Financial Metrics and Profitability Trends
Platinum Industries Ltd reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.24.70 crores over the latest six-month period, reflecting a decline of 22.31% compared to the previous corresponding period. The company’s operating cash flow for the year was negative at Rs. -7.96 crores, marking the lowest level recorded recently. These figures contribute to the cautious sentiment surrounding the stock.
Despite these challenges, the company maintains a low average Debt to Equity ratio of zero, indicating minimal leverage. Its Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 10.4%, which is considered moderate within the Specialty Chemicals sector. The Price to Book Value ratio is 3, suggesting a fair valuation relative to its book value, although the stock currently trades at a discount compared to its peers’ historical averages.
Market Participation and Institutional Holdings
Domestic mutual funds hold no stake in Platinum Industries Ltd, a notable point given their capacity for detailed research and due diligence. This absence may reflect a lack of conviction in the stock’s current valuation or business outlook among institutional investors.
Valuation and Growth Indicators
While the stock has declined by over 42% in the past year, the company’s profits have increased by approximately 14% during the same period. The Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio is 2.1, indicating that the stock’s price may not fully reflect its earnings growth potential, though this figure is above the ideal benchmark of 1, suggesting a relatively higher valuation in relation to growth.

Mojo Score and Analyst Ratings
According to MarketsMOJO’s assessment, Platinum Industries Ltd holds a Mojo Score of 26.0, categorised as a Strong Sell. This rating was upgraded from a Sell grade on 3 Dec 2025, reflecting a deterioration in the company’s overall outlook.

The downgrade in rating aligns with the company’s recent financial results and price performance, underscoring the challenges faced by the stock in regaining investor confidence.
Summary of Key Price and Performance Data
To summarise, Platinum Industries Ltd’s stock price has declined from a 52-week high of Rs.390.8 to a new low of Rs.213.3, a drop of approximately 45.4%. The stock’s recent three-day losing streak and underperformance relative to both its sector and the broader market highlight ongoing pressures. Despite some positive profit growth, the negative cash flow and absence of institutional backing contribute to the subdued market sentiment.
While the broader Sensex remains close to its 52-week high and shows signs of resilience, Platinum Industries Ltd’s share price continues to face downward pressure, reflecting company-specific factors within the Specialty Chemicals sector.
