Stock Performance and Market Context
On 19 Jan 2026, Pacific Industries Ltd’s share price fell by 1.41%, underperforming its sector by 0.86%. This decline follows two consecutive days of gains, signalling a reversal in short-term momentum. The stock is currently trading below all major moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — underscoring persistent bearish sentiment among market participants.
In contrast, the broader market index, Sensex, experienced a negative session, closing at 83,068.21 points, down 0.6% or 426.28 points from the previous close. Despite this, Sensex remains approximately 3.72% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, and has recorded a 3.14% loss over the last three weeks. Notably, Sensex is trading below its 50-day moving average, though the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, indicating mixed signals for the broader market.
Long-Term and Recent Financial Performance
Pacific Industries Ltd’s stock has delivered a negative return of 52.80% over the past year, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 8.45% gain in the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.307.9, highlighting the extent of the recent decline.
The company’s long-term fundamentals remain under pressure. Its average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at a modest 2.34%, reflecting limited profitability relative to shareholder equity. Net sales have grown at an annual rate of 14.59% over the last five years, which, while positive, has not translated into commensurate profit growth or stock price appreciation.
Debt servicing capacity is a concern, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of just 1.06, indicating limited cushion to cover interest expenses. This weak coverage ratio may contribute to investor caution.

Recent Quarterly and Half-Year Results
The company reported a decline in profitability in the nine months ended September 2025, with PAT falling by 59.15% to Rs.3.57 crores. Net sales for the quarter were at a low Rs.39.59 crores, while cash and cash equivalents stood at Rs.35.22 crores, the lowest recorded in recent periods. These figures highlight the challenges faced in maintaining revenue and liquidity levels.
Over the past year, profits have decreased by 58.5%, further emphasising the pressure on earnings. The stock’s performance has also lagged behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, indicating sustained underperformance relative to a broad market benchmark.
Valuation and Shareholding Structure
Despite the weak financial metrics, Pacific Industries Ltd’s valuation metrics suggest a fair value perspective. The company’s ROE of 1.1 and a Price to Book Value ratio of 0.2 indicate that the stock is trading at a discount to its book value. However, it is priced at a premium compared to the average historical valuations of its peers in the diversified consumer products sector.
The majority shareholding is held by promoters, which remains unchanged and may influence strategic decisions and capital allocation going forward.

Summary of Key Metrics
Pacific Industries Ltd’s Mojo Score currently stands at 12.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 11 Feb 2025. The company’s Market Cap Grade is 4, reflecting its mid-tier market capitalisation status within the sector.
The stock’s recent price action, combined with its financial and valuation metrics, illustrates a company facing multiple headwinds in both earnings and market sentiment. The 52-week low of Rs.139.7 represents a significant milestone in this downward trajectory, underscoring the challenges faced by Pacific Industries Ltd in the current market environment.
Broader Market and Sector Comparison
While Pacific Industries Ltd has struggled, the diversified consumer products sector has shown mixed performance, with some peers maintaining steadier valuations and earnings growth. The stock’s underperformance relative to sector averages and broader indices highlights the divergence in investor confidence and financial health within the industry.
Overall, the stock’s current position below all key moving averages and its substantial decline over the past year reflect a cautious stance by the market, with valuation and profitability metrics continuing to weigh on sentiment.
