30 December 2025: Stock Hits 52-Week and All-Time Low Amid Financial Strain
On 30 December 2025, Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd’s share price plunged to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.115, marking a significant milestone in its recent performance. This level also represented the stock’s all-time low, underscoring the severity of its downtrend. The price closed just 0.94% above this low, reflecting persistent selling pressure.
This decline came amid a broader cautious market environment, with the Sensex closing nearly flat at 37,135.83 (-0.01%). Despite the subdued market, Deepak Builders underperformed, falling 0.77% on the day and continuing a two-day losing streak that saw a cumulative loss of 2.85%. The stock’s 52-week high of Rs.202.95 stands in stark contrast, highlighting a depreciation of approximately 43.3% from that peak.
Technical indicators remain weak, with the stock trading below all key moving averages (5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day), signalling sustained bearish momentum. This technical positioning suggests ongoing selling pressure and limited near-term recovery prospects.
Financially, the company reported a steep 48.83% decline in operating profit for the quarter ended September 2025, with net sales down 69.1% to Rs.45.05 crores and profit after tax falling 65.4% to Rs.4.98 crores. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio deteriorated to 2.27 times, indicating tighter margins and increased financial strain. Institutional investors have reduced their stake by 1.09% to 2.78%, reflecting waning confidence.

31 December 2025: Modest Recovery Amid Market Gains
Following the sharp declines, the stock rebounded modestly on 31 December 2025, closing at Rs.117.35, up 1.25% on the day. This recovery coincided with a strong Sensex rally, which gained 0.83% to close at 37,443.41. The volume remained relatively low at 553 shares, indicating cautious trading activity.
Despite this uptick, the stock remained well below its previous highs and continued to reflect the underlying financial challenges. The slight bounce may have been driven by short-term technical buying or bargain hunting, but the broader downtrend remains intact given the weak fundamentals.
1 January 2026: Slight Decline on Low Volume
On 1 January 2026, Deepak Builders’ share price edged down slightly by 0.30% to Rs.117.00, on a volume of 603 shares. The Sensex continued its upward trajectory, gaining 0.14% to 37,497.10. The stock’s marginal decline amid a rising market suggests persistent investor caution and limited positive catalysts.
2 January 2026: Week Closes with Small Gain
The week ended on a somewhat positive note with the stock closing at Rs.117.90, up 0.77% on 2 January 2026. This gain was accompanied by a robust Sensex increase of 0.81% to 37,799.57, reflecting broader market strength. Trading volume rose to 1,165 shares, indicating slightly improved investor interest.
Despite this late-week recovery, the stock’s weekly performance remained negative, with a 1.21% decline from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.119.35. This contrasts sharply with the Sensex’s 1.35% weekly gain, highlighting the stock’s continued underperformance.

Key Takeaways
Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd’s share price performance this week was marked by a significant low point, hitting both a 52-week and all-time low on 30 December 2025. This reflects ongoing financial challenges, including a sharp decline in operating profit and net sales, as well as reduced institutional investor participation.
The stock’s technical indicators remain weak, trading below all major moving averages, signalling continued bearish momentum. Despite a modest recovery in the final two trading sessions, the stock underperformed the Sensex by nearly 2.56% over the week, highlighting its relative weakness.
Valuation metrics such as a return on capital employed of 14.9% and a low enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.2 suggest some underlying capital efficiency. However, these positives have not translated into recent profitability or price strength, as the company faces persistent operational and financial headwinds.
Conclusion
The week ending 2 January 2026 was challenging for Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd, with the stock declining 1.21% amid an all-time low and weak financial results. The company’s deteriorating profitability, declining institutional interest, and technical weakness have weighed heavily on investor sentiment. While some valuation metrics remain attractive, the near-term outlook remains subdued as the stock continues to lag the broader market. Market participants will be closely watching upcoming financial disclosures and sector developments for signs of stabilisation or recovery.
