Financial Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, VIP Clothing Ltd has delivered a total return of -37.49%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which gained 7.75% during the same period. The stock has also consistently lagged behind the BSE500 index in each of the last three annual periods, reflecting ongoing relative underperformance.
From a fundamental perspective, the company’s long-term financial strength remains subdued. The average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at a modest 2.66%, indicating limited efficiency in generating returns from its capital base. Additionally, the company’s ability to service debt is constrained, with a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 11.72 times, suggesting elevated leverage and potential financial risk.
Despite these concerns, VIP Clothing Ltd has reported positive results for five consecutive quarters. The latest half-year figures show a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.4.46 crores, reflecting a robust growth rate of 328.85%. Net sales for the same period increased by 20.27% to Rs.131.52 crores. The half-year ROCE improved to 8.00%, the highest in recent periods, signalling some operational improvements.
The company’s valuation metrics present a mixed picture. With a ROCE of 7.7% and an Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 1.2, the stock is trading at a discount relative to its peers’ historical averages. The Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio stands at 0.2, indicating that the stock’s price is low compared to its earnings growth rate. However, these valuation factors have not translated into positive price momentum in the market.
Shareholding and Market Sentiment
The majority of VIP Clothing Ltd’s shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may contribute to the stock’s volatility and price sensitivity. The company’s Mojo Score is 32.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, downgraded from Hold on 8 July 2025. The Market Cap Grade is 4, reflecting its mid-cap status within the Garments & Apparels sector.
The downgrade in Mojo Grade aligns with the stock’s recent price weakness and fundamental challenges, reinforcing the cautious stance reflected in the market.

Sector and Broader Market Influences
The Garments & Apparels sector has faced headwinds in recent months, with several stocks hitting new lows. VIP Clothing Ltd’s decline coincides with sector-wide pressures, including subdued demand and competitive pricing dynamics. The Sensex’s recent weakness, trading below its 50-day moving average, further compounds the challenging environment for mid-cap stocks such as VIP Clothing.
While the Sensex’s 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day average, signalling a longer-term uptrend, the short-term momentum is negative. This environment has contributed to the stock’s inability to sustain higher price levels despite some improvement in earnings and sales growth.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, VIP Clothing Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.26.79, reflecting a combination of market-wide weakness and company-specific financial factors. The stock’s one-year return of -37.49% contrasts sharply with the Sensex’s positive 7.75% gain. The company’s average ROCE of 2.66% and high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 11.72 times highlight ongoing financial constraints, despite recent improvements in profitability and sales.
Trading below all major moving averages and with a Mojo Grade of Sell, VIP Clothing Ltd remains under pressure in the current market context.
