Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On 11 Feb 2026, Trident Texofab Ltd opened sharply lower at Rs.138.5, down 4.97% from the previous close, and traded at this level throughout the day, hitting an intraday low that also represents its new 52-week trough. This decline outpaced the sector’s underperformance, with the stock lagging the Garments & Apparels sector by 4.79% on the day.
The stock currently trades below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling a persistent bearish trend. This technical positioning underscores the downward momentum that has been building over recent weeks.
In contrast, the broader market has shown resilience. The Sensex, after a flat opening, traded marginally lower by 0.08% at 84,205.92 points, remaining just 2.32% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02. The index has been on a three-week consecutive rise, gaining 3.27%, supported by bullish moving averages where the 50-day DMA remains above the 200-day DMA.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Trident Texofab Ltd has underperformed significantly, delivering a negative return of 16.06%, while the Sensex has appreciated by 10.39%. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.379, highlighting the extent of the recent decline.
Fundamental analysis reveals a weak long-term financial profile. The company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 6.88%, indicating modest efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Additionally, the firm’s ability to service debt is constrained, with a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.83 times, suggesting elevated leverage and potential financial strain.
Despite these concerns, the company has reported positive quarterly results for the last four consecutive quarters. The highest quarterly PBDIT reached Rs.2.48 crores, with an operating profit to net sales ratio peaking at 8.10%. Quarterly Profit Before Tax excluding other income also hit a high of Rs.1.12 crores, reflecting some operational improvements.

Valuation and Comparative Analysis
Trident Texofab Ltd’s ROCE for the latest quarter improved slightly to 7.4%, accompanied by a fair valuation metric with an Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 2.8. The stock currently trades at a discount relative to its peers’ average historical valuations, which may reflect market caution given the company’s financial profile and recent price action.
Profit growth over the past year has been notable, with a 62.6% increase in profits despite the stock’s negative price returns. This disparity is reflected in a PEG ratio of 8, indicating that earnings growth has not translated into share price appreciation.
The shareholder base remains predominantly non-institutional, which may influence liquidity and trading dynamics.

Mojo Score and Rating Update
MarketsMOJO assigns Trident Texofab Ltd a Mojo Score of 26.0, categorising it as a Strong Sell. This rating was upgraded from a Sell on 3 Feb 2026, reflecting a deterioration in the company’s overall financial health and market standing. The Market Cap Grade is 4, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation within its sector.
The downgrade in rating aligns with the stock’s sustained price weakness and fundamental concerns, including its leverage and return metrics.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Trident Texofab Ltd’s stock has declined to Rs.138.5, its lowest level in 52 weeks, after a prolonged downtrend spanning 17 trading sessions. The stock’s performance contrasts sharply with the broader market’s positive momentum, underscoring company-specific pressures. While quarterly profitability has shown improvement, the company’s leverage and return ratios remain subdued, contributing to its current valuation and rating status.
Investors and market participants will note the divergence between profit growth and share price performance, as well as the stock’s technical positioning below all major moving averages, which collectively paint a cautious picture of the company’s near-term market trajectory.
