Performance Overview and Financial Indicators
Jay Shree Tea & Industries has experienced a 40.66% decline in its stock price over the last year, contrasting with the Sensex’s 4.10% gain during the same period. This underperformance extends beyond the recent year, with the stock also lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Long-term financial metrics reveal challenges in growth and profitability. The company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 0%, indicating limited efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Operating profit has shown a negative compound annual growth rate of 204.38% over the past five years, signalling contraction in core earnings.
Debt servicing capacity is another area of concern, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times, reflecting a high level of leverage relative to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.
Recent quarterly and annual results further illustrate the financial pressures. Operating cash flow for the year ended September 2025 was negative at Rs.42.51 crores, marking the lowest level recorded. Profit after tax (PAT) for the latest six months stood at Rs.10.60 crores, showing a decline of 62.20% compared to prior periods. Profit before tax excluding other income for the recent quarter was Rs.19.19 crores, down by 53.86%.
Risk Profile and Valuation Considerations
The stock is considered to carry elevated risk relative to its historical valuation norms. Despite the negative return of 40.66% over the past year, reported profits have increased by 305.6% during the same timeframe, resulting in a PEG ratio of zero. This disparity between price performance and profit growth highlights valuation complexities.

Summary of Current Market Position
Jay Shree Tea & Industries’ share price at Rs.82.46 represents a significant low point within the last 52 weeks, reflecting a period of sustained price pressure. The stock’s position below all major moving averages and its underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers underscore the challenges faced by the company in recent times.
Financial data points to subdued profitability and cash flow generation, alongside a high leverage ratio. These factors contribute to the stock’s risk profile and valuation characteristics in the current market environment.
While the broader market shows resilience with the Sensex near its yearly highs and small caps leading gains, Jay Shree Tea & Industries remains on a distinct trajectory, marked by its recent price lows and financial metrics.
