Technical Trends Shift to Neutral Territory
The primary catalyst for the upgrade lies in the company’s technical grade, which has transitioned from mildly bearish to a sideways trend. This shift is underpinned by mixed but generally improving technical signals across multiple timeframes. On a weekly basis, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned bullish, suggesting growing momentum. Meanwhile, monthly MACD remains mildly bearish, indicating some lingering caution among longer-term investors.
Further technical confirmation comes from Bollinger Bands, which are bullish on both weekly and monthly charts, signalling potential for price expansion and reduced volatility risk. The weekly Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator is mildly bullish, although the monthly KST remains mildly bearish, reflecting a nuanced technical picture. Daily moving averages still show mild bearishness, but this is offset by the overall sideways trend, which suggests consolidation rather than decline.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings on weekly and monthly charts show no clear signals, indicating the stock is neither overbought nor oversold. Dow Theory assessments are mildly bearish weekly but show no definitive trend monthly, reinforcing the sideways technical stance. This blend of indicators supports a more neutral outlook, justifying the upgrade to Hold from Sell.
Strong Financial Performance Bolsters Confidence
Sunrakshakk Industries’ financial results for Q2 FY25-26 have been notably positive, reinforcing the technical improvements. The company reported net sales of ₹120.97 crores, representing a robust 72.1% growth compared to the previous four-quarter average. Profitability metrics also surged, with Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes (PBDIT) reaching a quarterly high of ₹11.67 crores and Profit Before Tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) at ₹7.87 crores, the highest recorded in recent quarters.
Net profit growth has been particularly impressive, soaring by 212.16% year-on-year. This strong earnings momentum has translated into consistent returns for shareholders, with the stock delivering a 75.09% return over the past year and outperforming the BSE500 index in each of the last three annual periods. Over longer horizons, the stock’s returns have been extraordinary, with a 3-year return of 1305.58% and a 5-year return exceeding 4,300%, dwarfing the Sensex’s respective 35.67% and 74.40% gains.
Financial health remains solid, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.91 times, indicating the company’s strong ability to service its debt obligations. This prudent leverage profile reduces financial risk and supports sustainable growth prospects.

Valuation Remains Expensive but Discounted Relative to Peers
Despite the strong financial performance, Sunrakshakk Industries carries a valuation that can be characterised as very expensive on absolute terms. The company’s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) stands at 7.3%, while the Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio is 3.9 times, signalling a premium valuation. However, when compared to its peers in the garments and apparel sector, the stock is trading at a discount relative to their historical averages, suggesting some value remains for investors willing to look beyond headline multiples.
Over the past year, the stock’s price appreciation of 75.09% has outpaced profit growth of approximately 30%, resulting in a high Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio of 12. This elevated PEG ratio indicates that the market is pricing in significant future growth expectations, which may warrant caution for valuation-sensitive investors.
Interestingly, domestic mutual funds hold no stake in the company, which is unusual given their capacity for detailed fundamental research. This absence may reflect reservations about the current price level or concerns about the company’s business model or scale. Such a scenario underscores the importance of monitoring institutional interest as a barometer of confidence.
Long-Term Growth and Market Outperformance
Sunrakshakk Industries has demonstrated exceptional long-term growth, with net sales expanding at an annualised rate of 53.70%. The company’s ability to generate consistent returns over extended periods is evident in its staggering 10-year return of 2,264.61%, comfortably outperforming the Sensex’s 224.57% gain over the same timeframe.
This sustained outperformance highlights the company’s competitive positioning within the textile industry and its capacity to capitalise on favourable market dynamics. However, investors should weigh this against the current valuation and technical signals to determine appropriate entry points.

Technical and Market Price Movements
On the price front, Sunrakshakk Industries closed at ₹241.90, up 4.02% from the previous close of ₹232.55. The stock traded within a range of ₹221.00 to ₹243.50 during the day, remaining comfortably above its 52-week low of ₹134.45 but still below its 52-week high of ₹288.75. This price action aligns with the sideways technical trend, indicating consolidation after a strong rally.
Comparing returns with the Sensex reveals the stock’s superior performance across multiple timeframes. Over the past week, the stock gained 6.78% while the Sensex declined 1.00%. Over one month, the stock surged 19.16% against a 4.67% Sensex decline. Year-to-date returns stand at 19.07% for the stock versus a 5.28% fall in the Sensex. Even over the last year, the stock’s 75.09% return dwarfs the Sensex’s modest 5.16% gain.
These figures underscore the company’s ability to generate alpha relative to the broader market, although investors should remain mindful of the elevated valuation and mixed technical signals.
Summary of Ratings and Outlook
MarketsMOJO’s current Mojo Score for Sunrakshakk Industries is 52.0, reflecting a Hold rating, upgraded from a previous Sell grade as of 1 February 2026. The Market Cap Grade stands at 4, indicating a mid-sized company with moderate liquidity and market presence. The upgrade is primarily driven by improved technical indicators and strong quarterly financial results, balanced against a high valuation and cautious institutional interest.
Investors are advised to monitor the company’s ability to sustain profit growth and watch for further technical confirmation before increasing exposure. The sideways technical trend suggests a period of consolidation, which could provide better entry points if the stock corrects or breaks out decisively.
Conclusion
Sunrakshakk Industries India Ltd’s upgrade to Hold reflects a nuanced investment case. The company’s impressive financial performance and improved technical outlook have alleviated some concerns that previously warranted a Sell rating. However, the expensive valuation and absence of domestic mutual fund participation temper enthusiasm, suggesting that investors should adopt a measured approach.
With strong long-term growth and consistent market outperformance, the stock remains an attractive proposition for investors with a higher risk tolerance and a long-term horizon. The current Hold rating recognises the company’s strengths while signalling the need for caution amid valuation and technical uncertainties.
