Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
DE Nora India Ltd’s financial trajectory over recent years has been subdued. The company’s operating profit has declined at an annualised rate of -184.07% over the last five years, reflecting a contraction in core profitability. This trend is further underscored by a significant fall in profits of -85.5% over the past year, contributing to the stock’s underperformance relative to the BSE500 index across multiple time horizons, including the last three years, one year, and three months.
The company’s risk profile is elevated, with a Mojo Score of 31.0 and a Mojo Grade of Sell, downgraded from Strong Sell as of 16 Apr 2025. This grading reflects concerns over the company’s earnings volatility and valuation risks. Despite this, DE Nora India Ltd maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating a conservative capital structure with minimal leverage.
Recent quarterly results have shown some positive developments. The company reported net sales of Rs.63.81 crores over the latest six months, representing a growth rate of 106.57%. Quarterly PBDIT reached a high of Rs.4.02 crores, while PBT less other income stood at Rs.3.51 crores, marking the highest levels in recent quarters. These figures suggest some operational improvements, although they have not yet translated into a sustained recovery in the stock price.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, DE Nora India Ltd’s stock has declined sharply to Rs.610.05, its lowest level in 52 weeks, reflecting a combination of subdued earnings growth, valuation pressures, and broader market headwinds. The stock’s performance contrasts with the Sensex’s relative resilience, underscoring company-specific challenges. While recent quarterly sales and profit figures have shown improvement, the stock remains below all major moving averages and carries a Sell grade from MarketsMOJO, indicating ongoing caution among market participants.
Investors monitoring the Electrodes & Refractories sector will note that DE Nora India Ltd’s current market capitalisation grade stands at 4, reflecting its mid-tier size within the industry. The company’s conservative debt profile and promoter backing provide some stability amid volatility, but the stock’s recent price action highlights the need for careful analysis of financial trends and market conditions.
