The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.81, representing a 9.57% drop from the previous close. This marks the lowest price level for the stock in the past 52 weeks, down from its high of Rs.156.98.
The stock has been on a consecutive four-day losing streak, accumulating a decline of 11.53% over this period. Volatility was notably high, with an intraday volatility of 5.23% calculated from the weighted average price, indicating significant price fluctuations within the session.
Technical indicators show the stock trading below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — signalling a bearish trend. This technical weakness aligns with the broader market environment, where the Sensex opened flat but later declined by 458.19 points (-0.59%) to 81,762.29. While the Sensex itself trades below its 50-day moving average, the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, suggesting mixed medium-term market signals.
Long-Term Performance and Relative Comparison
Over the past year, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd has delivered a total return of -42.35%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which posted a positive return of 9.58% during the same period. The broader BSE500 index generated returns of 14.28%, further highlighting the stock’s relative weakness within the market.
This underperformance is reflected in the company’s Mojo Score of 32.0 and a Mojo Grade of Sell, which was downgraded from Strong Sell on 29 Jan 2026. The company’s market capitalisation grade stands at 4, indicating a relatively modest market cap compared to peers.

Financial Metrics and Valuation
Despite the stock’s recent price weakness, Shalibhadra Finance Ltd has reported positive financial results for 17 consecutive quarters. The company’s latest quarterly figures include net sales reaching a high of Rs.11.12 crores, PBDIT at Rs.8.01 crores, and PBT less other income at Rs.6.49 crores.
The company’s average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 10.89%, with the most recent quarter showing an ROE of 11.5%. This level of profitability is modest within the NBFC sector but indicates some operational stability. The stock’s Price to Book Value ratio is 1.7, suggesting a valuation discount relative to its peers’ historical averages.
Profit growth over the past year has been robust, with a 26.3% increase despite the stock’s negative price returns. The company’s Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio is 0.6, which typically signals an attractive valuation when considered alongside earnings growth.
Shareholding and Promoter Activity
Promoter confidence appears to be strengthening, as promoters have increased their stake by 0.75% over the previous quarter, now holding 56.99% of the company’s shares. This incremental stake acquisition may reflect a positive outlook from the controlling shareholders despite the stock’s recent price decline.

Sector and Industry Considerations
Shalibhadra Finance Ltd operates within the NBFC sector, which has experienced varied performance in recent months. While some segments of the financial sector have shown resilience, the NBFC space has faced headwinds due to macroeconomic factors and credit environment concerns. The stock’s underperformance relative to the sector and broader market indices reflects these pressures.
In comparison, the S&P BSE Oil & Gas index hit a new 52-week high today, illustrating the divergent performance trends across sectors within the Indian equity market.
