2 February 2026: Stock Hits 52-Week and All-Time Low
On 2 February 2026, Future Consumer Ltd’s share price declined to ₹0.36, establishing both a new 52-week and all-time low. This represented a 2.70% drop from the previous close, contrasting sharply with the Sensex’s 1.03% decline on the same day. The stock underperformed its sector by approximately 2.9%, signalling persistent weakness.
The share price remained below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, underscoring a sustained bearish trend. Trading volumes were subdued, with no transactions recorded on four of the last twenty trading sessions, indicating low liquidity and investor caution.
Despite the broader market showing resilience, Future Consumer Ltd’s stock continued its downward trajectory, reflecting company-specific challenges and deteriorating fundamentals.
Financial and Operational Challenges Weigh on Stock
Future Consumer Ltd’s financial health remains under significant pressure. The company reports a negative book value, indicating liabilities exceed assets, which contributes to a weak long-term fundamental strength assessment. Its Debt to EBITDA ratio stands at -1.00 times, signalling earnings are insufficient to cover debt obligations.
Interest expenses surged by 59.66% over the last six months, reaching ₹49.24 crores, further straining the company’s finances. Profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) declined by 15.2% to a loss of ₹26.57 crores compared to the previous four-quarter average. Additionally, the debtor turnover ratio for the half-year fell to 30.39 times, the lowest recorded, suggesting challenges in receivables management.
These financial metrics highlight the ongoing operational difficulties and elevated risk profile facing the company.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Negative Price Momentum: The stock’s fall to ₹0.36 represents a fresh all-time and 52-week low, underscoring persistent bearish sentiment and weak investor confidence.
Financial Struggles: Rising interest expenses, negative book value, and a Debt to EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times highlight the company’s strained financial position and limited debt servicing capacity.
Market Underperformance: While the Sensex gained 1.51% over the week, Future Consumer Ltd declined 2.70%, reflecting company-specific challenges distinct from broader market trends.
Liquidity Concerns: The stock’s erratic trading pattern, including no transactions on multiple days, points to subdued liquidity and investor caution.
Profitability Disconnect: Despite a modest 13.1% increase in profits over the past year, the share price has declined sharply, indicating a disconnect between earnings growth and market valuation.
Conclusion
Future Consumer Ltd’s stock performance this week highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the company amid a difficult financial and market environment. The stock’s decline to an all-time low of ₹0.36, coupled with deteriorating fundamentals and rising interest costs, has weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Despite broader market gains, the company’s shares have failed to recover, reflecting persistent operational and liquidity concerns.
Investors should note the stark contrast between the company’s modest profit growth and its declining market valuation, as well as the sustained bearish technical indicators. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and its sector underscores the specific pressures confronting Future Consumer Ltd within the diversified retail space.
