that have weighed on investor sentiment.

Relative Performance and Peer Comparison

Over the last three years, DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd has consistently underperformed the BSE500 index, as well as its sector peers. The stock’s negative returns extend beyond the one-year horizon, reflecting persistent difficulties in regaining investor confidence. Despite this, the company’s valuation metrics present a mixed picture.

The stock trades at a Price to Book Value (P/BV) of 1.2, which is a premium relative to the average historical valuations of its peers. This premium valuation exists despite the company’s ROE declining to 5.9%, which is lower than its historical average. The valuation suggests that the market may be pricing in some residual value or potential, even as recent financial results have been disappointing.

Majority shareholding remains with non-institutional investors, indicating limited institutional backing during this period of decline.

Mojo Score and Analyst Ratings

DB (International) Stock Brokers Ltd currently holds a Mojo Score of 14.0, categorised as a Strong Sell. This represents a downgrade from its previous Sell rating, which was revised on 25 Oct 2024. The Market Cap Grade stands at 4, reflecting the company’s relatively modest market capitalisation within the capital markets sector.

The downgrade to Strong Sell aligns with the company’s deteriorating financial metrics and ongoing negative quarterly results. The Mojo Grade reflects a cautious stance based on quantitative analysis of the company’s fundamentals and price action.
