Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd Falls to 52-Week Low of Rs.3.43

Stock Performance and Market Context

On 29 Jan 2026, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s share price slipped to Rs.3.43, representing a fresh 52-week low. This decline comes after a continuous seven-day losing streak, during which the stock has fallen by 22.72%. The day’s performance saw the stock underperform its sector by 3.2%, further emphasising the challenges faced by this Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC).

The broader market environment was also subdued, with the Sensex closing down 430.41 points at 81,938.55, a 0.49% decline after a flat opening. While several indices such as NIFTY COMMODITIES, NIFTY METAL, and NIFTY PSU BANK reached new 52-week highs, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s share price trend diverged sharply from these positive sectoral movements.

Technical indicators also highlight the stock’s weak momentum. It is currently trading below all key moving averages – 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day – signalling sustained downward pressure. In contrast, the Sensex, although trading below its 50-day moving average, still maintains a positive trend with its 50DMA above the 200DMA.

Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics

Over the past year, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd has experienced a steep decline of 78.78%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive return of 7.06% during the same period. This underperformance is notable given the BSE500 index’s 7.93% gain over the last twelve months, underscoring the stock’s relative weakness within the broader market.

The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.33.30, highlighting the magnitude of the recent price erosion. This sharp fall has been accompanied by deteriorating financial indicators. The company’s average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at a modest 6.89%, reflecting limited profitability relative to shareholder equity. The latest reported ROE is even lower at 4.5%, which, combined with a Price to Book Value (P/B) ratio of 3.2, suggests an expensive valuation relative to its earnings capacity.

Profitability has also declined, with profits falling by 12% over the past year. The company reported flat results in September 2025, indicating a lack of growth momentum in recent quarters. These factors contribute to the stock’s current "Strong Sell" Mojo Grade of 17.0, downgraded from a previous "Sell" rating on 1 Oct 2025.

Shareholding and Sectoral Position

Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd operates within the NBFC sector, which has seen mixed performance across its constituents. The company’s majority shareholding remains with promoters, maintaining a stable ownership structure. However, this has not translated into positive stock performance or improved market sentiment.

Despite trading at a discount compared to its peers’ historical valuations, the stock’s weak fundamentals and subdued earnings growth have weighed heavily on investor confidence. The combination of a high P/B ratio and low ROE points to valuation concerns that have not been alleviated by recent financial results.

Summary of Key Financial and Market Indicators

To summarise, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s recent decline to Rs.3.43 marks a significant low point in its share price trajectory. The stock’s performance over the last year has been markedly weaker than the broader market and its sector peers. Key financial metrics such as ROE and profit growth have shown deterioration, while valuation ratios remain elevated relative to earnings capacity.

The stock’s technical positioning below all major moving averages further reflects the prevailing negative momentum. Market conditions on 29 Jan 2026, with the Sensex also in decline, have compounded the pressure on this NBFC stock.

Investors and market participants will note the company’s downgrade to a Strong Sell grade by MarketsMOJO, reflecting the comprehensive assessment of its financial health and market standing as of the latest review.
