Recent Price Movement and Market Context
On 21 Nov 2025, Quint Digital Media's share price touched Rs.38.5, the lowest level recorded in the past 52 weeks. This decline comes after three consecutive days of losses, during which the stock has recorded a cumulative return of -2.42%. The day’s performance showed a further dip of -1.40%, underperforming the Media & Entertainment sector by -1.41%.
The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating sustained downward momentum. In contrast, the broader Sensex index opened lower at 85,347.40 points, down by 285.28 points (-0.33%), and was trading near its 52-week high of 85,801.70, just 0.48% away. The Sensex remains above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, reflecting a generally bullish trend in the broader market.
Performance Comparison and Historical Returns
Over the last year, Quint Digital Media has recorded a return of -44.21%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex, which posted a positive return of 10.71% during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.85, highlighting the extent of the decline from its peak.
This underperformance is consistent with the company’s trend over the past three years, where it has also lagged behind the BSE500 index annually. Such persistent relative weakness points to structural issues affecting the company’s market valuation and investor sentiment.

Financial Health and Profitability Metrics
Quint Digital Media’s financial indicators reveal areas of concern. The company has reported operating losses, which have contributed to a weak long-term fundamental strength. Its ability to service debt is limited, as reflected by an average EBIT to interest ratio of -4.38, signalling that earnings before interest and tax are insufficient to cover interest expenses.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) has been negative, consistent with the reported losses. The company’s earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes (EBITDA) have also been negative, indicating ongoing challenges in generating operational cash flow.
Despite these challenges, the company’s profits have shown a rise of 105.1% over the past year, a figure that contrasts with the stock’s price performance. The Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio stands at 16.4, suggesting that the stock is trading at a valuation level that may not align with its earnings growth trajectory.
Shareholding and Market Risks
A notable risk factor is the high proportion of promoter shares pledged, which stands at 59.85%. In declining markets, such a high level of pledged shares can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price, as pledged shares may be subject to liquidation in adverse conditions.
This factor, combined with the stock’s historical volatility and valuation metrics, contributes to its classification as a higher-risk security within the Media & Entertainment sector.
Recent Operational Highlights
In the latest six-month period ending September 2025, the company reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.4.62 crores, which is higher compared to previous periods. The half-yearly ROCE improved to 5.49%, marking the highest level in recent times. However, quarterly profit before depreciation, interest, and taxes (PBDIT) remained negative at Rs.-2.03 crores.
These mixed results indicate some improvement in profitability metrics, though the overall financial position remains under pressure.

Sector and Industry Context
Quint Digital Media operates within the Media & Entertainment industry, a sector that has experienced varied performance across different companies. While the broader market indices maintain a generally positive trend, Quint Digital Media’s stock price trajectory diverges, reflecting company-specific financial and market factors.
The sector’s performance has been mixed, with some companies benefiting from digital transformation and content monetisation, while others face challenges related to profitability and debt servicing.
Summary of Key Price and Performance Indicators
To summarise, Quint Digital Media’s stock price has declined to Rs.38.5, its lowest level in the past year, following a series of negative returns and underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector benchmarks. The stock’s position below all major moving averages underscores the prevailing downward trend.
Financially, the company faces constraints in profitability and debt servicing, with operating losses and negative ROCE. The high level of pledged promoter shares adds to the stock’s risk profile, particularly in volatile market conditions.
Recent half-yearly results show some improvement in profit after tax and ROCE, though quarterly operational earnings remain negative. These mixed signals contribute to the current market assessment of the stock.
