Tube Investments is currently trading 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 Sensex index opened flat and traded marginally lower by 0.12%, standing at 82,209.91 points. The Sensex remains approximately 4.8% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, with its 50-day moving average positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a generally positive medium-term trend for the market overall.

Performance Over the Past Year

Tube Investments of India Ltd has experienced a notable decline over the past year, with its share price falling by 33.29%. This contrasts sharply with the Sensex’s positive return of 7.44% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs 3419.10, highlighting the extent of the recent price erosion.

Financially, the company’s quarterly profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs 186.66 crore, reflecting a decrease of 9.7% compared to the previous corresponding period. Additionally, the company reported a debtors turnover ratio of 5.63 times in the half-yearly results, which is the lowest recorded in recent periods, suggesting slower collection efficiency.

Valuation and Financial Metrics

The company’s return on equity (ROE) is reported at 8.4%, while the price-to-book value ratio stands at 5.9, indicating a relatively high valuation compared to its earnings and net asset base. Despite this, the stock is trading at a valuation considered fair relative to its peers’ historical averages.

Over the past year, profits have declined by 19.1%, reflecting pressures on the company’s earnings. The stock’s performance has been below par not only in the near term but also over longer periods, underperforming the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.

Sector Position and Market Capitalisation

Tube Investments of India Ltd operates within the Auto Components & Equipments sector and holds a significant position as the second largest company by market capitalisation in the sector, with a market cap of Rs 44,604 crore. It accounts for 13.20% of the sector’s total market value, trailing only Rail Vikas. The company’s annual sales of Rs 20,793.88 crore represent 16.04% of the industry’s total sales.

Balance Sheet Strength and Profitability

The company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.05 times, underscoring a conservative capital structure. Its average return on capital employed (ROCE) is a robust 39.47%, signalling strong profitability per unit of capital invested, including both equity and debt.

Net sales have demonstrated healthy long-term growth, increasing at an annual rate of 40.72%, while operating profit has grown at 44.10% annually, reflecting solid underlying business expansion despite recent profit pressures.

Shareholding Pattern

Institutional investors hold a substantial 43.61% stake in the company, indicating significant interest from entities with extensive resources and analytical capabilities. This level of institutional holding often reflects confidence in the company’s fundamentals despite recent price declines.

Recent Rating Changes and Market Sentiment

On 19 Dec 2025, the company’s Mojo Grade was downgraded from Hold to Sell, reflecting a reassessment of its near-term prospects and financial performance. The current Mojo Score stands at 44.0, which aligns with the Sell rating. The market capitalisation grade is 2, indicating a mid-cap status within the sector.

Despite the recent price decline, the company’s position as a low-debt entity with strong long-term fundamentals remains evident. However, the recent financial results and valuation metrics have contributed to the subdued market sentiment and the stock’s movement to its 52-week low.
