Performance Analysis Over the Past Year
Over the last 12 months, EID Parry’s stock has underperformed significantly relative to the broader market. The company’s share price has declined by -25.40%, compared to the Sensex’s -10.33% return and the BSE500’s -4.60% return over the same period. This underperformance has contributed to the stock’s current valuation challenges and its recent downgrade by MarketsMOJO from a ‘Hold’ to a ‘Sell’ rating on 01 June 2026, with a Mojo Score of 47.0.
The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.1,246.45, highlighting the extent of the price erosion over the past year. Despite the negative price trend, the company’s fundamentals present a mixed picture, with some positive financial metrics contrasting the stock’s market performance.
Financial and Valuation Metrics
EID Parry maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01 times, reflecting a conservative capital structure. The company has reported positive quarterly results for the last four consecutive quarters, with a notable profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.145.08 crores, representing a growth of 355.4%. Return on equity (ROE) stands at 12%, indicating a fair level of profitability relative to shareholder equity.
The stock trades at a price-to-book value of 1.5, which is considered a fair valuation but is at a premium compared to its peers’ historical averages. The company’s price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 0.2, suggesting that earnings growth has outpaced the stock price decline over the past year. Despite these positive indicators, the stock’s market performance has not reflected the underlying profit growth.

Summary of Key Factors

Technical indicators largely suggest a bearish to neutral outlook, reinforcing the current subdued trading conditions.
