The broader market’s positive tone supported the stock’s initial rally, setting a bullish tone for the days ahead.
Steady Gains Amid Mixed Market Conditions
On 10 Feb, the stock continued its upward trajectory, closing at Rs.174.15, up 1.28%. The Sensex also advanced but at a slower pace of 0.25%. Despite a lower volume of 1,020 shares, the stock maintained momentum, reflecting sustained investor confidence. The following day, 11 Feb, saw a modest 0.32% gain to Rs.174.70, with a significant jump in volume to 9,974 shares, suggesting increased trading activity as the stock consolidated its gains.
Q3 FY26 Results Spark Significant Price Jump

The stock responded strongly, rising 4.84% to close at Rs.183.15, despite the Sensex declining by 0.56% that day. The volume of 1,237 shares traded was moderate but the price action was decisive, reflecting investor focus on the earnings beat.

Valuation Concerns Surface Despite Price Strength
On 13 Feb, Dhruva Capital Services Ltd extended its gains by 1.37% to close at Rs.185.65, marking the week’s high. However, this price strength came amid heightened concerns over valuation risks. The company’s price-to-earnings ratio remains negative at -21.65, reflecting its loss-making status, while the price-to-book value ratio stands at 2.54, indicating the stock trades at more than two and a half times its net asset value. The enterprise value to EBITDA multiple is elevated at 60.94, far exceeding industry norms.
These stretched valuation metrics contrast sharply with peers such as Satin Creditcare and SMC Global Securities, which trade at more reasonable multiples. The valuation shift to “very expensive” territory signals increased price risk, especially given the company’s weak return on equity of -11.73% and modest ROCE of 3.19%. This disconnect between price and fundamentals suggests caution despite the recent price rally.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Dhruva Capital Services Ltd demonstrated strong price appreciation of 11.67% over the week, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.54% decline. The Q3 FY26 profit surge was a key catalyst, driving investor optimism despite broader market weakness. The stock’s ability to maintain gains amid a falling benchmark index highlights its resilience and short-term strength.
Cautionary Signals: Despite the price rally, valuation metrics remain stretched with a negative P/E ratio and an EV/EBITDA multiple far above industry averages. The company’s negative ROE and modest ROCE raise concerns about sustainable profitability. The “very expensive” valuation grade and a mojo score of 27.0 with a Strong Sell rating underscore elevated price risk. Investors should be mindful of the disconnect between price and fundamentals, which could lead to volatility if operational improvements do not materialise.
Conclusion
Dhruva Capital Services Ltd’s week was characterised by a strong price rally fuelled by a profit surge in Q3 FY26, which overshadowed underlying fundamental weaknesses and valuation concerns. The stock outperformed the Sensex by a wide margin, closing at Rs.185.65 on 13 Feb 2026. However, the company’s stretched valuation multiples, negative earnings metrics, and weak returns on equity suggest that the current price levels carry heightened risk. While the short-term momentum is positive, the valuation disconnect and sector challenges warrant a cautious stance. Market participants should closely monitor upcoming financial disclosures and sector developments to assess whether the company can sustain its earnings growth and justify its premium valuation.
