Stock Performance and Market Context
On the day the new low was recorded, Sigachi Industries Ltd’s stock price fell by 2.73%, underperforming its sector by 2.65%. The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum. This contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex opened flat and traded slightly negative at 82,183.10, down 0.2% and still within 4.84% of its 52-week high of 86,159.02.
Over the past year, Sigachi Industries Ltd has delivered a return of -57.12%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 7.38% gain over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.59.50, highlighting the extent of the decline.
Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
The company’s recent financial results have reflected a challenging environment. Net sales declined by 13.86%, contributing to what MarketsMOJO categorises as very negative results for the quarter ending September 2025. Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs.6.03 crore, down 68.7% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. This sharp contraction in profitability has weighed heavily on investor sentiment.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for the half-year period was reported at a low 4.37%, indicating subdued efficiency in generating returns from capital invested. Meanwhile, the debt-equity ratio has risen to 2.86 times, the highest level recorded, signalling increased leverage and financial risk.
Promoter shareholding also presents a concern, with 40.32% of promoter shares pledged. This proportion has increased by 0.77% over the last quarter, which can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price, especially in a falling market environment.

Long-Term Growth and Comparative Analysis
Sigachi Industries Ltd’s long-term growth trajectory has been modest, with operating profit growing at an annualised rate of 14.74% over the past five years. Despite this, the stock’s performance has lagged behind broader market indices and sector peers. It has underperformed the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, reflecting persistent challenges in delivering shareholder value.
From a valuation standpoint, the company’s ROCE of 13.1% and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.5 suggest an attractive valuation relative to peers’ historical averages. The company also maintains a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.64 times, indicating a reasonable ability to service its debt obligations despite the elevated debt-equity ratio.
However, the stock’s recent profit decline of 7.2% over the past year further underscores the pressures on earnings growth and operational performance.

Mojo Score and Market Sentiment
MarketsMOJO assigns Sigachi Industries Ltd a Mojo Score of 26.0, categorising it with a Strong Sell grade as of 29 Jan 2026. This represents a downgrade from the previous Sell rating issued on 29 Jul 2025. The company’s market capitalisation grade stands at 3, reflecting its small-cap status within the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector.
The combination of declining sales, reduced profitability, increased leverage, and a high proportion of pledged promoter shares has contributed to the negative sentiment surrounding the stock. These factors have culminated in the stock’s fall to its lowest price point in over a year, signalling caution among market participants.
