Epack Durable Ltd Stock Falls to 52-Week Low of Rs.234.95

Stock Price Movement and Market Context

On 23 Jan 2026, Epack Durable Ltd opened with a positive gap of 2.7%, touching an intraday high of Rs.244.90. However, the stock reversed course to close at Rs.234.95, down 0.84% on the day. This closing price represents the lowest level the stock has traded at in the past 52 weeks, underscoring a persistent decline. Over the last seven trading sessions, the stock has recorded a cumulative loss of 12.97%, underperforming the Electronics & Appliances sector by 3.47% on the day.

In contrast, the Air Conditioners segment within the sector gained 2.99% today, highlighting the relative weakness of Epack Durable’s share price movement. The broader market, represented by the Sensex, opened flat and traded marginally lower by 0.01%, standing at 82,300.62 points, approximately 4.69% below its own 52-week high of 86,159.02. Mid-cap stocks showed modest strength, with the BSE Mid Cap index rising 0.27%.

Technical Indicators Signal Continued Weakness

Epack Durable is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This technical positioning suggests a sustained bearish trend with limited short-term momentum. The stock’s 52-week high stands at Rs.497.95, indicating a steep decline of over 52.7% from that peak.

Financial Performance and Fundamental Metrics

The company’s long-term financial indicators reveal challenges that have contributed to the stock’s decline. Epack Durable’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at a modest 6.14%, reflecting limited efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Over the past five years, net sales have grown at an annualised rate of 12.69%, while operating profit has increased by 8.76% annually, both figures indicating moderate growth but below sector averages.

Debt servicing capacity remains a concern, with a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.51 times, signalling elevated leverage and potential strain on cash flows. Interest expenses have risen significantly, with interest costs for the nine months ending December 2025 increasing by 24.15% to Rs.49.56 crores.

Recent Quarterly Results Highlight Profitability Pressures

In the December 2025 quarter, Epack Durable reported a Profit Before Tax (PBT) excluding other income of Rs.2.27 crores, a sharp decline of 73.6% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Net profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs.2.59 crores, down 74.7% over the same period. These results underscore the near-term pressures on profitability, which have weighed on investor confidence and share price performance.

Long-Term and Recent Returns Underperform Benchmarks

Over the last year, Epack Durable’s stock has delivered a negative return of 49.25%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which posted a positive return of 7.54% over the same period. The stock has also lagged behind the BSE500 index in the last three years, one year, and three months, reflecting persistent underperformance relative to broader market benchmarks.

Valuation and Institutional Participation

Despite the challenges, the stock’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a discount relative to its peers. The company’s Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio stands at 1.8, which may be considered attractive given the current fundamentals. However, profits have declined by 9.5% over the past year, indicating ongoing pressure on earnings.

Institutional investors have increased their stake by 1.43% in the previous quarter, now collectively holding 7.39% of the company’s shares. This increased participation reflects a degree of confidence from investors with greater analytical resources, although it has not yet translated into a reversal of the stock’s downward trend.

Mojo Score and Ratings

Epack Durable currently holds a Mojo Score of 14.0 with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, an upgrade from its previous Sell rating as of 25 Sep 2025. The Market Capitalisation Grade is rated at 3, indicating a relatively smaller market cap compared to larger peers. These ratings reflect the company’s ongoing challenges in financial performance and market valuation.

Summary of Key Metrics

To summarise, the stock’s 52-week low of Rs.234.95 is a culmination of subdued financial results, elevated leverage, and underwhelming returns relative to market benchmarks. The company’s declining profitability in recent quarters and its position below all major moving averages reinforce the current bearish sentiment. While institutional investors have marginally increased their holdings, the stock continues to face headwinds in both fundamental and technical dimensions.
