Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On the day in question, Kaynes Technology India Ltd's share price fell by 1.72%, aligning with the sector's overall performance. The stock has been trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating sustained downward pressure. This technical positioning underscores the stock's current bearish trend.
The broader market environment has also been subdued. The Sensex opened 158.87 points lower and closed down by 447.32 points at 83,574.77, a decline of 0.72%. Despite this, the Sensex remains within 3.09% of its 52-week high of 86,159.02. The index is trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50-day average remains above the 200-day moving average, suggesting mixed signals for the market overall.
Performance Comparison and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Kaynes Technology India Ltd has underperformed significantly, delivering a negative return of 45.65%, in stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 7.68% return over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.7705, highlighting the extent of the recent decline.
From a valuation standpoint, the company’s return on equity (ROE) stands at 8.1%, while its price-to-book value ratio is elevated at 5.3, indicating a relatively expensive valuation compared to its earnings and book value. Despite this, the stock trades at a discount relative to its peers’ historical averages, reflecting market caution.
The company’s PEG ratio is 1.3, which suggests that while profits have grown, the stock price has not kept pace proportionally. This is notable given that profits have increased by 59.5% over the past year, a positive indicator amid the price decline.

Mojo Score and Analyst Ratings
The company’s current Mojo Score stands at 41.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, reflecting a downgrade from its previous Hold rating as of 01 Dec 2025. This shift indicates a reassessment of the stock’s risk and return profile by the rating agency. The market cap grade is low at 2, which further underscores the cautious stance on the stock’s valuation and performance metrics.
Despite the recent price weakness, Kaynes Technology India Ltd’s fundamentals show a mixed picture with strong profit growth and sales expansion, but valuation concerns and underperformance relative to the broader market remain key factors influencing its current market standing.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Kaynes Technology India Ltd’s stock price has declined to Rs.3670, its lowest level in 52 weeks, following a 3.98% drop over two consecutive sessions. The stock’s valuation remains elevated with a price-to-book ratio of 5.3 and a modest ROE of 8.1%. While profits have risen by nearly 60% over the past year, the stock has underperformed the Sensex and the BSE500 index, which have delivered positive returns in the same period.
The company’s strong sales growth, low leverage, and significant institutional ownership provide a foundation of financial strength, yet the current market environment and valuation metrics have contributed to the recent price decline and the downgrade in analyst sentiment.
