Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 27 Jan 2026, Prima Plastics Ltd’s shares opened sharply lower, with an opening gap down of -8.44%, and the stock touched an intraday low of Rs.104.1, representing a decline of -8.44% on the day. This performance was notably below the sector average, underperforming the diversified consumer products sector by -2.79%. The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum.
In contrast, the broader market showed resilience, with the Sensex recovering from an initial drop of -100.91 points to close higher by 0.23% at 81,725.07. While the Sensex remains below its 50-day moving average, the 50DMA itself is positioned above the 200DMA, indicating a mixed but generally positive medium-term market trend. Other indices such as NIFTY MEDIA and NIFTY REALTY also hit new 52-week lows today, reflecting sector-specific pressures.
Long-Term and Recent Performance Metrics
Prima Plastics Ltd’s stock has delivered a negative return of -26.42% over the past year, significantly lagging behind the Sensex’s positive 8.40% return over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.191.95, highlighting the extent of the decline from its peak. Over the last five years, the company’s net sales have grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.04%, while operating profit has increased at a CAGR of 18.74%. Despite these growth figures, the stock’s performance has remained below par relative to broader market indices and sector peers.
Financial Health and Profitability Indicators
Recent financial results have been largely flat, with operating cash flow for the year reported at a low of Rs.3.53 crores. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year stood at 12.42%, which is among the lowest levels recorded. Over the past year, profits have declined by -16.1%, further weighing on investor sentiment. The stock’s ROCE of 7.7 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 0.7 suggest a valuation that is attractive relative to its capital base, yet this has not translated into positive market performance.

Mojo Score and Market Ratings
Prima Plastics Ltd currently holds a Mojo Score of 40.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell as of 3 Nov 2025, upgraded from a previous Strong Sell rating. The market capitalisation grade stands at 4, reflecting the company’s mid-tier market cap status. Despite the upgrade in rating, the stock continues to face challenges in reversing its downward trajectory, as evidenced by its recent price action and financial metrics.
Shareholding and Valuation Considerations
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, maintaining a stable ownership structure. The stock is trading at a discount compared to its peers’ average historical valuations, which may reflect market concerns about its growth prospects and profitability trends. Over the last three years, Prima Plastics has underperformed the BSE500 index across multiple time frames, including the last three months, one year, and three years, underscoring persistent relative weakness.

Summary of Key Performance Indicators
To summarise, Prima Plastics Ltd’s stock has experienced a notable decline to Rs.104.1, its lowest level in 52 weeks. The stock’s underperformance is reflected in its negative returns of -26.42% over the past year, flat recent results, and subdued profitability metrics such as a low operating cash flow and ROCE. While the valuation metrics indicate an attractive entry point relative to capital employed, the stock remains below all major moving averages and continues to lag behind sector and market benchmarks.
Market conditions have been mixed, with the broader indices showing resilience despite sector-specific pressures. Prima Plastics Ltd’s position within the diversified consumer products sector and its current financial profile suggest ongoing challenges in regaining upward momentum.
