29 December: Upper Circuit Hit Signals Strong Rebound
After two days of decline, Century Extrusions Ltd surged sharply on 29 Dec 2025, hitting its upper circuit limit with a 4.99% gain to close at ₹22.29. This rally was driven by intense buying interest, with the stock outperforming the broader Sensex, which declined 0.41% that day. The surge was supported by a significant increase in delivery volumes, rising 118.04% over the five-day average, indicating genuine investor accumulation rather than speculative trading. Technically, the stock’s price moved above its 5-day and 20-day moving averages, signalling short-term bullish momentum, although it remained below longer-term averages.
30 December: Mojo Grade Upgrade Spurs Another Upper Circuit
The momentum continued on 30 Dec as Century Extrusions again hit the upper circuit, closing at ₹23.40, a 4.98% gain on the day. This followed the MarketsMOJO upgrade of the stock’s mojo grade from Sell to Hold on 29 Dec, reflecting improved technical indicators despite flat recent financials. The stock outperformed both the Industrial Products sector (+0.80%) and the Sensex (-0.02%) on the day. Delivery volumes surged by 153.5% compared to the five-day average, reinforcing the view of sustained investor interest. The stock’s price rose above its 5-day, 20-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating strengthening short- and long-term technical positioning, though resistance remained at the 50-day and 100-day averages.

31 December - 1 January: Profit-Taking and Price Correction
Following two days of strong gains, the stock experienced profit-taking on 31 Dec and 1 Jan, with prices retreating 2.53% and 2.98% respectively to close at ₹23.13 and ₹22.44. These declines occurred despite the Sensex advancing 0.83% and 0.14% on the respective days, indicating some short-term consolidation in Century Extrusions. Trading volumes were lower during this period, reflecting reduced market participation. The price pullback brought the stock closer to its 20-day moving average, suggesting a healthy correction after the sharp rally. Investors appeared to be digesting the recent gains while awaiting further fundamental developments.
2 January: Recovery and Weekly Close Above Opening Levels
On the final trading day of the week, Century Extrusions rebounded 1.47% to close at ₹22.77, recovering some of the prior session’s losses. The Sensex also gained 0.81% that day, closing at 37,799.57. The stock’s weekly close represented a 5.76% gain from the previous Friday’s close of ₹21.53, outperforming the Sensex’s 1.35% rise. Volume remained moderate, with 6,616 shares traded, indicating steady investor interest. The stock’s position above its 5-day and 20-day moving averages supports a cautiously optimistic technical outlook heading into the new year.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Century Extrusions demonstrated strong resilience and buying interest, with two consecutive upper circuit hits signalling robust demand. The mojo grade upgrade to Hold reflects stabilising technicals and improved medium-term momentum. Delivery volumes surged significantly, indicating genuine investor accumulation rather than speculative trading. The stock outperformed the Sensex by over four percentage points for the week, underscoring its relative strength.
Cautionary Notes: Despite the rally, the stock experienced profit-taking and price corrections in the middle of the week, reflecting short-term volatility. The stock remains a micro-cap with relatively modest liquidity, which can amplify price swings. Technical resistance at the 50-day and 100-day moving averages may pose challenges for sustained upward momentum. Additionally, the company’s recent financials were flat, and rising debt levels warrant monitoring.
Conclusion
Century Extrusions Ltd’s performance over the week ending 2 January 2026 was marked by a strong technical rebound and improved market sentiment, as evidenced by two upper circuit hits and a mojo grade upgrade. The stock’s 5.76% weekly gain significantly outpaced the Sensex’s 1.35% rise, driven by rising delivery volumes and positive technical indicators. However, intermittent profit-taking and the company’s micro-cap status suggest that investors should approach with measured optimism. The upgrade to Hold reflects a balanced view of stabilising technicals amid mixed fundamentals. Going forward, monitoring leverage metrics and sector developments will be key to assessing the sustainability of this momentum.
