Market Environment and Sector Dynamics
The broader market environment on 28 Jan 2026 was positive, with the Sensex opening flat but gaining momentum to close 464.16 points higher at 82,356.52, a 0.61% increase. The index remains 4.62% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02. Notably, the Sensex is trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50-day moving average itself is positioned above the 200-day moving average, signalling a mixed technical backdrop.
Within this context, mega-cap stocks led the market rally, contributing to the Sensex’s gains. The Electric Equipment sector, to which ABB India Ltd belongs, also advanced by 2.12%, supported by sector-specific factors that bolstered investor sentiment and trading volumes.
Technical Positioning and Volatility
ABB India Ltd’s current price action reflects a complex technical picture. While the stock has moved above its short-term 5-day moving average, it remains below its longer-term moving averages, suggesting that the recent gains have yet to translate into a sustained upward trend. The high intraday volatility of 39.19% indicates active trading and price swings, which may be driven by market participants reacting to sector movements and broader market cues.
The stock’s day high of Rs 4,851.95 represents a 3.07% increase from its previous close, highlighting the strength of buying interest during the session. This performance is particularly notable given the stock’s recent downward trend over the past month and year-to-date periods.

Mojo Score and Rating Update
ABB India Ltd currently holds a Mojo Score of 44.0, categorised under a Sell grade. This represents a downgrade from its previous Hold rating, effective from 16 Jan 2026. The stock’s Market Cap Grade is 1, indicating a relatively modest market capitalisation within its sector. These metrics provide a quantitative assessment of the stock’s current standing based on multiple parameters including fundamentals and price momentum.
The downgrade to a Sell grade reflects a reassessment of the stock’s outlook relative to its peers and market conditions, despite the strong intraday performance observed today.
Comparative Performance Summary
When compared to the Sensex, ABB India Ltd’s one-day gain of 3.44% significantly outperformed the benchmark’s 0.70% rise. Over the past week, the stock has also outpaced the Sensex, delivering a 3.47% return versus the index’s 0.63%. However, over longer time frames such as one month, three months, and year-to-date, ABB India Ltd has lagged behind the Sensex, reflecting a period of relative underperformance.
This divergence between short-term strength and longer-term weakness highlights the stock’s current phase of volatility and market revaluation.
Summary of Trading Action
In summary, ABB India Ltd’s trading session on 28 Jan 2026 was marked by a strong intraday surge to Rs 4,851.95, a 3.07% increase, supported by elevated volatility and active market participation. The stock outperformed both its sector and the broader market indices, continuing a two-day streak of gains. Despite this, the stock remains below key longer-term moving averages and carries a Sell rating based on its Mojo Score, reflecting a cautious stance in the broader evaluation.
Market participants will note the stock’s ability to outperform in a rising market environment led by mega-cap stocks and a recovering Sensex, while also recognising the technical and rating factors that temper the outlook.
