Financial Performance and Ratings
The company’s financial results have contributed to the stock's subdued performance. In the quarter ending September 2025, Pudumjee Paper Products Ltd reported a Profit Before Tax (PBT) excluding other income of Rs.23.92 crore, down 28.96% year-on-year. Net Profit After Tax (PAT) declined by 43.1% to Rs.16.92 crore, while net sales contracted by 6.90% to Rs.207.13 crore.
Over the last five years, the company’s net sales have grown at an annual rate of 11.99%, which is considered modest within the industry. Despite this growth, the stock has underperformed significantly, delivering a negative return of 45.81% over the past year compared to the Sensex’s positive return of 7.69% and the BSE500’s 6.21% gain.
Reflecting these trends, the company’s Mojo Score stands at 28.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell as of 2 Dec 2025, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating. The Market Capitalisation Grade is 4, indicating a relatively small market cap within its sector.

Shareholding and Valuation Metrics
Domestic mutual funds hold no stake in Pudumjee Paper Products Ltd, a notable factor given their capacity for detailed company research. This absence of institutional interest may reflect caution regarding the stock’s current valuation or business outlook.
The company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating a debt-free capital structure. Return on Equity (ROE) stands at a respectable 14.5%, and the stock trades at a Price to Book Value ratio of 1.3, suggesting an attractive valuation relative to its book value. However, the stock is priced at a premium compared to its peers’ historical averages, which may weigh on investor sentiment.
Profitability has also declined over the past year, with profits falling by 27.7%, further contributing to the stock’s downward trajectory.

Sector and Industry Positioning
Pudumjee Paper Products Ltd operates within the Paper, Forest & Jute Products industry and sector, which has faced its own set of challenges amid fluctuating demand and input cost pressures. The stock’s performance has been broadly in line with sector trends on the day of the new low, though its longer-term returns have lagged behind both the sector and broader market indices.
The company’s market capitalisation and scale place it among smaller players in the sector, which may contribute to its relative volatility and sensitivity to market movements.

The company’s quarterly financials reveal declines in profitability and sales, while its valuation metrics show a premium relative to peers despite a debt-free balance sheet and a solid ROE. The stock’s technical indicators remain weak, trading below all major moving averages, and institutional interest remains absent.
