Reliance Infrastructure Ltd Falls to 52-Week Low Amidst Continued Downtrend

Stock Price Movement and Market Context

On 9 Feb 2026, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (Stock ID: 400868) opened sharply lower by 4.79%, touching an intraday low of Rs.114.35, which represents its lowest price level in the past year. The stock has been on a three-day losing streak, cumulatively falling by 12.33% during this period. This decline contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex opened higher at 84,177.51, gaining 0.71% before settling at 83,883.54, still up by 0.36% on the day.

While the Sensex has been on a three-week consecutive rise, gaining 2.88%, and is only 2.71% away from its 52-week high of 86,159.02, Reliance Infrastructure’s stock performance remains notably weak. The stock has underperformed its sector by 3.32% today and continues to trade below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling persistent bearish momentum.

Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics

Over the past year, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd has delivered a negative return of 59.57%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 7.74% return over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.425, highlighting the extent of the decline to the current low of Rs.114.35. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock lagging the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.

From a valuation perspective, the company’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at a modest 4.58%, reflecting weak long-term fundamental strength. The Debt to EBITDA ratio is elevated at 7.32 times, indicating a relatively low capacity to service debt obligations. Despite these challenges, the stock’s Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio is 0.4, suggesting a valuation discount relative to its peers’ historical averages.

Recent Financial Results

The company’s latest quarterly results reveal a subdued financial performance. Profit Before Tax excluding Other Income (PBT LESS OI) stood at Rs.221.02 crores, representing a sharp decline of 89.5% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Net sales for the quarter were Rs.4,296.52 crores, down 19.3% from the prior average, while the Profit After Tax (PAT) was negative at Rs.-8.88 crores, a fall of 100.9% relative to the previous four-quarter average.

These figures underscore the challenges faced by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd in maintaining revenue growth and profitability in the near term.

Institutional Investor Activity

Institutional investors have reduced their holdings by 1.57% over the previous quarter, now collectively holding 6.79% of the company’s shares. This decline in institutional participation may reflect concerns about the company’s financial metrics and market outlook, given the greater analytical resources available to these investors.

Comparative Market Position and Ratings

Reliance Infrastructure Ltd operates within the Power industry and sector, where it faces competitive pressures. The company’s Mojo Score is 26.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell on 5 Feb 2026. The Market Cap Grade is 3, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation compared to peers.

The stock’s day change of -3.00% today further emphasises the ongoing downward pressure. Despite the broader market’s positive momentum, Reliance Infrastructure’s share price continues to reflect caution among market participants.

Profitability Trends and Valuation Considerations

While the stock has experienced a significant decline in price, it is notable that profits have risen by 1010.2% over the past year. This divergence between profit growth and share price performance may reflect market concerns about sustainability and other financial metrics.

Reliance Infrastructure Ltd’s ROCE of 3.8, although modest, combined with its valuation discount relative to peers, indicates that the stock is trading at a level that some may consider attractive from a purely valuation standpoint. However, the company’s elevated debt levels and subdued recent earnings performance continue to weigh on sentiment.

Summary of Key Metrics

To summarise, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.114.35, reflecting a year-to-date decline and a longer-term downtrend. The company’s financial indicators reveal challenges in profitability and debt servicing capacity, while institutional investor participation has decreased. Despite some positive profit growth, the overall market response remains cautious, as evidenced by the stock’s Mojo Grade of Strong Sell and its underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers.
