Long-Term Performance and Financial Indicators
Over the past year, Vishal Bearings has recorded a return of -41.55%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex’s 4.01% gain during the same period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.140.70, highlighting the extent of the decline from its peak. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the company also trailing the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Financially, the company’s operating profits have shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -39.99% over the last five years, indicating contraction in core earnings. The company’s ability to service debt is constrained, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.15 times, reflecting elevated leverage relative to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.
Recent Quarterly Results and Valuation Metrics
Despite the overall negative trend, Vishal Bearings reported some positive quarterly metrics in September 2025. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio reached 3.54 times, the highest recorded, while PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest, and Taxes) stood at Rs.4.28 crores, also at a peak level. Additionally, the operating profit to net sales ratio was 19.68%, marking the highest quarterly figure for this metric.
The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) is 2.7%, which suggests a fair valuation when considered alongside an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.5. Vishal Bearings is currently trading at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its peers within the Auto Components & Equipments sector.
Sector and Market Environment
The Auto Components & Equipments sector, in which Vishal Bearings operates, has experienced mixed performance. While the broader market indices such as the Sensex maintain a bullish stance with the 50-day moving average above the 200-day moving average, Vishal Bearings’ stock has not mirrored this trend. The sector’s relative underperformance is underscored by the stock’s 3.72% lag behind the sector’s returns on the day of the new low.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Vishal Bearings’ stock has reached a significant low point at Rs.60.66, reflecting a year-long trend of subdued returns and financial pressures. The company’s operating profit contraction, high leverage, and underperformance relative to market benchmarks have contributed to this valuation level. However, certain quarterly financial ratios indicate pockets of strength within the company’s recent performance.
Market participants will note that while the broader indices maintain a positive trajectory, Vishal Bearings’ share price remains under pressure, trading below all major moving averages and lagging sector returns. The stock’s valuation discount relative to peers may be a reflection of these factors.
