Wednesday, 30 September 2026: Valuation Attractiveness Improves Despite Technical Uncertainty
On 30 September, Deepak Fertilisers closed at Rs.1,352.00, rebounding 3.46% from the previous day’s low. However, the Sensex declined 0.17% to 34,564.37, indicating the stock outperformed the benchmark on this session. This price action coincided with a complex technical landscape: the stock’s momentum shifted to a sideways trend with mixed signals from MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was mildly bearish on weekly and monthly charts, while the RSI remained neutral. Meanwhile, the On-Balance Volume (OBV) suggested longer-term accumulation despite short-term indecision.
Importantly, the company’s valuation grade improved from fair to attractive, reflecting a more compelling price relative to earnings and book value. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stood at 16.71, with a price-to-book value (P/BV) of 2.40. Compared to peers such as Chambal Fertilisers (P/E ~8.6) and Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilisers (P/E ~14.37), Deepak Fertilisers remains moderately valued but offers superior long-term returns. The Mojo Score was downgraded to 61.0, categorised as a ‘Hold’, signalling caution despite improved valuation metrics.

Technical indicators suggested a move from sideways to mildly bullish momentum, supported by daily moving averages turning positive. The monthly MACD also turned bullish, although weekly MACD and Bollinger Bands remained bearish, indicating mixed signals.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stayed neutral, while the Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator remained mildly bearish on weekly and monthly charts. Dow Theory readings showed a mildly bullish weekly trend but a mildly bearish monthly trend, underscoring the transitional nature of the stock’s momentum.
