Stock Price Movement and Market Context
On the trading day, Wendt India Ltd’s shares touched an intraday low of Rs.7171, representing a 3.19% drop from the previous close. The stock has recorded a consecutive three-day decline, cumulatively falling by 7.03% over this period. This underperformance extends beyond the immediate session, with the stock lagging its sector by 1.19% today.
Wendt India is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling a persistent bearish momentum. This technical positioning contrasts with the broader market, where the Sensex, despite a negative opening and a fall of 530.43 points (-0.8%) to 82,904.88, remains within 3.93% of its 52-week high of 86,159.02. The Sensex’s 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day average, indicating a more stable medium-term trend compared to Wendt India’s stock.
Financial Performance and Valuation Concerns
Wendt India’s recent quarterly results have contributed to the stock’s subdued performance. The company reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.2.70 crore for the quarter ended September 2025, a sharp decline of 69.6% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Operating profitability also weakened, with PBDIT falling to Rs.6.68 crore, marking the lowest quarterly figure in recent periods.
The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year stood at 15.18%, the lowest recorded in recent assessments. Meanwhile, the return on equity (ROE) is measured at 11.1%, which, when combined with a price-to-book value of 6.1, indicates a relatively expensive valuation despite the deteriorating earnings.
Over the past year, Wendt India’s stock has delivered a negative return of 54.13%, starkly contrasting with the Sensex’s positive 7.13% gain over the same period. Profitability has also declined by 33.3% year-on-year, underscoring the challenges faced by the company in maintaining earnings growth.

Long-Term and Sectoral Performance
Wendt India’s performance over the longer term has also been below par. The stock has underperformed the BSE500 index across multiple time frames, including the last three years, one year, and three months. This persistent underperformance highlights structural issues affecting the company’s market standing within the industrial products sector.
Despite these challenges, the company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, reflecting a conservative capital structure. Additionally, management efficiency remains relatively high, with an ROE of 16.68% reported in other assessments, suggesting effective utilisation of equity capital in certain periods.
Operating profit growth has been robust on a long-term basis, with an annualised growth rate of 64.12%. However, this growth has not translated into consistent profitability or stock price appreciation in recent quarters.
Shareholding and Market Capitalisation
The majority of Wendt India’s shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may influence liquidity and trading patterns. The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 3, indicating a mid-tier market cap status within its sector.
On 6 Oct 2025, the company’s Mojo Grade was downgraded from Sell to Strong Sell, reflecting a reassessment of its financial health and market prospects. The current Mojo Score stands at 28.0, reinforcing the cautious stance on the stock’s near-term outlook.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Wendt India Ltd’s stock has reached a new 52-week low of Rs.7171, reflecting a sustained decline over recent months. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.15,790, highlighting the extent of the correction. The company’s financial indicators, including a 69.6% drop in quarterly PAT and a low ROCE of 15.18%, have contributed to the negative sentiment.
Valuation metrics such as a price-to-book ratio of 6.1 and an ROE of 11.1 suggest the stock remains relatively expensive despite the price decline. The company’s market cap grade of 3 and Mojo Score of 28.0, alongside a Strong Sell rating, further illustrate the challenges faced by Wendt India in the current market environment.
While the broader Sensex index remains resilient, Wendt India’s stock continues to trade below all major moving averages, underscoring the prevailing downward momentum.
Conclusion
Wendt India Ltd’s fall to its 52-week low is a reflection of multiple factors including weakening profitability, valuation concerns, and sustained underperformance relative to the broader market and sector peers. The stock’s technical indicators and financial metrics point to a cautious environment for the company’s shares as of early 2026.
