The initial rally set the tone for a volatile but upward-trending week.
28 January: Profit Surge Drives 13.10% Rally to Rs.67.67
The stock’s momentum accelerated on 28 January following the release of Gujarat Poly Electronics’ Q2 FY26 results. The company reported its highest quarterly profit after tax (PAT) of ₹24.65 crores and an earnings per share (EPS) of ₹28.83, marking a significant improvement in bottom-line performance. Despite operating profitability challenges, with a negative PBDIT of ₹0.53 crores, the strong non-operating income offset losses, resulting in a positive financial trend score rising from 3 to 12.
Market reaction was enthusiastic, with the stock surging 13.10% to a weekly high of Rs.67.67 on heavy volume of 19,226 shares. The Sensex also advanced 1.12% to 36,188.16, but Gujarat Poly’s outperformance was pronounced.

29 January: Mixed Quarterly Results Temper Gains
On 29 January, Gujarat Poly Electronics Ltd reported mixed quarterly results that tempered the previous day’s enthusiasm. While the company achieved its highest PAT and EPS figures, operating profitability remained under pressure with negative PBDIT and PBT excluding other income. Non-operating income accounted for over 102% of profit before tax, highlighting reliance on non-core earnings.
The stock reacted negatively, falling 6.15% to Rs.63.51 on a volume of 16,367 shares, despite the Sensex rising 0.22% to 36,266.59. Additionally, valuation concerns surfaced as the company’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio rose to 13.39 and price-to-book value (P/BV) to 4.00, shifting its valuation grade from fair to expensive. The enterprise value to EBITDA multiple stood at a high 39.06, well above peers in the Other Electrical Equipment sector, signalling stretched price levels.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) was modest at 6.63%, contrasting with a stronger return on equity (ROE) of 29.85%, suggesting financial leverage effects. The company’s Mojo Score was downgraded to 28.0, categorised as Strong Sell, reflecting increased caution amid valuation and operational challenges.
30 January: Week Closes Slightly Lower Amid Profit Taking
The final trading day saw a mild decline of 0.80% to Rs.63.00 on reduced volume of 6,947 shares, as investors digested the week’s mixed signals. The Sensex fell 0.22% to 36,185.03, indicating a broadly cautious market mood. Gujarat Poly Electronics ended the week with a strong 15.74% gain, substantially outperforming the Sensex’s 1.62% rise, but the stock’s retreat on the last day underscored lingering concerns about valuation and operating profitability.

Key Takeaways
Strong Profit Growth: Gujarat Poly Electronics Ltd posted its highest quarterly PAT of ₹24.65 crores and EPS of ₹28.83, signalling a significant bottom-line improvement despite operating losses.
Financial Trend Improvement: The company’s financial trend score improved markedly from 3 to 12, reflecting a positive shift in overall financial health and market sentiment.
Valuation Concerns: Despite the rally, valuation metrics such as P/E of 13.39, P/BV of 4.00, and EV/EBITDA of 39.06 indicate the stock is trading at a premium relative to peers and historical levels, raising questions about price sustainability.
Market Outperformance: The stock outperformed the Sensex by a wide margin, gaining 15.74% versus the index’s 1.62% rise, driven by strong investor interest and positive news flow.
Operational Challenges Persist: Negative operating profitability and reliance on non-operating income remain cautionary signals, highlighting the need for improved core business performance.
Conclusion
Gujarat Poly Electronics Ltd’s week was characterised by a sharp share price rally fuelled by record quarterly profits and an improved financial trend score. However, the company’s operating losses and stretched valuation metrics temper the optimism, suggesting that the recent gains may be vulnerable to profit-taking and market reassessment. While the stock’s outperformance relative to the Sensex is notable, investors should remain mindful of the underlying operational challenges and elevated price levels. The coming quarters will be critical in determining whether Gujarat Poly can sustain profitability improvements and justify its premium valuation in a competitive sector environment.
