Monday, 19 January 2026: Stock Hits New 52-Week and All-Time Low
National Peroxide Ltd’s share price plunged to a fresh 52-week and all-time low of Rs.412.1 on 19 January 2026, continuing a prolonged downtrend. The stock closed the day at Rs.418.80, down 3.90%, underperforming the Sensex’s 0.49% decline. This marked a significant milestone in the company’s extended period of weakness, with the stock trading below all key moving averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum.
Financially, the company faces severe challenges, including a five-year operating profit CAGR contraction of -135.58% and a weak EBIT to interest coverage ratio averaging 0.14.

The downward pressure continued on 20 January 2026, with the stock touching a new 52-week low of Rs.410 intraday and closing at Rs.414.15, down 1.11%. Despite a marginal outperformance versus its sector by 1.54%, the stock lagged the Sensex’s sharper 1.82% fall.

Long-term performance remains weak, with the stock down 46.31% over the past year compared to the Sensex’s 6.55% gain. The company’s valuation remains risky relative to historical averages, reflecting deteriorating fundamentals and subdued profitability. Promoters continue to hold majority ownership, but this has not stemmed the negative trend.

Thursday, 22 January 2026: Sharp Rebound Amid Market Recovery
After three days of declines, National Peroxide Ltd’s stock rebounded strongly on 22 January 2026, gaining 4.87% to close at Rs.432.90.

Despite this bounce, the stock remains entrenched in a bearish trend, trading below all major moving averages. The rebound, while notable, did not reverse the underlying financial challenges, including the steep decline in operating profits and weak debt servicing capacity.
Friday, 23 January 2026: Week Ends Lower on Renewed Selling Pressure
National Peroxide Ltd’s stock closed the week at Rs.414.55, down 4.24% on 23 January 2026, as renewed selling pressure weighed on the price. The Sensex also declined by 1.33%, closing at 35,609.90. The stock’s volume increased to 1,437 shares, reflecting heightened activity amid the downtrend.
The week’s overall performance saw the stock fall 4.88%, underperforming the Sensex’s 3.31% decline. This underperformance highlights the company’s ongoing struggles with profitability, valuation risk, and market sentiment. The Mojo Grade remains at Strong Sell, reflecting the persistent negative outlook.

Financial Challenges: Operating profits have contracted sharply over five years, with a negative CAGR of -135.58%. The company’s EBIT to interest coverage ratio of 0.14 signals difficulty in servicing debt, while the low average ROE of 1.90% reflects limited profitability.
Profitability Concerns: The latest six-month PAT of Rs.1.28 crore declined by 77.78%, with a heavy reliance on non-operating income (263.49% of PBT), raising questions about earnings sustainability.

Conclusion
National Peroxide Ltd’s performance this week reflects a continuation of its prolonged downtrend, driven by deteriorating financial fundamentals and weak market sentiment. Despite a brief midweek rally, the stock closed the week lower, underperforming the Sensex and remaining near historic lows. The company’s poor profitability metrics, limited debt servicing capacity, and reliance on non-operating income contribute to its Strong Sell Mojo Grade and subdued outlook. Investors should note the persistent challenges highlighted by the data, which underscore the stock’s current risk profile within the commodity chemicals sector.
