Financial Performance and Recent Results
The company’s recent quarterly results have been notably weak. Net sales for the quarter stood at Rs.420.40 crores, reflecting a steep decline of 70.75% compared to the previous period. Profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) registered a loss of Rs.0.58 crores, a fall of 102.43%. Net profit after tax (PAT) also declined sharply by 91.7%, amounting to Rs.1.47 crores.
This marks the second consecutive quarter of negative results for Shankara Building Products Ltd, underscoring the challenges faced in maintaining revenue and profitability levels. The company’s long-term growth rates have also been modest, with net sales growing at an annualised rate of just 5.23% and operating profit increasing by a mere 1.44% over the last five years.
Institutional Investor Activity
Institutional investors have reduced their holdings in the company by 3.64% over the previous quarter, now collectively holding 18.81% of the stock. This decline in institutional participation may reflect a reassessment of the company’s fundamentals by investors with greater analytical resources and longer-term perspectives.
Valuation and Financial Ratios
Despite the recent setbacks, Shankara Building Products Ltd maintains a relatively strong ability to service its debt, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.79 times. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at 17.1%, which is considered attractive within the building products sector. Additionally, the enterprise value to capital employed ratio is 0.6, indicating a valuation discount relative to peers’ historical averages.
However, the company’s profitability has contracted significantly, with profits falling by 57.2% over the past year. The price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio is 0.1, reflecting the low growth expectations priced into the stock.

Sector and Market Environment
The building products sector, in which Shankara operates, has experienced a general decline, with the Construction Material segment falling by 2.81% on the day the stock hit its 52-week low.

Shankara’s market capitalisation grade is rated 4, reflecting its size and liquidity characteristics within the sector. The company’s Mojo Score currently stands at 34.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, an improvement from a previous Strong Sell rating as of 2 Feb 2026, indicating a slight easing in negative sentiment but still reflecting caution.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Shankara Building Products Ltd’s stock has declined to Rs.100.1, its lowest level in 52 weeks, following a series of quarterly results marked by steep declines in sales and profits. Institutional investors have reduced their stakes, and the stock continues to trade below all major moving averages. While the company maintains a strong debt servicing capacity and attractive ROCE, its recent financial performance and relative underperformance against benchmarks have weighed on its share price.
Conclusion

The stock’s fall to a 52-week low highlights the challenges faced by Shankara Building Products Ltd in reversing its recent performance trends amid a cautious sectoral and market environment.
