On 27 Nov 2025, DE Nora India opened with a gap down of 5.9%, touching an intraday low of Rs.651, which represents its lowest price point in the past year. This decline occurred despite the broader market's positive tone, with the Sensex opening 135.54 points higher and trading near its 52-week high of 85,801.70. The Sensex currently stands at 85,791.66, up 0.21%, supported by gains in mega-cap stocks and a three-week consecutive rise amounting to 3.09%.

Performance Overview Over the Past Year
The stock’s 1-year performance shows a return of -44.97%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s 6.95% gain over the same period. DE Nora India’s 52-week high was Rs.1,452, indicating a near 55% reduction in value from that peak to the current low. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock lagging behind the BSE500 index across 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months.

Financial Metrics and Profitability Trends
DE Nora India’s financial data over recent quarters reveals a mixed picture. The company has declared positive results for the last three consecutive quarters, with net sales for the latest six months recorded at Rs.63.81 crores, reflecting a growth rate of 106.57%. The quarterly PBDIT reached a peak of Rs.4.02 crores, while PBT excluding other income stood at Rs.3.51 crores, both representing the highest levels in recent periods.
However, the company’s long-term growth metrics indicate a contraction in operating profit at an annual rate of -184.07% over the past five years. Additionally, profits have fallen by 85.5% over the last year, contributing to the stock’s negative returns and signalling challenges in sustaining profitability.
Valuation and Risk Considerations
The stock is considered risky relative to its historical valuation averages. Its negative EBITDA and ongoing price decline highlight concerns about earnings quality and valuation sustainability. Despite these factors, the company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating minimal leverage on its balance sheet.
Promoters remain the majority shareholders, providing a degree of ownership stability amid the stock’s price fluctuations.
