Stock Performance and Market Context
On 29 Jan 2026, Winsome Textile Industries Ltd (Stock ID: 519246), operating in the Garments & Apparels sector, recorded a day change of -1.51%, closing at Rs.65, its lowest level in the past year. This new low contrasts sharply with the stock’s 52-week high of Rs.122.45, reflecting a decline of approximately 46.9% from its peak. Over the last 12 months, the stock has delivered a negative return of -36.77%, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which posted a positive 7.43% return over the same period.
While the broader market, represented by the Sensex, opened flat and traded slightly lower at 82,220.57 points (-0.15%), it remains within 4.79% of its own 52-week high of 86,159.02. The Sensex’s 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, signalling a generally positive medium-term trend for the market. In contrast, Winsome Textile is trading below all key moving averages – 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day – indicating sustained downward momentum for the stock.
Financial Metrics and Debt Servicing Concerns
One of the critical factors weighing on Winsome Textile’s stock price is its relatively weak ability to service debt. The company’s average EBIT to interest ratio stands at 1.92, a level that suggests limited cushion to cover interest expenses comfortably. This ratio is a key indicator of financial health, and a figure below 2.0 often signals potential stress in meeting debt obligations.
Interest expenses have also increased notably, with the latest six-month interest cost reported at Rs.25.71 crores, representing a growth of 20.37%. This rise in interest burden adds pressure on the company’s earnings and cash flows, contributing to investor caution.
Additionally, the company reported flat financial results in the September 2025 quarter, which did not provide any immediate catalyst for positive stock movement. The combination of rising interest costs and stagnant earnings has likely contributed to the stock’s decline.

Long-Term and Relative Performance
Winsome Textile’s underperformance extends beyond the last year. The stock has lagged behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months, indicating persistent challenges in generating shareholder value relative to the broader market and its peers. This trend has been reflected in the company’s Mojo Score of 40.0 and a Mojo Grade of Sell, downgraded from Hold on 26 Sep 2025, signalling a cautious stance on the stock’s prospects based on fundamental analysis.
The company’s market capitalisation grade is rated at 4, reflecting its size and liquidity characteristics within the Garments & Apparels sector.
Valuation and Efficiency Metrics
Despite the stock’s recent weakness, Winsome Textile exhibits some positive financial attributes. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) is a robust 16.43%, indicating efficient use of capital to generate profits. This level of management efficiency is a notable strength amid other concerns.
Valuation metrics also suggest the stock is trading at a discount compared to its peers. With a ROCE of 14.7 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 0.7, the company’s valuation appears attractive relative to historical averages within the sector. However, this valuation discount has not translated into positive price momentum over the past year.
Profit growth over the last year has been modest, with a 2.2% increase in profits, while the price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio stands at 2.3, indicating that earnings growth has not kept pace with the stock’s valuation multiples.
Institutional Holdings and Market Position
Institutional investors hold a significant stake in Winsome Textile, with 20.54% of shares owned by entities with greater analytical resources and longer-term investment horizons. This level of institutional ownership reflects a degree of confidence in the company’s fundamentals despite recent price declines.
