Weizmann Ltd Stock Falls to 52-Week Low Amidst Continued Downtrend

Recent Price Movement and Market Context

On 20 Jan 2026, Weizmann Ltd’s stock price closed just 1.83% above its 52-week low of Rs 86.6, reflecting a persistent downward trend. The stock has experienced a consecutive three-day decline, resulting in a cumulative loss of 4.69% over this period. Despite this, it marginally outperformed its sector by 0.63% on the day. Notably, the stock has traded erratically, missing trading activity on one day in the last 20 sessions.

Technical indicators show Weizmann Ltd trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. This contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex, despite a negative close at 82,823.56 (down 0.51%), remains 4.03% shy of its 52-week high of 86,159.02. The Sensex itself has been on a three-week losing streak, down 3.43% over that span.

Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics

Over the past year, Weizmann Ltd’s stock has delivered a return of -32.40%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s positive 7.47% return. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs 142, underscoring the extent of the recent decline. The company’s long-term growth has been modest, with net sales increasing at an annualised rate of 9.40% and operating profit growing at 14.78% over the last five years.

Financial ratios further highlight challenges. The company reports a return on equity (ROE) of -5.5%, indicating negative profitability relative to shareholder equity. Its price-to-book value stands at 2.2, suggesting a valuation premium despite the stock’s recent price weakness. However, this valuation is discounted compared to peers’ historical averages.

Profitability has deteriorated sharply, with profits falling by 147.6% over the past year. This has contributed to the stock’s underperformance relative to the BSE500 index across multiple time frames, including the last three years, one year, and three months.

Financial Strength and Recent Operational Data

Despite the stock’s price decline, Weizmann Ltd maintains a strong capacity to service its debt, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.58 times. This indicates a manageable leverage position relative to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation.

Recent financial results for the six months ending September 2025 show some positive trends. Net sales reached Rs 65.87 crores, growing at 25.66% compared to prior periods. Operating cash flow for the year was the highest recorded at Rs 13.68 crores, and profit after tax (PAT) for the latest six months stood at Rs 3.19 crores, reflecting an improvement in absolute terms.

The company’s shareholding structure remains concentrated, with promoters holding the majority stake, which may influence strategic decisions and long-term direction.

Sector and Market Comparison

Weizmann Ltd operates within the Garments & Apparels sector, which has seen mixed performance amid broader market volatility. While the Sensex has shown resilience relative to Weizmann’s stock, the sector’s average valuations and performance metrics provide context for the stock’s relative discount. The company’s current Mojo Score is 37.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, downgraded from Hold as of 29 Jul 2025, reflecting a reassessment of its market standing and outlook.

Market capitalisation grading places Weizmann Ltd at a level 4, indicating a micro-cap status with associated liquidity and volatility considerations. The stock’s day change on the latest trading session was a modest 0.18%, showing limited intraday movement despite the recent downtrend.

Summary of Key Metrics

To summarise, Weizmann Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs 86.6, closing near this level after a sustained period of decline. The stock’s performance over the last year has been notably weaker than the broader market, with a negative return of 32.40% compared to the Sensex’s positive 7.47%. Profitability metrics and valuation ratios indicate challenges, with a negative ROE and a price-to-book ratio above 2.0 despite the stock’s depressed price.

Recent financial data shows some improvement in sales growth and cash flow generation, but these have not yet translated into a reversal of the stock’s downward trend. The company’s low leverage ratio remains a positive aspect amid the current market environment.

Overall, the stock’s current position reflects a combination of subdued growth, valuation pressures, and market sentiment within the Garments & Apparels sector.
