Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 20 Jan 2026, Madhucon Projects Ltd’s share price declined by 1.09% to reach Rs.5.25, the lowest level in the past year. This move comes after a four-day losing streak during which the stock has fallen by 6.84%. The current price is substantially below its 52-week high of Rs.9.53, representing a decline of approximately 44.9% from that peak.
The stock is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling a persistent bearish trend. This technical positioning indicates that the stock has struggled to find short- or medium-term support levels.
In comparison, the broader market has experienced some weakness but remains relatively resilient. The Sensex opened flat but ended the day down by 320.54 points, or 0.43%, closing at 82,886.84. Despite this decline, the Sensex remains just 3.95% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02. However, the index has been on a three-week losing streak, shedding 3.35% over that period.
Financial Performance and Fundamental Concerns
Madhucon Projects Ltd’s financial metrics continue to reflect challenges. The company has reported negative results for six consecutive quarters, underscoring ongoing difficulties in generating profits. The latest six-month figures reveal net sales of Rs.286.69 crores, down by 32.76% compared to the previous period. Concurrently, the company posted a net loss (PAT) of Rs.-238.56 crores, also declining by 32.76%.
Interest expenses have surged sharply, with a 231.28% increase over nine months, reaching Rs.39.19 crores. This rise in interest costs adds pressure on the company’s earnings and cash flows.
Over the past five years, Madhucon Projects Ltd’s net sales have contracted at an annual rate of 6.78%, while operating profit has remained stagnant at 0%. The company’s long-term growth trajectory has thus been subdued, contributing to a weak fundamental profile.

Valuation and Risk Profile
The company’s Mojo Score stands at 3.0 with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating on 2 Sep 2024. This reflects continued concerns about the company’s financial health and market position. The Market Cap Grade is 4, indicating a relatively small market capitalisation compared to peers.
Madhucon Projects Ltd carries a negative book value, signalling that liabilities exceed assets on the balance sheet. The average debt-to-equity ratio is reported as zero, which may reflect accounting or restructuring nuances, but the company is widely regarded as highly leveraged given its interest expense trends.
Profitability has deteriorated sharply, with profits falling by over 3100% in the past year. The stock’s returns over the last 12 months have been negative 38.63%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s positive 7.53% return over the same period. Additionally, the stock has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Shareholding and Sectoral Position
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, indicating concentrated ownership. The company operates within the construction sector, which has faced mixed conditions recently, with some peers showing resilience while others have struggled with project execution and financial stress.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Madhucon Projects Ltd’s current share price of Rs.5.25 represents a 52-week low, reflecting a combination of weak financial results, declining sales, rising interest costs, and a challenging sector environment. The stock’s technical indicators remain negative, with prices below all major moving averages and a four-day consecutive decline.
The company’s long-term growth has been negative, and recent profitability metrics have deteriorated substantially. Despite the broader market’s modest pullback, Madhucon’s underperformance has been pronounced, with returns lagging major indices and sector benchmarks.
These factors collectively contribute to the stock’s current valuation and risk profile, as reflected in its Strong Sell Mojo Grade and negative book value status.
