Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 8 December 2025, Exicom Tele-Systems recorded its lowest price in the past 52 weeks at Rs.106.65. This level also represents an all-time low for the stock. The price has been on a downward trajectory, with the stock losing value for two consecutive days, resulting in a cumulative return of -2.46% over this period. Despite this, the stock marginally outperformed its sector by 0.31% on the day of the new low.
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. This contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex opened flat but later declined by 224.33 points, or 0.36%, closing at 85,400.51. Notably, the Sensex remains close to its 52-week high, just 0.89% shy of the peak level of 86,159.02, and is trading above its 50-day moving average, which itself is positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a generally bullish market environment.
Long-Term Performance Comparison
Over the past year, Exicom Tele-Systems has underperformed significantly compared to the broader market. The stock has generated a negative return of -62.67%, while the Sensex has recorded a positive return of 4.50% during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.290, highlighting the extent of the decline to the current low of Rs.106.65.
This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. Such a trend points to challenges in maintaining investor confidence and market valuation relative to peers in the heavy electrical equipment sector.

Financial Performance and Profitability Trends
Exicom Tele-Systems has reported negative results for five consecutive quarters, reflecting ongoing financial strain. The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) have been negative, contributing to a challenging profitability profile. Operating profit has shown a modest compound annual growth rate of 8.40% over the last five years, which is relatively low for the sector and insufficient to offset other financial pressures.
Interest expenses for the nine months ended have risen to Rs.43.77 crore, representing a growth rate of 54.50%. This increase in interest burden has weighed on the company’s profit before tax (PBT), which stood at a loss of Rs.73.01 crore for the quarter, reflecting a decline of 25.7% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Similarly, the net loss after tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs.66.65 crore, down by 33.7% relative to the prior four-quarter average.
Debt and Risk Considerations
The company’s ability to service its debt remains constrained, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times, indicating that earnings are insufficient to cover debt obligations. This metric underscores the financial risk associated with the stock and contributes to its classification as a higher-risk investment within the heavy electrical equipment sector.
Over the past year, the stock’s profits have declined by approximately 68%, further emphasising the challenges faced by Exicom Tele-Systems in stabilising its financial position. The stock’s valuation relative to its historical averages suggests elevated risk levels compared to its own past performance.

Sector and Industry Context
Exicom Tele-Systems operates within the heavy electrical equipment industry, a sector that often requires substantial capital investment and is sensitive to economic cycles. The company’s market capitalisation grade is noted as 3, reflecting its relative size and market presence within the sector. Despite the broader market’s positive momentum, as indicated by the Sensex’s proximity to its 52-week high and bullish moving averages, Exicom Tele-Systems has not mirrored this trend, highlighting company-specific factors influencing its stock performance.
The stock’s recent day change was a decline of 0.98%, which, while modest, adds to the cumulative downward pressure observed over recent sessions. The divergence between the stock’s performance and the broader market indices suggests that sectoral or company-specific issues are driving the price movement rather than general market sentiment.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Exicom Tele-Systems’ stock has reached Rs.106.65, its lowest level in 52 weeks and all-time trading history. The stock’s year-to-date return stands at -62.67%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive 4.50% return over the same period. The company has reported losses in operating profit and net income for multiple quarters, with interest expenses rising significantly. Its debt servicing capacity remains limited, as reflected in the negative Debt to EBITDA ratio.
These factors collectively contribute to the stock’s current valuation and risk profile within the heavy electrical equipment sector.
