Stock Performance and Market Context
On 19 Jan 2026, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s share price touched Rs.4.3, the lowest level recorded in the past year. This decline comes after two consecutive days of losses, during which the stock has fallen by 4.44%. The day’s trading saw the stock underperform its sector by 2.36%, reflecting a challenging environment for the Non Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector.
The stock is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained downward momentum. This technical positioning indicates a lack of short- to long-term price support, which may be contributing to the ongoing price weakness.
Meanwhile, the broader market has also experienced pressure. The Sensex opened flat but declined by 525.47 points, or 0.72%, closing at 82,969.02. Despite this, the Sensex remains only 3.84% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02. However, it is noteworthy that the Sensex has been on a three-week losing streak, shedding 3.26% over this period. The index is trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50DMA remains above the 200DMA, suggesting some underlying resilience in the market.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd has delivered a return of -80.22%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive 8.29% gain over the same period. This substantial underperformance highlights the stock’s challenges relative to the broader market and its sector peers.
The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.33.3, underscoring the magnitude of the decline to the current low of Rs.4.3. This represents an approximate 87% drop from the peak price, reflecting significant erosion in investor value over the last twelve months.
From a valuation standpoint, the company’s Price to Book Value stands at 3.8, which is considered expensive relative to its historical averages and peer group. Despite this, the stock is trading at a discount compared to the average historical valuations of its peers, indicating some market scepticism about its growth prospects and financial health.

Financial Health and Profitability Indicators
Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s financial metrics reveal ongoing concerns. The company’s average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 6.89%, which is relatively weak for the NBFC sector. The most recent reported ROE is 4.5%, indicating a decline in profitability efficiency.
Profitability has also deteriorated over the past year, with profits falling by 12%. This decline in earnings has coincided with the stock’s steep price drop, reflecting investor caution regarding the company’s ability to generate sustainable returns.
The company reported flat results in the quarter ending September 2025, which did not provide any significant positive momentum to the stock price. The combination of subdued earnings growth and valuation concerns has contributed to the stock’s current status as a strong sell, as reflected in its Mojo Grade of 17.0, upgraded from a previous Sell rating on 1 Oct 2025.
Shareholding and Market Capitalisation
The majority shareholding of Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd remains with the promoters, indicating concentrated ownership. The company holds a Market Cap Grade of 4, suggesting a relatively modest market capitalisation within its sector.
Despite the company’s challenges, the stock continues to be monitored closely due to its significant price movements and sector positioning.

Summary of Key Metrics
To summarise, Worth Investment & Trading Company Ltd’s stock has reached a 52-week low of Rs.4.3, reflecting a year-long decline of over 80%. The company’s financial indicators, including a subdued ROE and declining profits, alongside an expensive Price to Book ratio, have weighed on investor sentiment. The stock’s technical positioning below all major moving averages further underscores the current bearish trend.
While the broader market has experienced some volatility, the company’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and its sector peers remains pronounced. The concentrated promoter ownership and modest market capitalisation add further context to the stock’s profile.
These factors collectively explain the stock’s recent price behaviour and its classification as a strong sell by MarketsMOJO, with a Mojo Score of 17.0 as of 19 Jan 2026.
