Stock Performance and Market Context

On 13 Feb 2026, Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd’s share price fell sharply by 5.38%, underperforming the beverages sector by 4.36%. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.82.84, the lowest level recorded in the past 52 weeks, compared to its 52-week high of Rs.173.15. This decline places the stock well below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum.

In contrast, the broader market, represented by the Sensex, opened lower by 772.19 points and was trading at 82,813.40, down 1.03%. Despite this, the Sensex remains only 4.04% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, and its 50-day moving average remains above the 200-day moving average, indicating a relatively healthier market trend compared to the stock’s performance.

Financial Results and Key Metrics

Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd has reported a decline in net sales by 16.79% in its December 2025 quarter, contributing to what MarketsMOJO classifies as very negative results. The company’s profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs.4.61 crores, a steep fall of 76.0% compared to the previous period. This marks the second consecutive quarter of negative earnings results, highlighting persistent challenges in profitability.

The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year is at a low 15.79%, while the operating profit to interest coverage ratio has dropped to 2.58 times, the lowest recorded in recent periods. These indicators reflect tighter margins and increased financial strain, which have weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

Comparative Performance and Valuation

Over the past year, Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd has underperformed significantly, delivering a negative return of 26.10%, while the Sensex gained 8.77% and the BSE500 index rose by 11.16%. This divergence underscores the stock’s relative weakness within the broader market and its beverages sector peers.

Despite the recent downturn, the company maintains a ROCE of 15.6%, which is considered very attractive relative to its valuation. The enterprise value to capital employed ratio stands at 2, indicating a valuation discount compared to the average historical multiples of its peer group. However, the stock’s Mojo Score remains low at 29.0, with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, downgraded from Sell on 6 Nov 2025, reflecting ongoing concerns about its financial health and market position.

Long-Term Growth Trends

While recent quarters have been challenging, Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd has demonstrated healthy long-term growth trends. Net sales have expanded at an annual rate of 38.26%, and operating profit has grown by 44.30% annually. These figures suggest that the company has underlying growth potential, although this has yet to translate into consistent profitability in the near term.

Profitability, however, has declined by 9.1% over the past year, indicating that growth in sales has not been matched by equivalent improvements in earnings. This disparity has contributed to the stock’s subdued performance and valuation pressures.

Sector and Industry Positioning

Operating within the beverages industry and sector, Som Distilleries & Breweries Ltd faces competitive pressures that have intensified over the past year. The stock’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 3, indicating a mid-tier size relative to its peers. The company’s recent financial results and share price movements suggest that it is currently navigating a period of adjustment amid evolving market dynamics.

Its current valuation discount relative to peers may reflect market caution, given the recent declines in profitability and sales. The stock’s trading below all major moving averages further emphasises the prevailing bearish sentiment among market participants.
