Railway Stocks: Once considered potential multi-baggers, railroad stocks have been on a downward trend in 2025, with some of them hitting 52-week lows. Heavy selling, poor third-quarter results and post-budget reactions have added to the pressure on these stocks. Shares of Companies like RVNL, IRFC, Railtel, and Tittagarh Rail Systems have declined up to 5% in today's trading session i.e. February 18. The stocks have seen their share prices fall significantly since the start of this year as well.
RVNL Share Price
RVNL shares have fallen sharply, down more than 23.5% year-on-year. At around 1:13 pm today, the stock was trading at Rs 326.20, down 4.75% from the previous session. It has fallen more than 7.5% in the last five days.
The company reported a 13% decline in consolidated net profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 to Rs 311.58 crore from Rs 358.57 crore a year ago. The poor financial performance has contributed to the negative sentiment around the stock, which is now a long way from its 52-week high of Rs 647.
IRFC Share Price
IRFC has also faced a bearish trend, with its stock price falling more than 21% so far this year. At around 1:16 pm, shares were trading down 2.79% at Rs 118.38. In the last five trading sessions alone, it has fallen more than 3.5%.
The company's third-quarter performance failed to impress investors, with its profit growing by just 2% and revenue growth stagnating. The lack of strong economic momentum has continued to put selling pressure on the stock, which is near a 52-week low of Rs 116.65.
Railtel Share Price
RailTel Railway stocks were the worst hit, with its share price down more than 29% compared to the last year. The stock fell more than 5% in intraday trading today, taking its five-day losses to more than 9%. While net profit rose 4.7% to Rs 65 crore in the third quarter, the company reported a 6.6% decline in EBITDA to Rs 121 crore. This led to its EBITDA margin falling to 15.8% from 19.4% in the same quarter last year. Weak profitability has further dented investor confidence in the stock.
Titagarh Rail System Share Price
Titagarh Rail System is also in trouble, having hit a 52-week low for the past two consecutive days. At around 1:20 pm, the stock was trading at Rs 751.50, down 2.60% from the previous session. It has lost over 7.5% in the last five trading sessions and has lost over 32% so far this year. The company's Q3 results disappointed investors, with net profit falling 16% to Rs 74.80 crore. Revenue also fell 5.5% year-on-year to Rs 902.20 crore from Rs 954.70 crore. Weak economic conditions and market uncertainty have led to a series of stock sell-offs.
The broader railway sector is struggling due to several factors, including weak earnings, budget reactions and overall market sentiment.
