  • Brand Concepts Limited Shows Low ROE and High Debt, Raising Quality Concerns
    January 21, 2026, 11:06 PM EST. Brand Concepts Limited (NSE:BCONCEPTS) reported a Return on Equity (ROE) of just 0.7% for the trailing twelve months to September 2025, significantly below the 12% average in the Specialty Retail sector.
