Mojo Score and Rating Update
Dilip Buildcon’s Mojo Score currently stands at 17.0, reflecting a strong sell recommendation. This is a downgrade from the previous sell rating, effective from 03 Dec 2025. The Market Capitalisation Grade is 3, indicating a mid-tier market cap relative to peers. The downgrade reflects the deteriorating technical indicators and the stock’s underperformance relative to broader market benchmarks.
Moving Averages and Daily Price Action
The daily moving averages have turned bearish, with the stock trading below its short-term and medium-term averages. Today’s trading range was between ₹448.95 and ₹461.55, with the closing price at ₹452.50, indicating a lack of buying interest at higher levels. This price action suggests that resistance remains strong near the previous close and intraday highs.
Long-Term Perspective and Sector Context
Over five years, Dilip Buildcon has underperformed the Sensex, with a negative return of 7.43% compared to the Sensex’s 64.75%. This underperformance highlights challenges faced by the company and the construction sector amid fluctuating economic conditions and infrastructure spending cycles. However, the three-year outperformance suggests that the company had a period of strong growth before recent setbacks.
Investor Implications and Outlook
From a technical standpoint, the shift to a bearish trend and the downgrade to a strong sell rating suggest caution for investors. The mixed signals from volume and Dow Theory indicators imply that while some accumulation may be occurring, the overall momentum remains weak. Investors should closely monitor the stock’s ability to hold key support levels near ₹450 and watch for any reversal signals in MACD or RSI that could indicate a change in trend.
