Fundamental and Financial Overview
The company’s long-term fundamentals remain under pressure, reflected in a Mojo Score of 32.0 and a current Mojo Grade of Sell, downgraded from Strong Sell as of 4 August 2025. The Market Cap Grade stands at 4, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation within its peer group.
IL&FS Investment Managers Ltd has experienced a decline in net sales at an annual rate of 4.40%, signalling subdued growth prospects. The company has reported operating losses, which contribute to its weak long-term fundamental strength. Additionally, 100% of promoter shares are pledged, a factor that can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price, especially in falling markets.
Performance metrics over the medium and long term have been below par. The stock has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, underscoring persistent challenges in generating shareholder value.
Recent Quarterly Results and Valuation Metrics
Despite the overall negative trend, the company reported positive results in March 2025 after two consecutive quarters of losses. Profit Before Tax excluding other income (PBT LESS OI) for the quarter stood at Rs.1.19 crore, representing a growth of 312.5% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter was Rs.12.28 crore, a substantial increase of 757.2% over the same period. Earnings Per Share (EPS) reached a quarterly high of Rs.0.39.
Return on Equity (ROE) is recorded at 6.4%, and the stock trades at a Price to Book Value of 1.1, indicating a valuation that is attractive relative to its historical averages and peer group. The company’s Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio stands at 0.4, reflecting a valuation discount despite rising profits.
At the current price level, IL&FS Investment Managers Ltd offers a high dividend yield of 10.97%, which is notable within the Capital Markets sector.

Sectoral and Technical Considerations
The Capital Markets sector, particularly Finance and NBFC segments, has faced downward pressure recently, with the sector index declining by 2.85% today. IL&FS Investment Managers Ltd’s relative outperformance of 0.75% against this backdrop is a modest positive, though the stock remains below all key moving averages, indicating a prevailing bearish technical setup.
The Sensex’s current position below its 50-day moving average, despite the 50DMA trading above the 200DMA, suggests a cautious market environment. The three-week consecutive fall in the Sensex and the spike in volatility as measured by INDIA VIX further highlight the challenging conditions for stocks in this space.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, IL&FS Investment Managers Ltd’s stock price has declined to Rs.6.99, its lowest level in 52 weeks, reflecting a combination of weak long-term fundamentals, subdued sales growth, and market pressures. The company’s recent quarterly earnings improvements and attractive valuation metrics provide some context to the current price level, though the stock continues to face headwinds from pledged promoter shares and sectoral weakness.
Investors observing this stock will note the contrast between the company’s improving quarterly profitability and the broader negative price trend, underscoring the complex dynamics at play in the Capital Markets sector.
