Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 17 Feb 2026, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd’s share price declined by 3.00% to close at Rs.90.4, its lowest level in the past year. The stock experienced an intraday high of Rs.96.65, up 3.03%, but ultimately fell to an intraday low of Rs.90.4, down 3.64%. This marks a continuation of a two-day losing streak, with the stock delivering a cumulative negative return of 5.99% over this period.
The stock’s performance today lagged behind its sector, underperforming the NBFC sector by 3.14%. It is currently trading below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — indicating sustained downward momentum.
In contrast, the broader market showed resilience. The Sensex opened flat with a minor decline of 79.48 points but rallied to close 253.29 points higher at 83,450.96, a gain of 0.21%. The Sensex remains within 3.25% of its 52-week high of 86,159.02, supported by strong performances from mega-cap stocks. While the Sensex trades below its 50-day moving average, the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, signalling a cautiously positive medium-term trend.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd has delivered a total return of -41.29%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 9.81% gain and the BSE500’s 13.53% return. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.159.95, highlighting the extent of the recent decline.
The company’s long-term fundamental strength remains modest, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 10.89%. This level of profitability is below the threshold typically favoured by investors seeking robust capital efficiency in the NBFC sector.
Despite the price decline, valuation metrics suggest the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers. The Price to Book Value stands at 1.8, which is considered very attractive given the company’s ROE of 11.5%. The Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio is 0.6, indicating that the stock’s valuation is low relative to its earnings growth potential.

Quarterly Financial Performance
Shalibhadra Finance Ltd has reported positive results for 17 consecutive quarters, demonstrating consistent operational performance. The latest quarter saw net sales reach a peak of Rs.11.12 crores, while Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes (PBDIT) hit Rs.8.01 crores, the highest recorded in recent periods. Profit Before Tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) also reached a quarterly high of Rs.6.49 crores.
Profit growth over the past year has been notable, with a 26.3% increase despite the stock’s negative price performance. This divergence between earnings growth and share price suggests valuation pressures unrelated to immediate profitability.
Promoter Activity and Shareholding
Promoter confidence appears to be strengthening, with promoters increasing their stake by 0.75% over the previous quarter. Currently, promoters hold 56.99% of the company’s equity, signalling a commitment to the business and its prospects.
This increase in promoter holding is often interpreted as a positive indicator of management’s belief in the company’s future, even as the stock price faces downward pressure.

Mojo Score and Market Capitalisation
The company’s Mojo Score currently stands at 32.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell. This represents an upgrade from a previous Strong Sell rating as of 29 Jan 2026, reflecting some improvement in the company’s outlook or market perception. The Market Cap Grade is rated 4, indicating a mid-tier market capitalisation relative to other listed NBFCs.
Despite the recent upgrade, the stock’s performance remains subdued, and it continues to trade at levels well below its 52-week high.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd’s stock has declined to Rs.90.4, its lowest price in 52 weeks, following a period of underperformance relative to the broader market and its sector peers. The stock’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a discount, supported by steady profit growth and increasing promoter shareholding. However, the company’s average ROE and overall market sentiment have contributed to the subdued price action.
While the broader market and mega-cap stocks have shown strength, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd’s share price reflects ongoing challenges in regaining investor confidence despite consistent quarterly earnings improvements.
