16 February: Strong Opening with 5.97% Gain
Gokul Refoils began the week on a positive note, closing at Rs.33.70, up 5.97% from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.31.80. This outpaced the Sensex’s 0.70% gain to 36,787.89, signalling early renewed interest in the stock. The volume was modest at 2,883 shares, indicating cautious accumulation. The broader market’s positive momentum provided a supportive backdrop for the stock’s initial rally.
17 February: Stock Hits 52-Week Low Amid Sector Pressures
Despite the previous day’s gains, Gokul Refoils’ shares fell sharply to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.31.07 during intraday trading on 17 February, reflecting ongoing challenges in the edible oil sector. The stock closed flat at Rs.33.99 (+0.86% on close), but the low intraday price underscored volatility and investor caution. The Sensex advanced 0.32% to 36,904.38, highlighting the stock’s relative weakness.
Fundamental headwinds include a five-year operating profit CAGR contraction of -3.11%, a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.09 times, and modest profitability with an average ROE of 6.54%. Despite these concerns, the company reported a 43.8% increase in quarterly PAT to Rs.5.25 crores and improved liquidity with Rs.119.61 crores in cash and cash equivalents, suggesting some operational resilience.

18 February: Upper Circuit Surge on Robust Buying Pressure
The stock witnessed a dramatic turnaround on 18 February, surging 19.86% to close at Rs.40.74, hitting the upper circuit limit. Intraday, it reached a high of Rs.40.28, with a wide trading range of Rs.6.55, reflecting heightened volatility and strong demand. The total traded volume was 1,73,774 shares, generating a turnover of approximately Rs.1.72 crore.
This rally significantly outperformed the edible oil sector’s 0.40% gain and the Sensex’s 0.43% rise to 37,062.35. The surge triggered a regulatory freeze on further trades, a mechanism to curb excessive volatility. Technical indicators showed the stock closing above its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, signalling short- to medium-term bullish momentum, though it remained below longer-term averages.
Despite the strong price action, delivery volumes declined by 7.02% compared to the five-day average, suggesting some speculative or intraday buying rather than sustained accumulation. The company’s Mojo Score improved to 32.0 with a Mojo Grade of Sell, upgraded from Strong Sell in December 2025, indicating a cautious but slightly more positive market reassessment.
19-20 February: Profit Booking and Minor Pullback
Following the sharp rally, the stock experienced minor profit booking on 19 and 20 February. On 19 February, it closed at Rs.40.40, down 0.83%, while the Sensex declined 1.45%, reflecting broader market weakness. On 20 February, the stock fell further by 2.03% to Rs.39.58, with the Sensex recovering 0.41% to 36,674.32. The volume on 20 February was 30,835 shares, indicating moderate trading activity amid the pullback.
This consolidation phase after a steep rise is typical in micro-cap stocks, especially those with liquidity constraints and sector volatility. The stock’s market capitalisation remains modest at around Rs.350 crore, which can amplify price swings on relatively low volumes.

Key Takeaways
Strong Weekly Outperformance: Gokul Refoils’ 24.47% weekly gain dwarfed the Sensex’s 0.39% rise, driven by a sharp rebound from a 52-week low to an upper circuit surge.
Volatility and Liquidity Constraints: The stock’s micro-cap status and limited liquidity contributed to wide intraday swings and regulatory trading halts, highlighting risks of sharp price movements.
Mixed Fundamental Signals: While the company faces long-term profitability and leverage challenges, recent quarterly earnings growth and improved liquidity provide some operational support.
Technical Momentum: The stock’s break above short- and medium-term moving averages on 18 February signals positive momentum, though longer-term trends remain unconfirmed.
Cautious Market Sentiment: Despite the rally, the Mojo Grade remains a Sell, reflecting ongoing caution among investors and the need for further confirmation of a sustained uptrend.
Conclusion
The week for Gokul Refoils and Solvent Ltd was characterised by extreme volatility and a dramatic price recovery. The stock’s surge from a 52-week low to an upper circuit close within two days underscores the micro-cap nature of the company, where limited liquidity can amplify price moves. While recent earnings growth and improved cash position offer some fundamental encouragement, the company’s elevated leverage and modest profitability remain concerns.
Investors should note the cautious market sentiment reflected in the Mojo Grade and the mixed technical signals. The stock’s outperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers this week is notable, but the underlying fundamentals and liquidity profile suggest that volatility may persist. Monitoring subsequent price action and sector developments will be essential to assess the sustainability of this rally.
