Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
Valiant Laboratories Ltd’s financial indicators reveal a challenging scenario. The company has experienced a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -49.92% in operating profits over the last five years, reflecting a sustained decline in core profitability. The ability to service debt is constrained, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of 0.65, indicating limited earnings relative to interest obligations.
Profitability metrics remain subdued, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 0.80%, signalling low returns generated on shareholders’ funds. The latest reported ROE stands at 1.6%, while the Price to Book Value ratio is 1.1, suggesting the stock is valued expensively relative to its book value despite its recent price fall. However, the stock trades at a discount compared to its peers’ average historical valuations.
Interestingly, despite the stock’s negative return of 43.23% over the past year, the company’s profits have risen by 150.8% during the same period, resulting in a Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio of 0.5. This divergence between profit growth and stock price performance highlights complexities in market valuation and investor sentiment.
Recent Sales and Profit Trends
In the latest six-month period, Valiant Laboratories Ltd reported net sales of Rs.93.02 crores, reflecting a robust growth rate of 130.48%. Correspondingly, the profit after tax (PAT) for the same period was Rs.2.02 crores, marking a 138.48% increase. These figures indicate positive momentum in revenue and earnings despite the stock’s downward price trajectory.
The company has declared positive results for the last three consecutive quarters, which contrasts with the stock’s declining market value. This disparity may be influenced by broader market trends and valuation concerns rather than immediate financial performance.
Shareholding and Market Position
The majority shareholding in Valiant Laboratories Ltd is held by promoters, which often implies a stable ownership structure. The company operates within the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector, a space characterised by significant regulatory and competitive pressures.
Despite the recent price decline, the stock’s Mojo Score stands at 23.0 with a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from a previous Sell rating on 17 Nov 2025. The Market Cap Grade is 4, reflecting the company’s mid-cap status within the market.

Comparative Performance and Sectoral Context
Valiant Laboratories Ltd has underperformed not only the Sensex but also the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months. This consistent underperformance highlights challenges in maintaining competitive positioning within the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector.
The stock’s decline to Rs.63.05 represents a significant retracement from its 52-week high of Rs.123.60, underscoring the volatility experienced by the company’s shares. The sector itself has shown mixed trends, with Valiant Laboratories Ltd’s performance lagging behind peers and broader market indices.
Trading below all major moving averages suggests a prevailing bearish trend in the stock’s price action, which has not been reversed despite recent quarterly profit improvements and sales growth.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Valiant Laboratories Ltd’s stock has reached a new low of Rs.63.05, reflecting a 43.23% decline over the past year. The company’s operating profits have contracted at a CAGR of -49.92% over five years, while recent sales and PAT growth have been strong. The stock’s valuation metrics indicate an expensive price to book ratio despite trading at a discount to peers, and profitability remains modest with an average ROE below 1%.
Market conditions, including a weakening Sensex and sectoral pressures, have contributed to the stock’s downward trajectory. The company’s financial fundamentals and share price trends present a complex picture of contrasting growth in earnings and declining market valuation.
