Wednesday, 21 January 2026: Stellar Q3 Results Spark Optimism
Bajaj Consumer Care reported an impressive 83% surge in quarterly profits for Q3 FY26, defying sector-wide slowdowns.

Thursday, 22 January 2026: Breakout Rally on Mojo Upgrade and Heavy Trading
Following the Mojo Grade upgrade from Hold to Buy on 21 January, Bajaj Consumer Care staged a dramatic turnaround, surging 20.00% intraday to close at Rs.297.05. The stock opened with a 9.13% gap up and hit an intraday high of Rs.296.90, triggering the upper circuit limit and a regulatory freeze on further trades. Trading volume exploded to over 1.6 million shares, with a traded value exceeding ₹500 crores, marking it as one of the most actively traded stocks by value on the day.
This rally was driven by strong institutional interest and a technical breakout above all key moving averages, signalling a robust medium- to long-term uptrend. The stock outperformed the FMCG sector by nearly 19% and the Sensex by almost 20 percentage points, underscoring its standout performance amid a broadly stable market. Despite the surge, delivery volumes declined by 30%, suggesting some speculative trading alongside genuine accumulation.
