Financial Health and Fundamental Metrics
Future Consumer Ltd’s financial indicators reveal ongoing challenges. The company holds a negative book value, reflecting a weak long-term fundamental strength. Its debt servicing capacity is limited, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times, indicating that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation are insufficient to cover debt obligations.
Recent quarterly results further highlight difficulties. For the six months ending September 2025, interest expenses surged by 59.66% to Rs.49.24 crores. Profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) declined by 15.2% to a loss of Rs.26.57 crores compared to the previous four-quarter average. The debtor turnover ratio for the half-year stood at 30.39 times, the lowest recorded, signalling slower collections and potential liquidity constraints.
The company’s net worth remains negative, a situation that typically necessitates either fresh capital infusion or a return to profitability to ensure sustainability. The negative EBITDA status further emphasises the financial strain, with the stock trading at valuations that are considered risky relative to its historical averages.
Trading and Valuation Trends
Trading activity in Future Consumer Ltd has been notably erratic, with the stock absent from the market on multiple recent days. This irregularity may reflect both low investor confidence and limited market interest. The stock’s current price is well below all major moving averages, a technical indication of persistent bearish sentiment.
Despite the stock’s negative price performance, the company’s profits have shown a modest increase of 13.1% over the past year. However, this improvement has not translated into positive returns for shareholders, as the stock price has declined significantly.
The company’s Mojo Score stands at 9.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell as of 24 June 2024, upgraded from a previous Sell rating. The Market Cap Grade is 4, reflecting the company’s relatively small market capitalisation and associated risks.

Sector and Broader Market Influences
Future Consumer Ltd operates within the diversified retail sector, which has faced headwinds alongside other sectors such as media and realty, both of which also recorded 52-week lows recently. The Sensex’s current position below its 50-day moving average, despite the 50DMA remaining above the 200DMA, suggests a cautious market environment with intermittent volatility.
The company’s stock performance relative to the sector and broader market indices highlights the specific pressures it faces beyond general market trends. The combination of financial strain, negative net worth, and subdued trading activity contributes to the stock’s current valuation and price trajectory.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Future Consumer Ltd’s stock has reached a new low of Rs.0.37, reflecting a 36.21% decline over the past year. The company’s financial profile is marked by a negative book value, high debt relative to earnings, increased interest costs, and losses before tax. Trading volumes have been inconsistent, and the stock remains below all major moving averages. The Mojo Grade of Strong Sell underscores the current assessment of the company’s financial and market position.
While the broader market has experienced some declines, Future Consumer Ltd’s performance has been notably weaker, emphasising company-specific factors driving the stock’s recent lows.
