The drop extended a two-day losing streak, with the stock down 2.59% cumulatively over this period.
The stock’s fall was driven by ongoing financial pressures, including a 69.1% decline in quarterly net sales to Rs.45.05 crore and a 65.4% drop in profit after tax to Rs.4.98 crore. Operating profit also fell sharply by 48.83%, marking the third consecutive quarter of negative results. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio deteriorated to 2.27 times, signalling tighter margins and increased financial strain.
Technically, the stock traded below all key moving averages (5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day), reinforcing the bearish momentum. The company’s Mojo Score remained at 29.0 with a Strong Sell rating, reflecting deteriorating fundamentals and market sentiment.

This came despite the Sensex advancing 0.22% to 36,266.59, underscoring the stock’s continued underperformance relative to the broader market.

30 January 2026: New 52-Week and All-Time Low Marks Week’s End
On the final trading day of the week, Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd’s stock fell further to a new 52-week and all-time low of Rs.89.85, closing at Rs.88.05, down 3.67% for the day. This decline extended the two-day losing streak to a cumulative 2.16%. The Sensex, in contrast, declined marginally by 0.22% to 36,185.03, highlighting the stock’s relative weakness.
The stock’s 52-week high of Rs.185.60 stands in stark contrast to the current price, reflecting a decline of over 51.6% in the past year. Despite the company’s attractive return on capital employed (ROCE) of 14.9% and healthy long-term operating profit growth of 51.41% annually, recent quarters have been marked by significant declines in sales and profitability, weighing heavily on investor sentiment.
Financial metrics remain subdued, with quarterly net sales down 69.1% and profit after tax down 65.4%. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio remains low at 2.27 times, indicating ongoing financial strain. The Mojo Score of 29.0 and Strong Sell rating reflect the comprehensive challenges facing the company.

Key Takeaways
Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd’s stock performance this week was marked by a clear downtrend, with the share price falling 5.98% despite a 1.62% gain in the Sensex. The stock’s decline to fresh 52-week and all-time lows highlights persistent financial and operational challenges.
Quarterly financial results reveal significant deterioration, with net sales down 69.1% and profit after tax down 65.4%, contributing to three consecutive quarters of negative earnings. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio of 2.27 times signals tighter margins and increased financial risk.
Technically, the stock remains below all key moving averages, underscoring sustained bearish momentum and lack of near-term support. The Mojo Score of 29.0 and Strong Sell rating reflect the market’s cautious stance.
Despite these challenges, the company’s long-term operating profit growth of 51.41% annually and ROCE of 14.9% indicate underlying capital efficiency and growth potential, though these positives have yet to translate into improved recent performance or stock price recovery.
Conclusion
The week ending 30 January 2026 was a difficult period for Deepak Builders & Engineers India Ltd, with the stock price declining sharply and hitting new lows amid weak financial results and negative market sentiment. While the broader market advanced, the stock’s underperformance highlights company-specific issues that continue to weigh on investor confidence.
Long-term growth metrics offer some optimism, but the immediate outlook remains challenging given the sustained declines in sales, profitability, and share price. The Strong Sell rating from MarketsMOJO encapsulates the cautious market view, signalling that the stock faces significant headwinds in the near term.
