The stock has been on a losing streak for the past four consecutive days, resulting in a cumulative return of -11.59% during this period. This recent performance contrasts sharply with the broader market, as the Nifty index closed at a fresh 52-week high of 26,192.15, gaining 0.54% on the day. Mega-cap stocks led the market rally, with the Nifty 50 trading above its 50-day moving average, which itself is positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a bullish trend for the benchmark index.
In comparison, Golden Carpets underperformed its sector by 2.57% on the day it hit the new low. The stock’s price now stands well below its short and medium-term moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day averages, although it remains above the 200-day moving average. This positioning indicates recent weakness in momentum despite some longer-term support levels.
Over the last year, Golden Carpets has recorded a return of -30.77%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive performance of 10.38% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.14.16, highlighting the extent of the decline from its peak.

Golden Carpets’ financial profile reveals several areas of concern. The company has not declared any results in the last six months, which adds an element of uncertainty to its current standing. Over the past five years, net sales have shown a modest annual growth rate of 4.60%, while operating profit has remained flat, indicating limited expansion in profitability. The company’s operating cash flow for the most recent year was recorded at a low of Rs. -0.09 crore, reflecting cash outflows from core business activities.
Debt levels also warrant attention. The average debt-to-equity ratio stands at zero, suggesting minimal reliance on external borrowings; however, this does not appear to have translated into stronger financial performance or growth. The stock’s valuation metrics indicate it is trading at levels considered risky relative to its historical averages, which may reflect market apprehension about the company’s near-term prospects.
In terms of relative performance, Golden Carpets has underperformed not only over the past year but also against the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. Despite a 5% rise in profits over the past year, this has not been sufficient to support the stock price, which has declined significantly.

Market participants will note that while the broader market environment remains positive, with key indices at multi-year highs and supported by strong mega-cap performance, Golden Carpets has not mirrored this trend. The divergence highlights sector-specific or company-specific factors influencing the stock’s trajectory.
In summary, Golden Carpets’ recent fall to Rs.9 marks a significant technical milestone as the stock touches its lowest level in 52 weeks. The combination of subdued sales growth, flat operating profits, negative operating cash flow, and absence of recent financial disclosures contribute to the cautious market stance. The stock’s underperformance relative to major indices and sector peers underscores the challenges faced by the company in the current market environment.
