The stock opened with a notable gap down of 12.44%, setting the tone for a day marked by high intraday volatility of 8.68%. While Gujarat Petrosynthese managed to reach an intraday high of Rs.61.84, it ultimately settled near its lowest point, underscoring the pressure on its share price. The current price level stands well below its 52-week high of Rs.81.51, indicating a substantial correction over the past year.
Examining the moving averages reveals a mixed technical picture. The stock price is positioned above its 5-day and 200-day moving averages but remains below the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day moving averages. This suggests short-term support but a lack of momentum in the medium term, reflecting investor caution.

On the broader market front, the Sensex opened flat with a marginal decline of 29.24 points and is currently trading at 84,657.26, down 0.02%. The index remains close to its 52-week high of 85,290.06, just 0.75% away, supported by bullish moving averages where the 50-day DMA is above the 200-day DMA. Mid-cap stocks are leading the market with the BSE Mid Cap index gaining 0.02% today, contrasting with the subdued performance of Gujarat Petrosynthese.
Over the past year, Gujarat Petrosynthese’s stock has recorded a return of -9.06%, underperforming the Sensex, which has posted a 9.13% gain during the same period. This underperformance is also reflected in the company’s financial metrics and operational results.
Financially, the company’s net sales have shown a modest annual growth rate of 2.31% over the last five years, while operating profit has been recorded at 7.50% annually. However, the company’s ability to service its debt remains constrained, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of -0.69, indicating challenges in covering interest expenses from operating earnings.
Recent quarterly results reveal a flat performance with operating cash flow at its lowest yearly level of Rs. -3.00 crores and earnings per share (EPS) at Rs.0.54, marking the lowest quarterly EPS recorded. These figures highlight the subdued financial momentum currently faced by Gujarat Petrosynthese.
The stock’s valuation also reflects a degree of risk, trading below its average historical valuations. Despite the negative return over the past year, the company’s profits have risen by 54%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 0.3, which indicates a disparity between earnings growth and stock price performance.

Long-term performance trends also indicate below-par results. Gujarat Petrosynthese has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, reflecting persistent challenges in generating returns comparable to broader market benchmarks.
The company’s shareholder structure is dominated by promoters, which remains a consistent factor in its governance and strategic direction. Market participants continue to monitor the stock’s price movements closely, especially given the recent adjustment in its evaluation and the trigger event of hitting a 52-week low on 19 Nov 2025.
In summary, Gujarat Petrosynthese’s stock reaching Rs.51.95 marks a significant milestone in its price trajectory, reflecting a combination of subdued financial performance, valuation concerns, and market volatility. While the broader market maintains a relatively stable outlook, the stock’s position below key moving averages and its recent financial data underscore the challenges it currently faces within the petrochemicals sector.
