2 January 2026: New 52-Week High and Upgrade to Buy
3M India Ltd. reached a new 52-week high of Rs.37,384.85 intraday, closing at Rs.36,136.30, up 0.54% on the day. This marked the culmination of a four-day rally delivering a cumulative 7.14% gain. The stock outperformed the Sensex, which rose 0.81% to 37,799.57. The strong price momentum was supported by an upgrade from MarketsMOJO, which raised the mojo grade from Hold to Buy on 1 January 2026, citing improved technical indicators and robust financial performance.
The upgrade reflected bullish signals from MACD, Bollinger Bands, and moving averages, despite some mixed readings from RSI and Dow Theory. Financially, the company reported record quarterly net sales of Rs.1,266.49 crore and a PBDIT of Rs.255.84 crore, with a high ROCE of 49.19% and ROE of 19.22%. The stock trades at a premium price-to-book ratio of 18.8, justified by strong profitability but warranting cautious valuation consideration.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Positive Signals: The stock’s 4.48% weekly gain notably outpaced the Sensex’s 1.35%, driven by a new 52-week high and a mojo grade upgrade to Buy. Strong quarterly financials with record sales and PBDIT, alongside high ROCE and ROE, underpin the fundamental strength. Technical indicators such as MACD and Bollinger Bands support sustained momentum, while the stock’s debt-free status adds financial stability.
Cautionary Notes: Despite the strong price performance, valuation remains elevated with a price-to-book ratio of 18.8, suggesting limited margin for valuation expansion. The weekly RSI indicator shows bearishness, and volume trends have yet to decisively confirm the rally, indicating potential short-term volatility. Additionally, a 5.7% decline in profits over the past year signals some earnings pressure that warrants monitoring.
