This new low follows a sequence of declines, although the stock showed a modest gain today after five consecutive sessions of falling prices. Despite this slight uptick, the stock remains below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating persistent downward momentum.
In comparison, the broader market displayed relative resilience.

The benchmark index remains close to its 52-week high of 86,159.02, just 0.75% away, supported by bullish trends in its moving averages. Mid-cap stocks led gains with the BSE Mid Cap index rising by 0.22% on the day.
Financial Performance and Earnings Trends
T.V. Today Network’s financial results have reflected a challenging environment over recent quarters. The company reported net sales of Rs.187.55 crore in the latest quarter, which is 15.3% lower than the average of the previous four quarters. This decline in sales has contributed to a series of negative quarterly results, with the company posting losses in operating profit and a subdued profit after tax (PAT).
The PAT for the most recent quarter stood at Rs.5.63 crore, representing a 29.6% reduction compared to the average PAT of the preceding four quarters. Additionally, the company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year period was recorded at 4.68%, the lowest level observed in recent times.

Long-Term Growth and Valuation Considerations
Over the past five years, T.V. Today Network’s operating profit has shown a negative compound annual growth rate of approximately -155.13%, reflecting a prolonged period of contraction in core earnings. This trend has contributed to the stock’s underperformance relative to broader market indices. The company’s one-year stock return stands at -32.50%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive return of 6.57% over the same period.
Furthermore, the stock’s valuation appears elevated relative to its historical averages, with profitability metrics declining by around 72.5% over the last year. Despite these challenges, the company offers a dividend yield of 2.2%, which is notable given the current share price level.
Balance Sheet and Shareholding Structure
T.V. Today Network maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio, averaging close to zero, indicating minimal reliance on borrowed funds. The majority shareholding remains with promoters, providing a stable ownership base. However, the company’s recent financial results and share price trajectory highlight ongoing pressures within the Media & Entertainment sector.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, the stock’s recent low of Rs.135.35 represents a significant milestone in its price trajectory, underscored by:
- Net sales decline of 5.49% in the latest reported period

- Return on capital employed at a low 4.68% for the half-year
- Profit after tax falling by 29.6% compared to recent quarterly averages

These factors collectively illustrate the challenges faced by T.V. Today Network in the current market environment.
Market Outlook and Recent Price Action
Despite the recent low, the stock recorded a slight positive movement today, gaining after a series of declines. This movement was in line with the sector’s performance, which showed modest gains. The broader market’s near-record levels and mid-cap leadership contrast with the subdued performance of T.V. Today Network, highlighting the divergence within the Media & Entertainment space.
Conclusion
T.V. Today Network’s fall to a 52-week low of Rs.135.35 reflects ongoing pressures on its financial performance and market valuation. The company’s recent quarterly results, long-term earnings trends, and share price behaviour indicate a period of subdued growth and profitability. While the stock’s dividend yield remains notable, the overall financial metrics and market positioning suggest a cautious environment for the company’s shares.
