Stock Price Movement and Market Context
The stock recorded an intraday high of Rs.459.85, up 2.19% from its previous close, but ultimately settled at the new low of Rs.448.85. This represents a day change of 1.82%, outperforming its sector by 2.04%. Despite this relative outperformance, the stock remains below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating sustained downward momentum.
In contrast, the broader market showed resilience today. The Sensex, after opening 100.91 points lower, rebounded by 296.55 points to trade at 81,733.34, a gain of 0.24%. Mega-cap stocks led this recovery, while indices such as NIFTY MEDIA and NIFTY REALTY also hit new 52-week lows, reflecting sector-specific pressures.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics

Financial Ratios and Profitability Indicators
The company reported a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 12.80% in the half-year period, which is the lowest recorded level. Operating cash flow for the year stood at Rs.65.48 crores, also at a low point. The debtors turnover ratio for the half-year was 5.51 times, indicating slower collection efficiency compared to previous periods.
Despite these challenges, the company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, reflecting a conservative capital structure. Its return on equity (ROE) is 9.5%, and the stock trades at a price-to-book value of 0.8, suggesting an attractive valuation relative to its book value. However, the stock is priced at a premium compared to the historical valuations of its peers.
Shareholding and Promoter Activity
Promoter confidence appears to be waning, as evidenced by a 1.39% reduction in promoter stake over the previous quarter. Currently, promoters hold 60.45% of the company’s shares. This decrease may reflect a cautious stance on the company’s near-term prospects.
The stock’s performance has been below par not only in the last year but also over the last three years and three months, underperforming the BSE500 index consistently across these time frames.

Mojo Score and Market Capitalisation
The company’s Mojo Score currently stands at 28.0, categorised as a Strong Sell, an upgrade from the previous Sell rating as of 29 December 2025. The market cap grade is 4, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation within its sector.
These ratings reflect the company’s subdued growth prospects and recent financial performance, which have weighed on investor sentiment and contributed to the stock’s decline to its 52-week low.
Summary of Key Performance Indicators
To summarise, Sree Rayalaseema Hi-Strength Hypo Ltd’s stock has experienced a notable decline over the past year, with a 26.81% drop in price contrasting with the broader market’s positive returns. The company’s financial metrics reveal pressures on profitability and cash flow, alongside a reduction in promoter holdings. While valuation metrics such as ROE and price-to-book value suggest some underlying value, the overall trend remains subdued.
Market and Sector Comparison
Within the Commodity Chemicals sector, the stock’s performance has lagged behind peers, and the sector itself has faced headwinds, as reflected by other indices hitting 52-week lows today. The broader market’s recovery, led by mega-cap stocks, has not translated into a rebound for this stock, which remains below all major moving averages.
Conclusion
The new 52-week low of Rs.448.85 for Sree Rayalaseema Hi-Strength Hypo Ltd underscores the challenges faced by the company in maintaining growth and profitability amid a competitive and fluctuating market environment. The combination of declining sales, subdued returns, and reduced promoter stake has contributed to the current valuation and market position.
