DJ Mediaprint & Logistics Falls to 52-Week Low of Rs.67.46 Amidst Sector Underperformance

The stock’s latest price point reflects a substantial drop from its 52-week high of Rs.212.10, representing a decline of over 68%. Over the last twelve months, DJ Mediaprint & Logistics has recorded a negative return of 45.24%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex’s positive performance of 9.72% during the same period. This divergence highlights the stock’s relative underperformance within the broader market context.

On the trading day when the new low was hit, DJ Mediaprint & Logistics outperformed its sector by 1.07%, despite the overall downward pressure on its share price. The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating sustained weakness in price momentum.

Market-wide, the Sensex opened 91.42 points higher but later declined by 179.09 points, settling at 84,863.28, which is approximately 0.1% lower on the day. The benchmark index remains close to its 52-week high of 85,290.06, trading just 0.5% below that level. Notably, the Sensex is positioned above its 50-day moving average, which itself is above the 200-day moving average, signalling a generally bullish trend for the broader market.

Examining the financial metrics of DJ Mediaprint & Logistics reveals several factors contributing to the stock’s subdued performance. The company’s operating profit has shown a compound annual growth rate of -1.49% over the past five years, indicating a contraction in profitability over the long term. Additionally, the operating cash flow for the most recent fiscal year was recorded at a negative Rs.6.58 crores, the lowest level in recent periods, which may reflect challenges in cash generation.

In terms of returns, the stock has underperformed not only the Sensex but also the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. This consistent underperformance across multiple time frames suggests persistent pressures on the company’s financial and market standing.

Despite these headwinds, DJ Mediaprint & Logistics demonstrates certain strengths in its financial structure. The company reports a high return on capital employed (ROCE) of 27.37%, indicating efficient use of capital in generating earnings. Furthermore, its debt servicing capacity appears robust, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.88 times, suggesting manageable leverage levels relative to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.

Valuation metrics also provide some context for the stock’s current pricing. The company’s ROCE of 12.7% aligns with a fair valuation, supported by an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 3. Compared to its peers, DJ Mediaprint & Logistics is trading at a discount relative to historical average valuations within the sector. Over the past year, while the stock price has declined by 45.10%, the company’s profits have increased by 7.7%, resulting in a price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio of 5.

The company’s majority shareholding remains with promoters, which may influence strategic decisions and long-term direction. The stock’s Mojo Score currently stands at 41.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell as of 21 April 2025, reflecting an adjustment in evaluation from a previous Hold grade. The trigger for the recent score revision was the 52-week low reached on 18 November 2025.

In summary, DJ Mediaprint & Logistics’ stock has experienced a notable decline to Rs.67.46, its lowest level in the past year. This movement is underpinned by subdued long-term growth in operating profit, negative operating cash flow, and consistent underperformance relative to market benchmarks. However, the company maintains strong capital efficiency and manageable debt levels, with valuation metrics indicating a discount compared to peers. The stock’s current trading below all major moving averages further illustrates the prevailing cautious sentiment in the market.
