27 January 2026: New 52-Week Low Amid Sectoral Pressures
On 27 January, Agarwal Industrial Corporation Ltd’s stock touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs.647.7, closing at Rs.671.55, down 0.41% from the previous close.

The Sensex, however, advanced 0.50% that day, highlighting the stock’s relative weakness.
The 52-week low reflected ongoing challenges, including a 7.98% decline in earnings per share and a 46.5% drop in quarterly profit after tax to Rs.11.99 crores.

28 January 2026: Sharp Rebound with 5.24% Gain
Following the prior day’s weakness, the stock rebounded strongly on 28 January, gaining 5.24% to close at Rs.706.75. This recovery outpaced the Sensex’s 1.12% gain and the petrochemicals sector’s moderate advance. The bounce back was supported by technical factors as the stock moved above its short-term moving averages, signalling renewed buying interest.
This day’s performance suggested a potential short-term reversal after the steep decline, although the stock remained below its longer-term moving averages, indicating that the broader downtrend was not yet fully reversed.
29 January 2026: Profit-Taking Triggers 4.22% Decline
On 29 January, profit-taking led to a 4.22% decline in the stock price, closing at Rs.676.95. This pullback occurred despite the Sensex advancing 0.22%, reflecting some caution among traders after the previous day’s sharp rally. Volume also declined, suggesting reduced enthusiasm. The stock’s volatility this week highlighted the ongoing uncertainty surrounding its near-term prospects.
30 January 2026: Intraday Surge of 7.1% Caps the Week
The week concluded on a strong note with Agarwal Industrial Corporation Ltd surging 7.88% to close at Rs.730.30 on 30 January. The stock reached an intraday high of Rs.725, outperforming the petrochemicals sector’s 2.18% gain and the Sensex’s 0.22% decline. This rally was notable given the broader market’s subdued tone and the Sensex’s intraday fall of 0.38%.
Technically, the stock’s price moved above its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, signalling short- to medium-term momentum. However, it remained below the 100-day and 200-day averages, indicating that longer-term trends remain mixed. The company’s Mojo Score remains at 29.0 with a Strong Sell grade, reflecting ongoing fundamental challenges despite the recent price strength.

The stock’s 8.30% weekly advance outpaced the broader market, signalling renewed buying interest amid a challenging fundamental backdrop. While short-term technical momentum has improved, the company’s financial metrics and cautious market sentiment suggest that the stock remains in a complex position. Investors should weigh the recent price strength against the underlying risks and mixed longer-term trends.
