Current Price and Market Context
As of 14 Jan 2026, Shiva Mills Ltd’s stock has touched a new 52-week low, trading well below its previous high of ₹102 recorded within the last year. This decline comes amid a broader market environment where the Sensex opened lower by 269.15 points and currently trades at 83,247.55, down 0.45%. Despite the Sensex being only 3.5% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02, Shiva Mills has not mirrored this resilience, instead showing a contrasting trend.
The stock’s performance today notably underperformed its sector, the garments and apparels industry, by 100%, and it has failed to trade on one day out of the last 20, indicating some irregularities in liquidity or investor participation. Furthermore, Shiva Mills is trading below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — signalling sustained downward momentum.
Long-Term Performance and Financial Metrics
Over the past year, Shiva Mills Ltd has delivered a return of -39.30%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 8.82% return over the same period. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock consistently lagging behind the BSE500 index in each of the previous three annual periods.
The company’s financial fundamentals have also shown signs of strain. Operating profits have declined at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of -210.36% over the last five years, indicating a significant erosion in earnings capacity. The average return on equity (ROE) stands at a modest 5.64%, reflecting limited profitability generated from shareholders’ funds.

Recent Quarterly and Dividend Data
The company’s latest quarterly results further highlight the challenges faced. Net sales for the quarter stood at ₹30.44 crores, marking the lowest quarterly sales figure recorded recently. Dividend per share (DPS) has been reported at ₹0.00, with a dividend payout ratio (DPR) also at 0.00%, indicating no returns to shareholders in the form of dividends during this period.
Valuation and Risk Considerations
Shiva Mills Ltd’s valuation metrics suggest elevated risk levels compared to its historical averages. The stock’s profits have declined by 48% over the past year, compounding the negative returns experienced by shareholders. This deterioration in profitability, combined with the stock’s trading below all major moving averages, signals a cautious outlook from the market’s perspective.
Majority ownership remains with the promoters, which may influence strategic decisions and capital allocation. However, the current market sentiment reflects concerns over the company’s ability to reverse its downward trajectory in the near term.
