One-Year Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Tainwala Chemicals & Plastics has recorded a return of -37.64%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which has shown a positive return of 6.21% during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs 327, highlighting the extent of the decline to its current levels near Rs 180.
The company’s valuation metrics reveal a Price to Book Value ratio of 1, which is considered very expensive relative to its peers’ historical valuations. Despite this, the stock is trading at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its sector counterparts.
Profitability indicators show mixed signals. The company’s Return on Equity (ROE) averaged 3.33% over the long term, reflecting modest returns on shareholder capital. Operating profit has grown at an annual rate of 19.01% over the last five years, indicating some growth momentum. However, the company’s ability to service its debt appears constrained, with an average EBIT to Interest ratio of -2.17, suggesting challenges in covering interest expenses from operating earnings.
Financial Results and Growth Trends
Despite the stock’s price decline, the company has reported positive financial results in recent quarters. Net sales for the nine-month period reached Rs 11.73 crores, showing growth of 60.47%. Profit after tax (PAT) for the same period was Rs 7.24 crores, reflecting a rise of 92.04%. The quarterly earnings per share (EPS) peaked at Rs 4.15, marking the highest level recorded.
These figures indicate that while the stock price has been under pressure, the company’s core business has demonstrated revenue and profit expansion in recent periods.
Shareholding and Industry Position
Tainwala Chemicals & Plastics operates within the Plastic Products - Industrial sector. The majority shareholding is held by promoters, which often implies a concentrated ownership structure. The company’s market capitalisation grade is relatively low, reflecting its smaller scale compared to larger industrial peers.
Within the sector, the stock’s performance has lagged behind broader indices such as the BSE500, which has generated returns of 3.91% over the last year, further emphasising the stock’s relative weakness.

Technical and Market Assessment
The stock’s position below all major moving averages suggests that short-term and long-term technical indicators are aligned with a subdued price trend. This contrasts with the broader market’s technical setup, where the Sensex remains above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signalling a more positive market environment overall.
Given the stock’s recent price behaviour and valuation metrics, it remains a notable outlier within its sector and the wider market indices.
Summary of Key Metrics
Tainwala Chemicals & Plastics’ current price is close to its 52-week low of Rs 180, with a recent decline of 6.26% over three days. The stock’s one-year return stands at -37.64%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive 6.21% return. Financial results show net sales growth of 60.47% and PAT growth of 92.04% over nine months, with an EPS high of Rs 4.15 in the latest quarter. Valuation metrics indicate a Price to Book Value of 1 and a modest ROE of 3.33%. The company’s debt servicing capacity remains limited, as reflected by a negative EBIT to Interest ratio.
These factors collectively illustrate the current challenges faced by Tainwala Chemicals & Plastics within a competitive and fluctuating market environment.
