19 January 2026: Valuation Concerns Emerge Amid Weak Returns
Goldstar Power Ltd began the week at ₹6.00, unchanged from the previous close, while the Sensex declined 0.49% to 36,650.97. The company’s valuation came under scrutiny as it shifted from a “very expensive” to an “expensive” rating, reflecting a recalibration of price attractiveness amid weak profitability. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio stood at a lofty 75.32, far exceeding sector averages, while return on capital employed (ROCE) and return on equity (ROE) were subdued at 3.22% and 2.81%, respectively.
Despite a strong market cap grade, these metrics raised concerns about the sustainability of the stock’s elevated price levels. The week’s opening session set the tone for the subsequent decline, as investors reacted to the disconnect between valuation and operational performance.

20 January 2026: Early Signs of Weakness as Stock Declines 2.50%
The stock slipped to ₹5.85, down 2.50%, on increased volume of 56,250 shares, while the Sensex fell 1.82% to 35,984.65. This decline reflected growing investor unease amid the valuation concerns raised the previous day. Delivery volumes dropped by 25% compared to the five-day average, signalling waning conviction among holders. The stock’s underperformance contrasted with the broader market’s modest retreat, highlighting company-specific pressures.
21 January 2026: Lower Circuit Hit Amid Heavy Selling Pressure
Goldstar Power plunged to its lower circuit limit at ₹5.60, marking a maximum daily loss of 4.27%. The stock remained locked at this level throughout the session, reflecting an overwhelming imbalance between supply and demand. Trading volumes were subdued at 11,250 shares, but delivery volumes indicated a 25% decline, underscoring investor reluctance to hold the stock amid deteriorating fundamentals.
While the FMCG sector gained 0.68%, Goldstar Power’s sharp fall highlighted its vulnerability. Technical indicators showed the stock trading below all key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish outlook. The company’s Mojo Score of 17.0 and a Strong Sell grade further emphasised the negative sentiment.
22 January 2026: Another Lower Circuit Plunge to ₹5.35
The downward momentum continued as the stock hit a fresh 52-week low of ₹5.35, again triggering the lower circuit breaker with a 4.46% loss. Trading volume surged to 78,750 shares, with delivery volumes rising 150% over the five-day average, signalling panic selling. This spike in delivery volume suggested increased exit activity by long-term holders.
Despite the FMCG sector’s 1.91% gain and the Sensex’s 0.76% rise, Goldstar Power’s underperformance was stark. The stock’s micro-cap status and limited liquidity exacerbated its vulnerability. Technical weakness persisted, with the share price below all major moving averages and no clear support levels in sight.

23 January 2026: Week Closes at Fresh 52-Week Low and Lower Circuit
The stock closed the week at ₹5.10, down 4.67% on the day and hitting the lower circuit limit once more. Trading volume was moderate at 22,500 shares, but delivery volume surged to 78,750 shares, a 150% increase over the five-day average, indicating sustained selling pressure. The stock’s decline contrasted with the FMCG sector’s modest 0.09% gain and a flat Sensex, underscoring company-specific challenges.
Technical indicators remained bearish, with the stock trading below all key moving averages. The persistent downtrend and strong sell Mojo Grade reflect a lack of investor confidence and limited near-term support. The micro-cap status and deteriorating fundamentals continue to weigh heavily on the stock’s outlook.

| 2026-01-23 | Rs.5.10 | -4.67% | 35,609.90 | -1.33% |
Key Takeaways
Valuation Disconnect: The stock’s elevated P/E ratio of 75.32 and premium price-to-book value contrast sharply with weak profitability metrics, signalling heightened price risk.
Persistent Downtrend: Consecutive lower circuit hits and trading below all major moving averages indicate strong bearish momentum and lack of technical support.
Investor Sentiment: Declining delivery volumes initially, followed by surges in delivery on heavy sell days, reflect waning conviction and panic selling among investors.
Sector Divergence: While the FMCG sector showed resilience with modest gains, Goldstar Power’s micro-cap status and fundamental weaknesses led to significant underperformance.
Conclusion
Goldstar Power Ltd’s week was marked by a sharp 15.00% decline, driven by valuation concerns, technical weakness, and intense selling pressure. The stock’s repeated lower circuit hits and deteriorating fundamentals underscore the challenges facing this micro-cap FMCG player. Despite the broader sector’s relative stability, Goldstar Power’s share price action signals caution for investors. The strong sell Mojo Grade and persistent downtrend suggest limited near-term upside, warranting close monitoring of any fundamental or market developments before considering exposure.
