National Peroxide Ltd Falls 3.44% Amidst All-Time Low and Weak Financials

27 January 2026: Stock Hits 52-Week and All-Time Low of Rs.400

National Peroxide Ltd’s share price plunged to a fresh 52-week and all-time low of Rs.400 on 27 January 2026. Despite touching an intraday high of Rs.430, the stock closed at Rs.403.90, down 2.57% from the previous close. This marked a significant milestone in the company’s prolonged downtrend, reflecting ongoing financial stress and weak operational metrics.

The stock traded below all key moving averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. The company’s long-term operating profit growth has contracted sharply, with a five-year CAGR of -135.58%. Additionally, the average EBIT to interest coverage ratio remains critically low at 0.14, indicating limited ability to service debt. Return on equity averaged a modest 1.90%, underscoring subdued profitability.

On the same day, the Sensex gained 0.50%, closing at 35,786.84, highlighting the stock’s underperformance relative to the broader market. The stock’s one-year return stands at -39.26%, contrasting with the Sensex’s 8.20% gain over the same period.

28 January 2026: Modest Recovery Amid Positive Market Sentiment

Following the sharp decline, National Peroxide Ltd’s stock rebounded modestly on 28 January, closing at Rs.409.70, up 1.44%. This recovery coincided with a strong Sensex rally of 1.12%, which closed at 36,188.16. The stock’s volume declined to 675 shares, indicating cautious trading activity.

Despite the uptick, the stock remained below all major moving averages, and the underlying financial challenges persisted. The company’s latest six-month profit after tax was Rs.1.28 crore, down 77.78% year-on-year, with non-operating income comprising a disproportionate 263.49% of profit before tax. This reliance on non-core income sources raises concerns about earnings sustainability.

29 January 2026: Slight Dip with Subdued Volume

The stock edged down slightly to Rs.409.25 on 29 January, a marginal decline of 0.11%. Trading volume remained low at 674 shares, reflecting limited investor enthusiasm. The Sensex continued its upward trajectory, gaining 0.22% to close at 36,266.59.

National Peroxide Ltd’s persistent underperformance relative to the benchmark index highlights ongoing concerns about its financial health. The company’s operating profit contraction and weak debt servicing capacity continue to weigh on investor sentiment.

30 January 2026: New 52-Week and All-Time Low of Rs.395 Amid Continued Weakness

On 30 January, National Peroxide Ltd’s stock fell further to a new 52-week and all-time low of Rs.395, closing at this level after an intraday high of Rs.418.85. The stock’s day change was a marginal 0.05%, but it recorded a two-day cumulative decline of 3.09%. The stock underperformed its sector by 3.28% and traded below all key moving averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum.

The Sensex declined 0.22% to 36,185.03, showing some short-term weakness in the broader market. Over the past year, the stock has lost 43.68%, markedly underperforming the Sensex’s 7.08% gain. The company’s five-year operating profit CAGR remains deeply negative at -135.58%, and its average EBIT to interest coverage ratio is a low 0.14.

Profitability remains subdued, with an average return on equity of 1.90%. The latest six-month PAT of Rs.1.28 crore represents a 77.78% decline year-on-year, while non-operating income continues to constitute a large portion of pre-tax profits, raising questions about core business viability.
