February 2: Stock Hits 52-Week and All-Time Low Amid Underperformance
NTPC Green Energy Ltd’s shares plunged to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.84.5 on 2 February 2026, marking a significant downturn in its market valuation. The stock closed at Rs.85.26, down 1.10% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which declined 1.03%.

Key Takeaways
NTPC Green Energy Ltd’s week was characterised by volatility and cautious investor sentiment. The stock’s initial fall to a 52-week and all-time low on 2 February underscored persistent financial challenges, including a sharp 88.5% decline in quarterly PAT and elevated interest expenses. These factors contributed to the stock trading below all major moving averages, signalling ongoing downward pressure.
Despite a partial recovery midweek, the stock’s gains were modest and failed to keep pace with the Sensex’s 1.51% weekly advance. Trading volumes declined as the week progressed, reflecting reduced enthusiasm. The company’s high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 10.18 times and low returns on equity and capital employed continue to weigh on its valuation and investor confidence.
On a positive note, NTPC Green Energy Ltd has demonstrated strong annual growth in net sales (245.20%) and operating profit (219.27%), indicating expansion in its core business. However, these operational improvements have yet to translate into sustained earnings growth or share price appreciation.
Conclusion
NTPC Green Energy Ltd’s performance in the week ending 6 February 2026 reflects a stock grappling with fundamental financial pressures amid a generally positive market backdrop. The stock’s 0.96% weekly gain was overshadowed by its earlier sharp declines and continued underperformance relative to the Sensex. Elevated debt levels, subdued profitability, and stretched valuation metrics remain key concerns for investors. While operational growth offers some optimism, the company’s ability to improve earnings and manage leverage will be critical to reversing its recent trend. Until then, the stock is likely to remain under pressure despite intermittent rebounds.
