18 August: Valuation Metrics Shift to Very Expensive Amid Price Surge
Following the strong price gains, Manorama Industries’ valuation metrics moved into the very expensive category on 18 August 2026. The stock closed at Rs.1,900.90, down 2.71% from the previous day but still maintaining a strong weekly uptrend. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio escalated to 47.75, while the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio rose to 21.60, signalling a premium valuation relative to peers.
Enterprise value multiples also reflected this trend, with EV/EBIT at 34.02 and EV/EBITDA at 31.80. Despite these stretched multiples, the company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) of 38.22% and return on equity (ROE) of 46.28% justify some of the premium, supported by consistent operational performance and earnings growth. The PEG ratio of 0.69 indicates that earnings growth expectations remain aligned with valuation levels.
Comparatively, peer FMCG companies trade at significantly lower multiples, highlighting Manorama’s unique growth profile. The stock’s dividend yield remains minimal at 0.03%, emphasising capital appreciation as the primary investor return.
19-20 August: Mixed Price Movements Amid Market Volatility
On 19 August, Manorama Industries rebounded with a 1.25% gain to Rs.1,924.70, despite the Sensex declining 0.47%. The stock’s volume decreased to 43,040 shares, indicating a more cautious trading session. The following day, 20 August, the stock advanced 1.72% to Rs.1,957.75, supported by a positive Sensex movement of 0.63%.
These days reflected consolidation after the initial breakout, with the stock maintaining levels above key moving averages and technical indicators remaining bullish. The company’s strong fundamentals and recent Mojo Grade upgrade continued to underpin investor sentiment.

21 August: Week Closes Slightly Lower Amid Reduced Volume
On the final trading day of the week, 21 August, Manorama Industries closed at Rs.1,928.45, down 1.50% from the previous close. Volume was notably lower at 11,596 shares, reflecting a quieter session. The Sensex was nearly flat, rising 0.02% to 36,814.22.
Despite the slight dip, the stock maintained a strong weekly gain of 10.89%, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.40% decline. The price action suggests profit-taking after a strong rally, with technical support levels holding firm above Rs.1,900.
