Monday, 19 January 2026: Stock Hits 52-Week Low Amid Weak Financials
Elcid Investments Ltd’s share price fell to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.121,000 on 19 January, continuing a downward trajectory amid disappointing financial results. The stock declined by 0.59% to close at Rs.121,130.15, underperforming the Sensex which fell 0.49% that day. This marked the start of a five-day losing streak, with the stock trading below all major moving averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum.
The company’s financial performance remains subdued, with net sales declining 41.87% over the latest six-month period and profit after tax falling 42.95%. Return on equity is low at 0.8%, and the price-to-book value ratio stands at 0.3, indicating a valuation premium despite weak profitability.

Tuesday, 20 January 2026: Further Decline to New 52-Week Low
The downtrend continued on 20 January as the stock touched a new 52-week low of Rs.120,584.75, closing at Rs.120,246.75, down 0.73% on the day. Despite outperforming its sector by 0.82%, the stock lagged the Sensex which declined 1.82%. The persistent weakness reflects ongoing concerns about the company’s deteriorating fundamentals and valuation disconnect.
Financial metrics remain challenging, with annualised net sales and operating profit declining by 8.80% and 9.59% respectively. The stock’s one-year return is negative 16.49%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex’s positive 7.62% return. The Mojo Score remains at 17.0 with a Strong Sell rating, underscoring the negative outlook.

Wednesday, 21 January 2026: Continued Downtrend and New Low
On 21 January, Elcid Investments Ltd’s stock price reached Rs.119,000, marking yet another 52-week low and a 1.20% decline on the day. This extended the losing streak to six consecutive days, with the stock falling 5.1% over this period. The Sensex also declined 0.47%, closing at 35,815.26, but the stock’s underperformance persisted.
Technical indicators remain bearish, with the stock trading below all key moving averages and the MACD signalling negative momentum. The company’s financials continue to weigh on sentiment, with profits down 68.6% over the past year and no institutional ownership to provide support. The Mojo Grade of Strong Sell remains firmly in place.
Friday, 23 January 2026: Modest Recovery Amid Market Weakness
The week closed on a slightly positive note for Elcid Investments Ltd, with the stock gaining 0.60% to Rs.119,266.65 on 23 January. This modest rebound came despite the Sensex falling 1.33% to 35,609.90. The recovery was insufficient to offset the week’s losses, but it did signal some short-term buying interest after several days of declines.
Technical analysis continues to reflect a consolidation phase with a bearish bias. While the monthly RSI and Bollinger Bands suggest some longer-term support, the daily moving averages remain bearish. The stock’s relative outperformance versus the Sensex this week (+1.19%) is notable but does not alter the overall negative trend.

Key Takeaways
Persistent Downtrend: The stock recorded fresh 52-week lows on three separate days, reflecting sustained selling pressure and weak investor confidence.
Financial Weakness: Declining net sales and profits, coupled with low return on equity and a high price-to-book ratio, highlight fundamental challenges.
Technical Bearishness: Multiple technical indicators including MACD, moving averages, and Bollinger Bands signal a bearish momentum with limited short-term support.
Relative Outperformance: Despite the negative trend, Elcid Investments Ltd outperformed the Sensex by 1.19% over the week, suggesting some resilience amid broader market weakness.
Institutional Absence: Lack of domestic mutual fund holdings points to limited institutional support, which may constrain recovery prospects.
Conclusion
Elcid Investments Ltd’s performance over the week ending 23 January 2026 was characterised by continued weakness in both price and fundamentals. The stock’s decline of 2.12% contrasts with a sharper 3.31% fall in the Sensex, indicating a modest relative strength. However, the persistent 52-week lows, deteriorating financial metrics, and bearish technical signals underscore the challenges facing the company. The absence of institutional ownership and a Strong Sell rating from MarketsMOJO further highlight the cautious market stance. While a slight recovery on the final trading day offered some respite, the overall outlook remains subdued as the stock navigates a difficult environment marked by declining profitability and investor scepticism.
