Friday, 27 February: Mojo Grade Upgrade and Bullish Technical Momentum
Biocon closed the week at Rs.389.75, down 1.09% on the day, amid broader market weakness as the Sensex fell 1.16%. Despite the decline, the company received a significant upgrade from MarketsMOJO, moving from a Hold to a Buy rating on 26 February 2026. This upgrade was driven by improvements across financial quality, valuation, and technical indicators.
Key fundamentals include a strong cash position of ₹4,601.10 crores, a reduced debt-equity ratio of 0.62, and a return to profitability with a quarterly PAT of ₹437.20 crores. Valuation metrics remain attractive, with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2, signalling undervaluation relative to peers.
Technically, the stock’s momentum shifted from mildly bullish to bullish, supported by bullish Bollinger Bands on weekly and monthly charts, positive On-Balance Volume trends, and upward moving averages. While some indicators such as weekly MACD and KST remain mildly bearish, the overall outlook is constructive, reflecting growing investor confidence despite short-term volatility.
