However, it remains well below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum.
In contrast, the Sensex opened flat but later declined by 238.81 points, or 0.33%, closing at 82,968.57.

While the Sensex trades below its 50-day moving average, the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, indicating some underlying resilience in the broader market.

Valuation and Profitability Metrics
Windsor Machines Ltd’s current valuation metrics reflect a premium compared to its peers. The stock trades at a Price to Book Value (P/BV) of 2.9, which is considered expensive relative to the industry average. This elevated valuation is notable given the company’s modest profitability, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of just 1.84%. Such a low ROE indicates limited efficiency in generating profits from shareholders’ funds.
Furthermore, the company’s PEG ratio stands at 5.9, suggesting that the stock price is high relative to its earnings growth. Despite a 117.2% increase in profits over the past year, the stock has not reflected this improvement in its price performance, which may be attributed to concerns over valuation and other factors.
Shareholding and Promoter Pledge
Another factor contributing to the stock’s pressure is the high level of promoter share pledging. Currently, 40.04% of promoter shares are pledged, an increase of 13.68% over the last quarter. Elevated pledged shares can exert additional downward pressure on stock prices, particularly in volatile or declining markets, as it raises concerns about potential forced selling.
Financial Strength and Recent Results
On a positive note, Windsor Machines Ltd maintains a low average Debt to Equity ratio of 0.06 times, indicating a conservative capital structure with limited reliance on debt financing. The company has also reported strong growth in operating profit, which increased by 202.61% in the most recent quarter. Net sales for the quarter stood at Rs.136.64 crores, reflecting a growth of 129.99%, while Profit Before Tax excluding other income rose by 163.08% to Rs.2.70 crores.
The company has declared positive results for four consecutive quarters, with the operating profit to interest ratio reaching a high of 8.26 times in the latest quarter, signalling robust coverage of interest expenses.

Mojo Score and Analyst Ratings
Windsor Machines Ltd currently holds a Mojo Score of 41.0, which corresponds to a Sell grade. This rating was downgraded from Hold on 4 Sep 2025, reflecting a reassessment of the company’s prospects and valuation. The market capitalisation grade stands at 3, indicating a relatively modest market size within its sector.
The downgrade and current rating align with the stock’s recent price performance and valuation concerns, underscoring the cautious stance reflected in the market.
Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Windsor Machines Ltd’s stock has declined to Rs.229.45, its lowest level in 52 weeks, amid a broader market downturn and company-specific valuation pressures. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and its sector, combined with a high promoter pledge and premium valuation metrics, have contributed to the current price level. Despite strong recent growth in sales and operating profit, the company’s low ROE and elevated PEG ratio continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
While the company’s conservative debt position and positive quarterly results provide some stability, the stock remains below all major moving averages, indicating ongoing downward momentum in the near term.
