Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On the day the 52-week low was recorded, Nivaka Fashions Ltd’s share price slipped by 0.40%, closing at Rs.2.52. This decline contrasts with the broader market’s positive tone, as the Sensex gained 0.17% to trade at 82,486.38 points, following a flat opening. The Sensex remains within 4.45% of its own 52-week high of 86,159.02, supported by strong performances from mega-cap stocks. Notably, the Sensex is trading below its 50-day moving average, though the 50-day average itself remains above the 200-day moving average, signalling a mixed but cautiously optimistic market environment.
In comparison, Nivaka Fashions Ltd’s stock has been trading below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — indicating sustained downward momentum and a lack of short- to long-term price support.
Performance Over the Past Year
Over the last twelve months, Nivaka Fashions Ltd has delivered a total return of -28.21%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex’s positive 7.77% return over the same period.

Financial Metrics and Profitability Indicators
Nivaka Fashions Ltd’s financial profile reveals several areas of concern that have contributed to its current valuation levels. The company reported operating losses, which have weighed heavily on its long-term fundamental strength. Its ability to service debt remains weak, as reflected by an average EBIT to interest ratio of -0.29, indicating that earnings before interest and taxes are insufficient to cover interest expenses.
Profitability metrics further highlight challenges. The company’s average return on equity (ROE) stands at a modest 1.81%, signalling limited profitability generated per unit of shareholders’ funds. Quarterly results for September 2025 showed subdued performance with PBDIT (profit before depreciation, interest and taxes) at a low of Rs.-0.40 crore, PBT less other income at Rs.-0.60 crore, and earnings per share (EPS) at Rs.-0.06, all reflecting constrained earnings capacity.
Valuation and Risk Profile
The stock’s valuation appears risky relative to its historical averages. Over the past year, profits have declined by 8%, compounding the negative return of 28.21% for shareholders. This combination of falling earnings and share price depreciation underscores the challenges faced by the company in maintaining investor confidence and market valuation.
Shareholding patterns reveal that the majority of shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may influence liquidity and trading dynamics. The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated 4, reflecting its relative size and market presence within the Garments & Apparels sector.

Reflecting the company’s financial and market challenges, Nivaka Fashions Ltd carries a Mojo Score of 12.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell as of 29 Dec 2025, an upgrade from its previous Sell rating. This grading indicates a cautious stance based on the company’s weak fundamentals and recent price trends.
Sector and Industry Context
Operating within the Garments & Apparels sector, Nivaka Fashions Ltd faces competitive pressures and market dynamics that have influenced its recent performance. While the broader market, as represented by the Sensex, has shown resilience and gains, the company’s stock has not mirrored this trend, highlighting sector-specific or company-specific factors impacting its valuation.
Summary of Key Price and Performance Data

These figures illustrate the stock’s downward trajectory and the challenges it faces in regaining upward momentum.
Conclusion
Nivaka Fashions Ltd’s fall to a 52-week low of Rs.2.52 marks a notable point in its recent market journey. The stock’s performance has been weighed down by weak profitability, negative earnings trends, and a challenging debt servicing capacity. Despite a broadly positive market environment, the company’s shares have continued to decline, reflecting underlying financial and valuation concerns. The Strong Sell Mojo Grade and low market cap rating further underscore the cautious outlook surrounding the stock as of early 2026.
