Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 7 Jan 2026, Kakatiya Textiles Ltd’s share price declined by 4.05%, underperforming the Garments & Apparels sector by 4.13%. The stock is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum. The new 52-week low of Rs.13 contrasts sharply with its 52-week high of Rs.26.75, representing a decline of over 51% from its peak.
In comparison, the Sensex opened lower at 84,620.40 points, down 0.52%, but has remained resilient, trading just 1.41% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02. The Sensex’s bullish trend is supported by its 50-day moving average remaining above the 200-day moving average, while mid-cap stocks led gains with the BSE Mid Cap index rising 0.47% on the day. Against this backdrop, Kakatiya Textiles’ performance remains notably weak.
Financial Performance and Fundamental Assessment
Kakatiya Textiles’ one-year stock return stands at -37.17%, significantly lagging the Sensex’s 8.65% gain over the same period. The company’s financial fundamentals reveal a mixed picture. While net sales have grown at an annualised rate of 23.44% over the past five years, operating profit growth has stagnated at 0%, indicating limited improvement in operational efficiency or profitability.
Recent financial disclosures show positive trends in the latest six months, with net sales rising sharply by 280.74% to Rs.11.27 crores. Operating cash flow for the year reached a high of Rs.7.67 crores, and profit after tax (PAT) for the nine-month period improved to Rs.0.46 crores. Despite these encouraging short-term results, the company’s long-term growth trajectory remains subdued.

Valuation and Risk Profile
The company’s valuation metrics highlight ongoing concerns. Kakatiya Textiles carries a negative book value, which contributes to its classification as a stock with weak long-term fundamental strength. The average debt-to-equity ratio stands at zero, indicating minimal leverage; however, this has not translated into improved financial stability or growth.
Despite a 112.4% increase in profits over the past year, the stock’s price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 0.5, suggesting that the market is pricing in significant risk or uncertainty. The stock’s Mojo Score is 17.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 8 Jul 2025, reflecting a deteriorated outlook based on MarketsMOJO’s comprehensive analysis framework. The company’s market capitalisation grade is 4, indicating a relatively modest market cap within its sector.
Comparative Performance and Shareholding
Kakatiya Textiles has consistently underperformed the BSE500 benchmark over the last three years, with negative returns in each annual period. This persistent underperformance contrasts with the broader market’s positive trajectory and the sector’s relative stability.
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, maintaining control over corporate decisions. This concentrated ownership structure may influence strategic direction but has not yet translated into a reversal of the stock’s downward trend.

Summary of Key Metrics
Kakatiya Textiles Ltd’s current share price of Rs.13 represents a significant decline from its 52-week high of Rs.26.75. The stock’s underperformance is underscored by a one-year return of -37.17%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive 8.65% gain. The company’s financials show mixed signals, with recent sales and profit growth offset by weak long-term operating profit trends and a negative book value.
The Mojo Grade of Strong Sell and a low Mojo Score of 17.0 reflect the market’s cautious stance on the stock, despite recent quarterly improvements. Trading below all major moving averages further emphasises the stock’s current bearish momentum within the Garments & Apparels sector.
While the company has reported positive results for the last three consecutive quarters, the broader market context and valuation concerns continue to weigh on the stock’s performance.
