The stock’s resilience against a broad market decline set the tone for the week’s momentum.

The stock extended its gains to Rs.1,967.25, up 2.24%, on significantly higher volume of 582 lakh shares. The Sensex rebounded strongly, climbing 2.63% to 36,755.96, yet Automotive Axles Ltd’s advance was slightly below the market’s pace. The stock’s steady rise reflected sustained investor confidence ahead of key events later in the week.
4 February: New 52-Week High and Intraday Surge
4 February marked the pinnacle of the week’s activity as Automotive Axles Ltd surged 7.68% to close at Rs.2,118.25, hitting a new 52-week high intraday at Rs.2,110. This represented a 7.26% intraday gain and a cumulative 13.41% return over the preceding three days. The stock outperformed the Auto Components & Equipments sector by 6.17% and the Sensex by 7.31%, which itself rose 0.37% to 36,890.21.
The rally was underpinned by the stock trading above all key moving averages (5, 20, 50, 100, and 200-day), signalling robust technical strength. The company’s strong fundamentals, including a 17.00% return on equity and zero debt-to-equity ratio, supported the price momentum.

5 February: Sharp Intraday Decline Amid Profit-Taking
Following the strong rally, Automotive Axles Ltd faced significant selling pressure on 5 February, closing at Rs.1,968.95, down 7.05%. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.1,953.50, a 7.78% drop from the previous close, with volatility reaching 5.17%. This marked a reversal after three consecutive days of gains, reflecting profit-taking and a cautious market mood.
The stock underperformed its sector peers by 6.41% and the Sensex by 7.18%, as the broader index declined 0.53% to 36,695.11. Despite the setback, Automotive Axles Ltd remained above all key moving averages, suggesting the correction was a short-term pullback within a longer-term uptrend.
On the same day, the company reported strong Q3 FY26 results, highlighting robust festive demand that drove margin expansion. This operational strength contrasted with the price pressure, indicating that the decline was more sentiment-driven than fundamental.
6 February: Week Closes Steady Amid Mixed Market Signals
The stock closed the week at Rs.1,924.40, marginally up 0.01% from the open on 2 February, while the Sensex gained 1.51% over the same period. Volume increased to 1,924 lakh shares, reflecting active trading interest. The slight decline from midweek highs suggests consolidation after a volatile session, with investors digesting recent gains and results.
