The stock showed a modest recovery after five consecutive days of decline, yet it remains trading below all key moving averages — including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages — signalling a sustained bearish trend.

Financial Performance Highlights
M K Exim’s recent quarterly results have contributed to the stock’s subdued performance. The company reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.2.38 crores, representing a sharp decline of 55.0% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Net sales for the quarter stood at Rs.17.99 crores, the lowest recorded in recent periods, while Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes (PBDIT) also hit a nadir at Rs.3.01 crores. These figures underscore the challenges faced by the company in maintaining revenue and profitability levels.
Long-Term and Relative Performance

Sector and Broader Market Environment
The retailing sector, to which M K Exim belongs, has faced headwinds in recent months, with the textile segment declining by -2.11% on the day the stock hit its 52-week low. The broader market sentiment has been cautious, as reflected in the Sensex’s fall of -479.98 points on 12 Jan 2026. The Sensex is trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50-day average remains above the 200-day average, indicating mixed signals for market momentum.
Summary of Key Price Levels
The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.94.98, recorded within the last year, contrasting sharply with the current low of Rs.52.5. This represents a decline of approximately 44.7% from the peak price. The recent price action, including the breach of multiple moving averages, underscores the prevailing downward pressure on the stock.
Conclusion
M K Exim (India) Ltd’s fall to a 52-week low at Rs.52.5 encapsulates a period of subdued financial results and market underperformance. While the company demonstrates strong management efficiency and a conservative balance sheet, recent quarterly earnings and sales figures have weighed on investor confidence. The stock’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a reasonable level relative to earnings growth and peer comparisons, yet the prevailing market conditions and sectoral pressures continue to influence its price trajectory.
