21 September: Technical Momentum Shifts Amid Mixed Market Signals
Greaves Cotton began the week with a positive technical shift, closing at Rs.198.55, up 0.61% from the previous close. The stock demonstrated resilience within a trading range of Rs.192.20 to Rs.200.00, signalling a transition from a mildly bearish to a sideways trend. This was supported by mixed technical indicators: while the weekly MACD remained mildly bearish, the monthly MACD turned bullish, suggesting potential longer-term stabilisation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was neutral, indicating balanced momentum without extremes.
Despite the cautious technical backdrop, the stock outperformed the Sensex, which rose 0.46% to 35,787.64. The technical shift laid the groundwork for renewed investor interest, although the stock remained well below its 52-week high of Rs.272.00.
22 September: Upgrade to Hold as Technicals Improve Amid Mixed Financials
On 22 September, Greaves Cotton’s rating was upgraded from 'Sell' to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO, reflecting improved technical momentum despite mixed financial results. The stock closed at Rs.199.30, up 0.38%, while the Sensex declined 0.32% to 35,672.04.
The upgrade was driven by a nuanced assessment of the company’s fundamentals: a net-debt free balance sheet, strong long-term operating profit growth at 35.42% annualised, and a fair valuation with a price-to-book ratio of 3.2. However, recent quarterly results showed softness, with profit before tax excluding other income down 38.2% and profit after tax falling 11.2%, alongside margin pressures.
Technically, the stock’s daily moving averages turned mildly bullish, and the weekly Dow Theory indicator shifted to mildly bullish, supporting the upgrade. Yet, some indicators remained mixed, including a mildly bearish weekly MACD and neutral RSI, suggesting cautious optimism.

23 September: Mildly Bullish Technical Momentum Signals
On 23 September, the stock gained 3.34% to close at Rs.205.95, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.56% gain. The technical momentum shifted further towards a mildly bullish stance, supported by daily moving averages turning positive and a bullish monthly MACD. However, weekly MACD and KST indicators remained mildly bearish, reflecting some caution among medium-term traders.
The Relative Strength Index remained neutral, while Bollinger Bands showed mixed signals with weekly mildly bearish and monthly bullish readings. On-balance volume lacked a clear trend, indicating volume was not yet decisively supporting the price moves. The stock’s recovery phase was evident, but the mixed technical signals suggested the need for confirmation of sustained momentum.
24 September: Intraday High with 7.79% Surge Amid Market Weakness
Greaves Cotton demonstrated exceptional strength on 24 September, surging 7.79% to an intraday high of Rs.222.35 and closing at Rs.221.90. This rally marked the sixth consecutive day of gains, cumulatively delivering an 18.53% return over this period. The stock outperformed its sector by 7.56% and the Sensex, which fell 1.62% to 35,291.38, highlighting a stark divergence from broader market weakness.
The stock’s price moved above all major moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling strong positive technical momentum. Despite mixed weekly and monthly technical indicators, the daily trend was clearly bullish, supported by sustained buying interest and volume expansion.
This performance underscored Greaves Cotton’s resilience amid sector headwinds and a challenging market environment, reinforcing the upgraded Hold rating and a Mojo Score of 55.0.

The sustained gains over the week, culminating in an 18.95% rise, mark a significant technical and sentiment shift for the stock.
