Indian Toners & Developers Ltd has been downgraded to a Sell rating following flat quarterly earnings, weakening profitability ratios, and continued stock underperformance. The company operates in the specialty chemicals sector, focusing on dyes and pigments, but recent financial results have dampened investor sentiment.
In Q2 FY25-26, Indian Toners reported operating profit of ₹7.28 crore, the lowest in recent quarters, with operating margins slipping to 18.74%. Profitability indicators also weakened, with ROCE at 15.73% and ROE at 12.2%, levels considered modest for a specialty chemicals company.
Despite a debt-free balance sheet, attractive valuation metrics such as a Price-to-Book ratio of 1.2, a PEG ratio of 0.6, and a dividend yield of 4.2%, the stock has failed to deliver returns. Over the past year, Indian Toners shares have declined more than 15%, significantly underperforming benchmark indices like the Sensex.
Analysts note that while the valuation appears inexpensive, lack of earnings growth, margin pressure, and weak technical indicators continue to weigh on the stock, supporting the downgrade until a sustained recovery becomes visible.
