Recent Price Movements and Volatility

The stock experienced high intraday volatility of 44.4%, with an intraday low touching ₹101.1, representing a 5.78% drop from the previous close. This volatility underscores the unsettled trading environment surrounding the stock.
The stock has underperformed its sector by 6.07% on the day, continuing a six-day losing streak that has resulted in a cumulative decline of 16.85%. This sustained negative momentum contrasts sharply with the broader market, where the Sensex declined by only 0.51% on the same day.
Technical Indicators Reflect Bearish Sentiment
Technical analysis reveals that Physicswallah Ltd is trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This positioning indicates a strong bearish trend and suggests limited short-term support levels. The persistent trading below these averages often signals investor caution and a lack of upward momentum.
Comparative Performance Against Benchmarks
Over multiple time horizons, Physicswallah Ltd has lagged behind the Sensex benchmark. The stock’s one-week return stands at -15.16%, compared to the Sensex’s positive 0.59%. Over one month, the stock declined by 19.68%, while the Sensex remained nearly flat with a -0.09% return. Year-to-date, the stock has fallen 22.31%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 1.66% decline.
Longer-term performance data shows no recorded returns for Physicswallah Ltd over one, three, five, and ten-year periods, while the Sensex has delivered robust gains of 10.02%, 38.10%, 62.59%, and 264.59% respectively. This absence of long-term returns highlights the stock’s challenging position relative to market benchmarks.

Financial Metrics and Profitability Concerns
Physicswallah Ltd’s financial indicators reveal areas of concern. The company reports a Return on Equity (ROE) of 0%, reflecting losses that have negated shareholder returns. This zero ROE is a key factor in the company’s current Sell rating, downgraded from Strong Sell on 17 Dec 2025, with a Mojo Score of 44.0.
Debt servicing capacity appears limited, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio recorded at 0 times. While this figure suggests low leverage, it is primarily a consequence of negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. The company’s operating profits remain negative, contributing to the cautious market stance.
Sales and Profit Trends
Despite the challenges, Physicswallah Ltd has demonstrated some positive quarterly results. The latest quarter ending December 2025 showed a Profit Before Tax less Other Income (PBT LESS OI) of ₹89.78 crores, representing a substantial growth of 552.2% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Net sales for the quarter reached a record ₹918.69 crores, while Profit Before Depreciation, Interest, and Taxes (PBDIT) hit ₹195.34 crores, also the highest recorded.
However, these quarterly improvements have not translated into sustained stock price gains or improved long-term returns, as the stock remains under pressure and continues to trade at valuations considered risky relative to its historical averages.
Institutional Holdings and Market Perception
Institutional investors hold a significant 25.14% stake in Physicswallah Ltd. These investors typically possess greater analytical resources and may influence market perceptions through their trading activity. Nonetheless, the stock’s recent performance indicates that institutional confidence has not yet reversed the downward trend.
Sector and Industry Context
Operating within the Other Consumer Services sector, Physicswallah Ltd’s recent underperformance contrasts with broader sector trends. The sector has generally shown more resilience, making the stock’s decline more pronounced in comparison. This divergence highlights company-specific factors influencing investor sentiment and price action.

Summary of Market Performance and Ratings
Physicswallah Ltd’s current Mojo Grade is Sell, an improvement from the previous Strong Sell rating, reflecting some stabilisation in outlook despite ongoing challenges. The Market Cap Grade stands at 2, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation compared to peers.
The stock’s recent price action, combined with financial metrics, suggests a cautious market stance. While quarterly sales and profit figures show notable growth, the absence of positive returns over one to ten years and the stock’s failure to keep pace with the Sensex highlight the severity of the current situation.
Investors and market participants continue to monitor the stock’s trajectory closely as it navigates this extended period of price weakness and volatility.
Conclusion
Physicswallah Ltd’s fall to an all-time low of ₹101.1 marks a significant point in its market journey. The stock’s sustained underperformance relative to benchmarks, combined with financial indicators such as zero ROE and negative operating profits, underscores the challenges faced. Despite some positive quarterly results, the overall market context remains subdued, with the stock trading below all major moving averages and exhibiting high volatility. Institutional holdings remain notable, yet the stock’s valuation and price trends reflect a cautious outlook within the Other Consumer Services sector.
