Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On 20 Jan 2026, Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd opened with a gap down of 6.3%, continuing a three-day losing streak that has resulted in a cumulative decline of 6.63%. The stock’s intraday low of Rs.41.06 represents a new 52-week trough, down substantially from its 52-week high of Rs.156.65. This latest fall also saw the stock underperform its sector by 3.46% on the day.
Trading below all key moving averages — including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages — the stock’s technical indicators signal sustained bearish momentum. This contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex, despite a recent three-week decline of 3.39%, remains approximately 3.99% below its own 52-week high of 86,159.02 points.
Long-Term Performance and Fundamental Assessment
Over the past year, Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd has delivered a negative return of 64.10%, markedly underperforming the Sensex’s positive 7.54% gain during the same period. This underperformance extends beyond the last 12 months, with the stock lagging the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
The company’s long-term fundamentals have also shown signs of strain. Operating profits have contracted at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -11.17% over the last five years, indicating a persistent decline in core earnings. Return on Equity (ROE) averaged 6.14%, reflecting modest profitability relative to shareholders’ funds.

Quarterly and Half-Year Financial Indicators
The company’s latest quarterly net sales stood at Rs.19.23 crores, reflecting a sharp decline of 25.5% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. This contraction in sales volume has contributed to the pressure on earnings and cash flows.
Operating cash flow for the year has reached a low of Rs.-14.40 crores, underscoring challenges in generating positive cash from core activities. Additionally, the debtors turnover ratio for the half-year period is at a low of 2.45 times, indicating slower collection cycles and potential liquidity constraints.
Valuation and Relative Positioning
Despite the subdued financial performance, Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd exhibits an attractive valuation profile. The company’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 7.1%, and it trades at an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 0.8, suggesting a discount relative to its capital base.
This valuation discount extends to comparisons with peer companies, where Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd is trading below average historical multiples. Notably, while the stock price has declined by over 64% in the past year, reported profits have increased by 14.4%, indicating some divergence between earnings and market valuation.
Market Sentiment and Institutional Participation
Institutional investors have marginally increased their holdings in the company, raising their stake by 0.93% over the previous quarter to a collective 5.93%. This uptick in institutional participation suggests a degree of confidence in the company’s fundamentals relative to retail investor activity.

Mojo Score and Rating Update
According to MarketsMOJO’s latest assessment dated 13 Nov 2025, Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd holds a Mojo Score of 14.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating. This reflects the company’s weak long-term fundamental strength and subdued profitability metrics, despite some valuation appeal.
The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 4, indicating a relatively small market cap within its sector. The day’s price change of -4.15% further emphasises the ongoing downward pressure on the stock.
Sector and Broader Market Comparison
Operating within the Commercial Services & Supplies sector, Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd’s recent underperformance contrasts with the broader market’s mixed signals. The Sensex, while experiencing a three-week decline, remains closer to its 52-week high and trades above its 200-day moving average, suggesting a more resilient market environment overall.
The sector itself has seen varied performance, with Dhruv Consultancy Services Ltd’s stock lagging behind sector averages and broader indices, highlighting company-specific factors influencing its price trajectory.
