The day’s performance showed a gain of 5.19%, outperforming its sector by 3.87%, and reversing the trend after two consecutive days of decline.
Examining the moving averages, the stock price currently stands above its 5-day moving average but remains below the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. This positioning indicates a short-term support level but suggests that the stock is still under pressure relative to its longer-term trend indicators.

Over the past year, Gujarat Poly Electronics has recorded a stock return of -19.13%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive return of 9.95% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.111.8, highlighting the extent of the decline to the current low. This underperformance is also reflected in the company’s financial metrics and valuation.
The company’s operating profits have shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.33% over the last five years, indicating some growth in earnings before interest and taxes. However, the ability to service debt appears constrained, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of 1.43, suggesting limited coverage of interest expenses by operating earnings.
Recent quarterly results for September 2025 reveal subdued profitability. The profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs.0.42 crore, representing a decline of 62.3% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Operating cash flow for the year was recorded at a low of Rs.-0.07 crore, while profit before depreciation, interest, and taxes (PBDIT) for the quarter was Rs.0.36 crore, also at a low level.
The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) is 6.6%, which, when combined with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 3, suggests a relatively expensive valuation compared to the returns generated. Despite this, the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers’ average historical valuations.
While the stock has generated a negative return over the past year, the company’s profits have risen by 98.2% during the same period. This divergence is reflected in a price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio of 0.1, indicating that the market valuation does not fully align with the profit growth observed.
Longer-term performance also shows challenges, with the stock underperforming the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. This trend highlights persistent pressures on the company’s market valuation relative to broader market indices.
