Gini Silk Mills Falls to 52-Week Low of Rs.62.1 Amidst Market Rally

On 19 Nov 2025, Gini Silk Mills, a player in the Trading & Distributors sector, recorded this fresh low price as it continued to underperform relative to its peers and the broader market. The stock has shown a modest gain of 1.12% over the last two trading sessions, yet it remains below its longer-term moving averages, including the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. It currently trades slightly above its 5-day moving average, indicating some short-term price support but persistent downward pressure over the medium and long term.

In comparison, the Sensex opened flat but rallied to close at 85,186.47 points, up 0.61% for the day and just 0.12% shy of its 52-week high of 85,290.06. The index’s positive momentum was led by mega-cap stocks and supported by bullish moving averages, with the 50-day moving average positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a generally favourable market trend. This divergence between Gini Silk Mills and the broader market underscores the stock’s relative weakness.

Over the past year, Gini Silk Mills has experienced a decline of 44.56%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive return of 9.81% during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.165.2, illustrating the extent of the downward movement. This performance reflects a combination of factors including subdued long-term fundamentals and challenges in profitability metrics.

Financially, the company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at a low 0.82%, indicating limited efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Over the last five years, net sales have grown at an annual rate of 14.04%, while operating profit has expanded at 16.50%. Despite these growth figures, the company’s ability to service its debt remains constrained, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of -0.05, signalling difficulties in covering interest expenses from operating earnings.

In the half-year ending September 2025, the ROCE was recorded at 4.43%, the lowest in recent periods, while net profits declined by 11.2% over the past year. These figures contribute to the cautious stance reflected in the company’s evaluation metrics. The stock’s Price to Book Value ratio is 0.7, suggesting it is trading at a discount relative to its book value and peers’ historical valuations. Additionally, the Return on Equity (ROE) is 3.6%, which, while modest, indicates some level of shareholder return.

Despite the stock’s recent two-day gain of 1.12% and a day change of 0.27%, it remains significantly below its longer-term moving averages, reflecting ongoing pressure. The sector in which Gini Silk Mills operates, Trading & Distributors, has seen mixed performance, with the broader BSE500 index generating returns of 8.18% over the last year, further highlighting the stock’s relative underperformance.

Majority ownership of Gini Silk Mills remains with promoters, which may influence strategic decisions and capital allocation. The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated 4, reflecting its size and market presence within the sector. The Mojo Score currently stands at 23.0, with a recent adjustment in evaluation noted on 3 Feb 2025, moving from a previous grade to a more cautious stance.

In summary, Gini Silk Mills’ stock has reached a new 52-week low of Rs.62.1 amid a rising market, with the Sensex advancing towards its own yearly peak. The company’s financial indicators reveal subdued returns on capital and equity, alongside challenges in debt servicing and profit contraction. While the stock has shown some short-term gains, it remains below key moving averages and has underperformed both the sector and broader market indices over the past year.
