Raymond stock has faced significant challenges in 2025, with poor sales growth, a sharp price decline, and mixed analyst opinions about its future prospects.

Current Performance

• Share price is around ₹599.60 as of August 2025, down about 69.85% over the past year and 53.64% over the past six months.
• The company’s consolidated June 2025 net sales dropped 44% year-on-year.

Key Pros & Cons

Pros

• Debt reduction: Raymond has made efforts to reduce its overall debt.
• Stock is trading at almost its book value (P/B ratio ~1) and may be attractive for value-focused investors.
• Some analysts expect future quarterly improvements, possibly driven by automation and aerospace ventures.

Cons

• Poor long-term sales growth: Compounded 5-year sales and profit growth have been negative (-21% and -32%, respectively).
• Recent sharp contraction in revenue and profits.
• Daily technical analysis signals potential for further short-term declines due to bearish momentum.
• Dividend payout is low at just 2.61% of profits over the last three years.

Analyst Recommendations

• One major brokerage (Motilal Oswal) has a strong buy recommendation, with a long-term target up to ₹3,000, but the average analyst score remains mixed due to fundamental concerns.
• Technical forecasts place price targets around ₹903 for 2026, but uncertainty persists about reaching prior highs.
