11 February 2026: Profit-Taking Leads to Minor Correction
Following the strong rally, Balrampur Chini experienced a slight pullback on 11 February, closing at Rs.460.35, down 1.48%. This dip occurred despite the Sensex advancing 0.13% to 37,256.72, suggesting some profit-taking by investors after the previous day’s gains. Volume moderated to 23,347 shares, reflecting a more cautious trading session.
12 February 2026: Valuation Upgrade Highlights Renewed Price Appeal
On 12 February, the stock edged up marginally by 0.01% to Rs.460.40, while the Sensex declined 0.56%. Market focus shifted to Balrampur Chini’s improved valuation metrics, with the price-to-earnings ratio falling to 20.75 and price-to-book value at 2.37. These ratios compare favourably within the sugar sector, where peers trade at significantly higher multiples.
The company’s enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 12.24 and return on capital employed of 12.15% further supported the valuation upgrade from fair to attractive. Despite a modest dividend yield of 0.76%, these fundamentals suggest a more compelling risk-reward profile amid ongoing sector challenges.
13 February 2026: Week Closes Strong Despite Broader Market Weakness
Balrampur Chini closed the week at Rs.465.30, gaining 1.06% on the final trading day, while the Sensex fell 1.40% to 36,532.48. The stock’s resilience amid broader market weakness highlights investor confidence in the company’s recent turnaround and valuation appeal. Volume was steady at 14,173 shares, rounding off a week of notable outperformance.

Key Takeaways
Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd’s 4.60% weekly gain notably outpaced the Sensex’s 0.54% decline, reflecting strong company-specific catalysts. The key drivers included a robust Q3 FY26 financial performance with nearly 22% revenue growth and a 61% rise in net profit, signalling operational improvements and margin expansion.
The valuation upgrade from fair to attractive, supported by moderate P/E and P/BV ratios relative to sector peers, further enhanced the stock’s appeal despite ongoing industry headwinds. The company’s strong operating profit to interest coverage ratio of 53.68 times underscores financial stability, reducing leverage concerns.
However, the Mojo Grade remains at Sell with a score of 48.0, indicating that while the turnaround is promising, investors should remain cautious given the cyclical nature of the sugar sector and external risks such as regulatory changes and commodity price volatility.
Conclusion
Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd’s week was characterised by a significant financial turnaround and valuation recalibration, which together drove a solid outperformance against the broader market. The company’s improved profitability metrics and relative valuation discount position it favourably within the sugar sector, despite persistent challenges.
Investors should monitor upcoming quarterly results and sector developments closely to assess the sustainability of this positive momentum. The stock’s resilience amid a weakening Sensex suggests selective investor confidence, but the current Sell grade advises a measured approach.
