Tuesday, 28 January 2026: Strong Rebound Amid Market Rally
The stock rebounded sharply on 28 January, surging 4.38% to close at ₹767.00, outpacing the Sensex’s 1.12% advance to 36,188.16. This gain reflected renewed buying interest, supported by positive technical signals emerging in the market. The trading volume decreased to 1,549 shares, indicating selective accumulation by investors. The stock’s intraday range between ₹739.60 and ₹769.60 showed resilience near key support levels.
Wednesday, 29 January 2026: Technical Momentum Shift and Valuation Reassessment
On 29 January, Century Plyboards closed at ₹778.95, up 1.56%, continuing its upward trajectory. This day marked a significant technical momentum shift from a mildly bearish stance to a sideways trend, signalling cautious optimism among traders. Despite the 4.25% intraday gain reported in technical analyses, the stock’s indicators remained mixed, with the MACD and KST oscillators still mildly bearish on weekly and monthly charts.
The stock’s valuation also came under scrutiny this day, with a shift from an attractive to a fair rating due to elevated multiples. The price-to-earnings ratio stood at 73.46, and the price-to-book value ratio at 6.90, both considerably higher than peer averages. This premium valuation reflects high growth expectations but also suggests limited margin for error.
Comparatively, peers such as Greenply Industries and Greenpanel Industries trade at significantly lower multiples, highlighting Century Plyboards’ stretched valuation despite its respectable returns on capital employed (10.20%) and equity (9.39%).

Key Takeaways from the Week
Positive Signals: Century Plyboards demonstrated robust weekly gains of 7.79%, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 1.62% rise. The stock’s technical momentum shifted from mildly bearish to a sideways trend, supported by daily moving averages turning mildly bullish. This suggests short-term strength and renewed investor interest. The stock’s long-term performance remains impressive, with a 10-year return of 403.45%, well above the Sensex’s 236.52%.
Cautionary Signals: Despite recent gains, key technical indicators such as MACD and KST oscillators remain mildly bearish on weekly and monthly charts, indicating that the broader trend has not fully reversed. Valuation metrics are elevated, with a P/E ratio of 73.46 and P/BV of 6.90, considerably higher than peers. The downgrade in Mojo Grade from Buy to Hold reflects these valuation concerns and the mixed technical outlook. Investors should monitor key support near ₹730 and resistance around ₹770-₹780 for clearer directional cues.
Conclusion: A Week of Strong Gains Amid Mixed Signals
Century Plyboards (India) Ltd’s week was marked by a strong price rally of 7.79%, driven by a technical momentum shift and a reassessment of valuation parameters. While the stock outperformed the Sensex and showed short-term bullish signs, the mixed technical indicators and stretched valuation multiples counsel caution. The downgrade to a Hold rating by MarketsMOJO encapsulates this balanced view, suggesting that the stock is currently in a consolidation phase within a broader long-term uptrend. Investors should continue to watch for confirmation of sustained momentum or signs of valuation correction in the coming weeks.
