From a market performance perspective, N R Agarwal Industries has outpaced the Sensex across multiple time frames. The stock’s year-to-date return stands at 39.51%, compared to the Sensex’s 8.36%. Over one year, the stock’s return is 46.19%, significantly above the benchmark’s 9.48%. Even over longer horizons such as five and ten years, the stock has delivered returns of 149.28% and 1283.14% respectively, far exceeding the Sensex’s 91.65% and 232.28% returns. This performance underscores the stock’s resilience and potential appeal within its sector despite some margin pressures and leverage considerations.
Quarterly financial data reveals a mixed picture. While PAT for the latest quarter is at ₹2.97 crores, reflecting a decline of 61.4% against the previous four-quarter average, other profitability indicators such as PBDIT and PBT less other income have reached their highest levels. This divergence suggests that while bottom-line profitability faced headwinds, operational efficiencies and revenue generation have shown strength. The company’s current market price is ₹484.10, with a day change of 1.91%, and it remains within a 52-week range of ₹210.05 to ₹516.95.
