Uravi Defence & Technology Stock Hits 52-Week Low at Rs.189

On 20 Nov 2025, Uravi Defence & Technology’s stock price touched Rs.189, its lowest level in the past year and also an all-time low. Despite opening the day with a gain of 3.45%, the stock experienced intraday volatility, reaching a high of Rs.202.35 before retreating to the low point. The stock’s day change closed at 1.65%, outperforming its sector by 2.03%, yet it remains below all key moving averages including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating a sustained downward trend.

Comparatively, the broader market showed resilience with the Nifty index closing at a new 52-week high of 26,192.15, up 0.54% on the day. The Nifty’s 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, signalling a bullish trend for the benchmark. Mega-cap stocks led the market gains, contrasting with the performance of Uravi Defence & Technology, which has been under pressure over the past year.

Uravi Defence & Technology’s 1-year stock performance shows a decline of 58.07%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s gain of 10.38% over the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.584, highlighting the extent of the price contraction. This underperformance is also evident in the company’s financial metrics, which reveal subdued profitability and valuation concerns.

Operating profit growth over the last five years has shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -12.62%, indicating a contraction in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). The company’s ability to service debt is limited, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.95 times, reflecting a relatively high leverage position. Return on Equity (ROE) averaged 4.70%, signalling modest profitability relative to shareholders’ funds.

Quarterly results for September 2025 further illustrate the challenges faced by the company. The Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (PBDIT) stood at Rs.0.62 crore, the lowest recorded in recent quarters. Operating profit to net sales ratio was 5.14%, also at a low point, while Profit Before Tax excluding other income was negative at Rs.-0.24 crore. These figures suggest limited margin expansion and pressure on earnings quality.

Valuation metrics indicate that Uravi Defence & Technology is trading at a premium relative to its capital employed, with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 4.1% and an Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 3.7. Despite this, the stock is priced at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its peers in the Auto Components & Equipments sector.

Promoter shareholding has seen a reduction of 11.91% over the previous quarter, with current holdings at 58.39%. This decrease in promoter stake may reflect a shift in confidence levels regarding the company’s prospects. The stock’s performance over the last three years, one year, and three months has been below the BSE500 index, underscoring a pattern of underperformance in both the near and longer term.

In summary, Uravi Defence & Technology’s stock reaching Rs.189 marks a significant low point amid a challenging financial backdrop. The company’s subdued profitability, elevated leverage, and reduced promoter stake contribute to the current valuation pressures. Meanwhile, the broader market environment remains buoyant, with benchmark indices achieving new highs, highlighting the divergence in performance within the Auto Components & Equipments sector.
