Spenta International Ltd Falls to 52-Week Low of Rs.80.3 Amid Continued Downtrend

Recent Price Movement and Market Context

On the day in question, Spenta International Ltd’s stock price touched an intraday low of Rs.80.3, representing a 2.94% drop from the previous close. The stock underperformed its sector by 2.02% and has been on a downward trend for two consecutive sessions, resulting in a cumulative loss of 14.57% over this period. This decline comes amid a broader market environment where the Sensex itself experienced a negative session, falling 255.91 points or 0.35% to close at 82,951.47, after opening flat. Notably, the Sensex remains 3.87% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, and has recorded a three-week consecutive fall, losing 3.28% in that span.

Spenta International Ltd’s share price 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. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.187.25, underscoring the extent of the decline over the past year.

Financial Performance and Fundamental Metrics

Spenta International Ltd’s financial indicators reflect challenges that have contributed to the stock’s subdued performance. The company’s long-term fundamental strength is considered weak, with an average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 5.88%. The half-year ROCE has further declined to 5.07%, indicating limited efficiency in generating returns from capital investments.

Debt servicing capacity remains a concern, with an average EBIT to Interest ratio of just 1.29, suggesting limited buffer to cover interest expenses comfortably. Quarterly net sales have also shown a contraction, with the latest quarter recording Rs.10.98 crores, down 7.3% compared to the previous four-quarter average. This decline in sales volume has coincided with a 54% drop in profits over the past year.

Over the last twelve months, the stock has delivered a negative return of 47.78%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which posted a positive 7.66% return in the same period. Furthermore, Spenta International Ltd has lagged behind the broader BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, highlighting persistent underperformance relative to the market.

Valuation and Market Capitalisation

Despite the weak financial metrics, the stock’s valuation appears attractive on certain parameters. The company’s ROCE of 4.7 corresponds with a very attractive Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 0.9, indicating that the stock is trading at a discount relative to its capital base. This valuation is lower than the average historical valuations of its peers within the Garments & Apparels sector.

Spenta International Ltd holds a Market Cap Grade of 4, reflecting its micro-cap status within the sector. The majority shareholding remains with promoters, maintaining concentrated ownership.

Mojo Score and Rating Update

MarketsMOJO assigns Spenta International Ltd a Mojo Score of 26.0, categorising it under the Strong Sell grade as of 18 Nov 2025. This represents a downgrade from the previous Sell rating, reflecting deteriorating fundamentals and market sentiment. The Strong Sell rating is supported by the company’s weak long-term financial performance, limited debt servicing ability, and ongoing decline in stock price.

Summary of Key Metrics

To summarise, the stock’s key performance indicators are as follows:

• New 52-week low price: Rs.80.3


• One-year return: -47.78%


• Sensex one-year return: +7.66%


• Average ROCE: 5.88%


• Half-year ROCE: 5.07%


• EBIT to Interest ratio (average): 1.29


• Quarterly net sales: Rs.10.98 crores, down 7.3%


• Profit decline over past year: -54%


• Market Cap Grade: 4


• Mojo Grade: Strong Sell (downgraded from Sell)

These figures illustrate the challenges faced by Spenta International Ltd in maintaining growth and profitability, which have been reflected in the stock’s recent price movements and rating adjustments.

Market and Sector Comparison

Within the Garments & Apparels sector, Spenta International Ltd’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a discount compared to peers, with an Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 0.9. However, this discount accompanies weaker financial health and profitability metrics relative to sector averages. The sector itself has experienced mixed performance, with some companies maintaining stable growth while others face headwinds.

Spenta International Ltd’s stock price decline contrasts with the broader market’s modest retreat, as the Sensex remains relatively close to its 52-week high despite recent volatility. The stock’s underperformance over multiple time horizons highlights the divergence from market trends.

Conclusion

Spenta International Ltd’s fall to a 52-week low of Rs.80.3 marks a significant point in its recent market journey, underscored by weak financial returns, declining sales, and a downgrade in rating to Strong Sell. The stock’s valuation metrics indicate a discount relative to peers, but this is accompanied by fundamental challenges that have weighed on investor confidence and price performance. The company’s concentrated promoter ownership remains unchanged amid these developments.
