Financial and operational challenges: The midweek earnings update highlighted severe headwinds, including deteriorating operating profit and weak debt servicing capacity, which weighed on investor sentiment.
Technical weakness confirmed: The stock’s fall to a 52-week low and trading below all key moving averages signal sustained downward momentum and caution for shareholders.
Volume fluctuations: Elevated volume on the day of the earnings report contrasted with thin trading on the day of the 52-week low, indicating episodic investor reactions rather than steady selling pressure.

Conclusion
Daikaffil Chemicals India Ltd’s share price performance over the week ending 13 February 2026 was marked by a clear downward trajectory, driven by company-specific financial challenges and confirmed by technical indicators such as the 52-week low. While the broader market experienced only mild declines, the stock’s relative weakness underscores the difficulties faced by this micro-cap specialty chemical maker. Investors should note the mixed signals from recent profit growth against the backdrop of deteriorating operating metrics and weak debt coverage. The stock’s Mojo Grade of Strong Sell reflects these concerns, emphasising the need for caution in the near term.
