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 pressure.
In contrast, the broader market index, Sensex, opened flat with a marginal gain of 24.28 points but closed lower by 211.53 points at 82,157.43, down 0.23%. The Sensex remains 4.87% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, suggesting mixed signals for the broader market.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Royal India Corporation Ltd has experienced a steep decline of 72.04%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive return of 7.35% during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.23, underscoring the magnitude of the recent fall.
Despite the price decline, the company’s valuation metrics present a complex picture. The stock trades at a price-to-book value of 0.7, which is considered very attractive relative to its peers.

However, the PEG ratio remains at zero, reflecting the disconnect between earnings growth and stock price performance.
