24 February 2026: MarketsMOJO Upgrades Rating to Hold
The stock continued its downward trajectory, falling 1.72% to ₹102.60 on increased volume of 104,588 shares. This day marked a pivotal development as MarketsMOJO upgraded Gujarat Natural Resources Ltd’s rating from 'Sell' to 'Hold'. The upgrade was driven by improved technical indicators, including a bullish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on weekly and monthly charts, and strong quarterly financial results showing a 2,427.27% surge in operating profit for Q3 FY25-26. Despite the price dip, the technical momentum was deemed positive, signalling a potential turnaround.

The MarketsMOJO Mojo Score improved to 56.0, reinforcing the upgraded 'Hold' rating. The stock’s long-term returns remain exceptional, with a 426.15% gain over the past year, vastly outperforming the Sensex’s 10.44% rise.

26 February 2026: Price Declines Amid Mixed Technical Signals
The stock price declined again by 1.51% to ₹101.30 on relatively low volume of 32,635 shares. Technical indicators began to show a more nuanced picture: while the monthly MACD remained bullish, the weekly MACD turned mildly bearish. Bollinger Bands on weekly and monthly charts stayed mildly bullish, but the Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator showed a bearish weekly reading contrasting with a bullish monthly trend. These mixed signals suggested a potential consolidation phase after the recent rally.
27 February 2026: Mildly Bullish Momentum Despite Underperformance
Closing the week at ₹101.40, up 0.10% from the previous day, Gujarat Natural Resources Ltd showed signs of stabilisation. The stock traded within a range of ₹100.50 to ₹103.00, remaining well below its 52-week high of ₹113.96 but comfortably above its 52-week low of ₹19.27. The technical momentum shifted from bullish to mildly bullish, with daily moving averages still positive but weekly MACD and KST indicators mildly bearish. The Sensex fell 1.16% to 36,322.56, while the stock’s weekly return was -4.20%, indicating short-term underperformance but sustained longer-term strength.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The MarketsMOJO upgrade from 'Sell' to 'Hold' reflects improved technical momentum and strong quarterly financial results, including a remarkable 2,427.27% increase in operating profit for Q3 FY25-26. The stock’s long-term returns remain exceptional, with a 426.15% gain over the past year, far outpacing the Sensex. Bullish MACD indicators on monthly charts and daily moving averages support a constructive medium-term outlook.
Cautionary Notes: Despite the upgrade, the stock underperformed the Sensex this week, declining 4.20% amid mixed technical signals. Weekly MACD and KST indicators turned mildly bearish, suggesting potential short-term consolidation or correction. The company’s valuation remains elevated with a P/B ratio of 7.3 and modest ROE of 0.9%, indicating limited capital efficiency. Absence of domestic mutual fund holdings may signal institutional caution.

Conclusion
Gujarat Natural Resources Ltd’s week was marked by a notable technical and fundamental upgrade, signalling a shift from a sell to a hold stance amid improving financial momentum. However, the stock’s price performance lagged the broader market, reflecting mixed technical signals and valuation concerns. The mildly bullish monthly indicators suggest the longer-term uptrend remains intact, but short-term caution is warranted given weekly bearish signals. Investors should monitor upcoming quarterly results and sector developments closely to gauge the sustainability of this momentum. The stock’s exceptional long-term returns underscore its growth potential, yet its elevated valuation and lack of institutional backing advise a measured approach.
