Easy Trip Planners Ltd Falls to 52-Week Low Amid Continued Underperformance

Stock Price Movement and Market Context

The stock has been on a downward trajectory, registering losses for four consecutive sessions and declining by 3.66% over this period. Today's closing price of Rs.6.83 represents both a fresh 52-week and all-time low for Easy Trip Planners Ltd, underscoring the sustained pressure on the share price. This decline occurred despite the broader market environment where the Sensex, after a flat opening, fell by 330.89 points or 0.44% to close at 82,876.49. Notably, the Sensex remains just 3.96% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, although it has experienced a three-week consecutive fall, losing 3.36% in that span.

Easy Trip Planners Ltd underperformed its sector by 0.45% on the day, and the stock is trading below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — indicating a bearish technical setup. This contrasts with the Sensex, which, while trading below its 50-day moving average, still has its 50-day average above the 200-day average, suggesting a more stable medium-term trend for the benchmark index.

Financial Performance and Profitability Trends

The company’s financial metrics reveal a challenging environment. Over the last five years, operating profit has declined at an annualised rate of 11.87%, reflecting a lack of sustained growth in core earnings. The most recent quarterly results, declared in September 2025, showed a steep 84.04% fall in operating profit, categorised as very negative by rating agencies. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of negative results, highlighting ongoing difficulties in profitability.

Profit after tax (PAT) for the latest six-month period stood at Rs.19.58 crore, down 66.44% compared to previous periods. Similarly, profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) for the latest quarter was a loss of Rs.-2.72 crore, a decline of 113.8% relative to the average of the preceding four quarters. Return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year was recorded at 7.90%, the lowest level observed, signalling diminished efficiency in capital utilisation.

Shareholding and Market Capitalisation Factors

Easy Trip Planners Ltd holds a Mojo Score of 31.0 and a Mojo Grade of Sell as of 19 Jan 2026, an improvement from a previous Strong Sell rating. The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 3, reflecting its small-cap status within the Tour and Travel Related Services sector.

Promoter shareholding dynamics have added to the stock’s downward pressure. Currently, 26.14% of promoter shares are pledged, a significant proportion that has increased by 15.16% over the last quarter. Elevated pledged shares often contribute to selling pressure during market downturns, as promoters may be compelled to liquidate holdings or face margin calls.

Comparative Performance and Valuation Metrics

Over the past year, Easy Trip Planners Ltd has delivered a total return of -51.21%, markedly underperforming the Sensex, which gained 7.51% over the same period. The stock has also consistently lagged behind the BSE500 index in each of the last three annual periods, indicating persistent relative weakness.

Despite these challenges, the company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, signalling a debt-free balance sheet. Its return on equity (ROE) stands at 7.9%, which, combined with a price-to-book value of 2.9, suggests an attractive valuation relative to peers. The stock is trading at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its sector counterparts.

Profitability has also contracted sharply, with profits falling by 57.3% over the past year, reinforcing the downward trend in earnings alongside the share price decline.

Summary of Key Metrics

To summarise, Easy Trip Planners Ltd’s stock has reached a new low of Rs.6.83, reflecting ongoing challenges in earnings and market sentiment. The company’s financial indicators reveal declining operating profits, negative quarterly results over five consecutive periods, and subdued returns on capital. While the balance sheet remains free of debt and valuation metrics suggest some relative attractiveness, the stock’s performance has been notably weaker than the broader market and sector benchmarks.

These factors collectively contribute to the current market valuation and the stock’s position below all major moving averages, signalling a cautious environment for the company’s shares.
