25 February 2026: New 52-Week Low at Rs.575.40 Amid Market Strength
Despite a 0.84% gain in the Sensex to 36,679.75 and a 2.48% rise in the IT - Software sector, Just Dial’s stock declined to Rs.575.40, marking its lowest level in the past year. This 12-session losing streak reflects company-specific pressures amid a generally positive market environment.
The stock’s price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 2.5 and reliance on non-operating income for over half of its profit before tax highlight underlying operational concerns. The company’s return on equity remains modest at 9%, and the debt-free balance sheet provides some financial stability.

On 26 February, Just Dial’s stock saw a slight rebound, gaining 0.51% to close at Rs.578.35 on relatively low volume. The Sensex also advanced 0.19% to 36,748.49, supported by gains in mega-cap stocks. However, the stock remains below all key moving averages, indicating that the broader downtrend has not yet been reversed.

The week ended with Just Dial’s stock falling sharply by 4.73% to Rs.551.00, marking a new 52-week low. This decline outpaced the Sensex’s 1.16% drop to 36,322.56, underscoring the stock’s continued weakness amid broader market pressures.
The stock underperformed its sector by 3.07% on the day and remains entrenched in a bearish trend. Despite a debt-free balance sheet and reasonable valuation multiples, the company’s flat earnings and reliance on non-operating income continue to weigh on sentiment.
| Date | Stock Price | Day Change | Sensex | Day Change |

Key Takeaways
Just Dial Ltd.’s stock has endured a pronounced downtrend this week, hitting multiple 52-week lows and closing the week down 8.63%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 0.96% decline. The persistent weakness reflects company-specific challenges amid a generally mixed market environment.
Valuation metrics such as a P/E ratio of 14.09 and price-to-book value near 1.2 suggest the stock is attractively priced relative to peers. However, the elevated PEG ratio of around 2.5 and reliance on non-operating income for over half of profit before tax indicate operational and growth concerns that temper the valuation appeal.
The company’s debt-free balance sheet and moderate return on equity of 9% provide some financial stability, but flat recent earnings and a Sell rating from MarketsMOJO highlight ongoing caution among investors.
Conclusion
This week’s price action for Just Dial Ltd. underscores the challenges the company faces in regaining investor confidence amid sector headwinds and internal operational issues. While valuation metrics have shifted to a more attractive range, the stock’s sustained decline and multiple 52-week lows reflect persistent bearish sentiment.
Investors monitoring Just Dial should consider the balance between its attractive valuation and the fundamental concerns highlighted by recent earnings and growth trends. The stock’s performance relative to the Sensex and its sector peers suggests that recovery will depend on tangible improvements in operational results and market conditions.
