The stock has been on a downward trajectory for the past two trading days, cumulatively losing 7.89% in returns during this period. Notably, Medi Caps Ltd is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum.
In contrast, the broader market benchmark, the Sensex, experienced a modest decline of 0.41%, trading at 83,890.17 after opening 265.21 points lower. The Sensex remains near its 52-week high of 86,159.02, just 2.7% away, and has recorded a 2.89% gain over the past three weeks, highlighting the divergence between the index and Medi Caps Ltd’s stock performance.
Financial Performance and Fundamental Assessment
Medi Caps Ltd’s financial metrics continue to reflect challenges. The company reported a net loss after tax (PAT) of Rs. -6.08 crores for the nine-month period, representing a decline of 51.32% compared to prior periods. Net sales for the latest six months stood at Rs. 6.32 crores, down 48.66%, indicating a contraction in revenue generation.
Cash and cash equivalents have dwindled to a low of Rs. 0.09 crores in the half-year period, underscoring liquidity constraints. The company’s earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to interest ratio averaged -1.38, signalling difficulties in servicing debt obligations effectively.
Return on equity (ROE) remains subdued at an average of 1.46%, reflecting limited profitability relative to shareholder funds. The company has declared negative results for three consecutive quarters, further emphasising the ongoing financial strain.

Valuation and Risk Profile
The stock’s valuation metrics indicate elevated risk. Over the past year, Medi Caps Ltd has generated a negative return of 50.07%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s positive 10.15% return over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.53.76, highlighting a steep decline of over 57% from that peak.
Profitability has deteriorated sharply, with profits falling by 278.5% in the last year. The company’s EBITDA remains negative, contributing to the cautious stance reflected in its MarketsMOJO Mojo Score of 3.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 1 Feb 2025. The Market Cap Grade stands at 4, indicating a relatively small market capitalisation.
Long-term performance has also been below par, with the stock underperforming the BSE500 index across one-year, three-year, and three-month timeframes. These factors collectively contribute to the stock’s classification as risky compared to its historical valuations.
Shareholding and Sectoral Position
The majority shareholding of Medi Caps Ltd remains with the promoters, maintaining control over corporate decisions. The company operates within the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector, which has generally shown resilience, but Medi Caps Ltd’s individual performance has lagged behind sector peers.

Summary of Key Metrics
Medi Caps Ltd’s recent financial and market data present a challenging picture. The stock’s new 52-week low of Rs.22.99 reflects ongoing pressures, with a two-day consecutive decline and underperformance relative to sector and benchmark indices. Negative PAT growth, shrinking net sales, minimal cash reserves, and a negative EBIT to interest ratio underscore the company’s constrained financial health.
Trading below all major moving averages and with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, the stock’s risk profile remains elevated. The company’s long-term and near-term returns have been below benchmark indices, and profitability metrics such as ROE and EBITDA continue to signal subdued performance.
While the broader market shows resilience with the Sensex near its 52-week high and on a three-week consecutive rise, Medi Caps Ltd’s stock remains under pressure, reflecting company-specific challenges within the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector.
