Stock Performance and Market Context
On 16 Feb 2026, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s share price touched Rs.4.9, its lowest level in the past year and also an all-time low. The stock has been on a losing streak for seven consecutive trading sessions, resulting in a cumulative decline of 10.73% during this period. This underperformance contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex recovered from an initial dip to close 0.19% higher at 82,784.29 points, just 4.08% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02.
Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s stock has also underperformed its sector peers, lagging the paints sector by 0.69% on the day. The stock currently trades below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — signalling a persistent bearish momentum.
Long-Term Price Trends
Over the last twelve months, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s stock has delivered a negative return of 62.86%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 9.01% gain over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.13.74, underscoring the extent of the decline to the current low of Rs.4.9. This prolonged downtrend highlights challenges in regaining investor confidence and market traction.

Financial Metrics and Profitability
Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s financial performance has been subdued, with the company reporting negative results for three consecutive quarters. The latest six-month period saw a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.2.00 crore, representing a decline of 37.11% compared to the previous corresponding period. This contraction in profitability has weighed heavily on the stock’s valuation.
The company’s return on equity (ROE) stands at a modest 5.98%, indicating limited profitability generated from shareholders’ funds. This low ROE reflects challenges in efficiently utilising equity capital to generate earnings. Similarly, the return on capital employed (ROCE) is 5.7%, which, while modest, is accompanied by a very attractive valuation metric with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 0.9. This suggests the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers’ historical valuations.
Debt and Operational Efficiency
Despite the pressures on profitability, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd maintains a strong ability to service its debt obligations. The company’s debt to EBITDA ratio is a low 1.04 times, signalling manageable leverage and a conservative capital structure. This financial prudence provides some stability amid the earnings challenges.
Comparative Performance and Market Position
Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd has underperformed not only in the short term but also over longer horizons. The stock has lagged the BSE500 index over the past three years, one year, and three months, underscoring persistent difficulties in delivering shareholder returns. The paints sector, while competitive, has seen other players maintain stronger performance metrics and market valuations.
Shareholding and Market Capitalisation
The company’s majority shareholding rests with promoters, which often provides a degree of stability in ownership. However, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 4, reflecting its relatively small size within the paints sector universe. The company’s Mojo Score currently stands at 31.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, an upgrade from a previous Strong Sell rating issued on 11 Nov 2025. This adjustment reflects some improvement in certain metrics but remains indicative of caution.

Operating Profit Growth and Valuation Considerations
On a positive note, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd has demonstrated healthy long-term growth in operating profit, which has increased at an annual rate of 63.67%. This growth rate indicates that the company has been able to expand its core earnings base despite recent setbacks in net profitability. However, this has not translated into improved bottom-line results, as profits have declined by 46.9% over the past year.
The stock’s valuation remains attractive relative to its sector peers, trading at a discount on enterprise value to capital employed. This valuation gap reflects the market’s cautious stance given the company’s recent earnings performance and price weakness.
Summary of Key Price and Performance Indicators
To summarise, Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s stock has reached a new low of Rs.4.9, down from a 52-week high of Rs.13.74. The stock’s one-year return of -62.86% contrasts sharply with the Sensex’s positive 9.01% gain. The company’s financial metrics reveal low profitability with an ROE of 5.98% and a ROCE of 5.7%, alongside a manageable debt profile with a debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.04 times. Despite operating profit growth of 63.67% annually, net profits have declined significantly, contributing to the stock’s subdued market performance.
Kamdhenu Ventures Ltd’s Mojo Grade of Sell, upgraded from Strong Sell in November 2025, reflects ongoing concerns balanced by some stabilising factors. The stock’s trading below all major moving averages and its recent consecutive declines underscore the challenges faced in reversing the downtrend.
