Gulshan Polyols Ltd Declines 0.66% Amid Bearish Technical Shift and 52-Week Low

27 January: New 52-Week Low Amid Continued Downtrend

Gulshan Polyols Ltd’s shares fell to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.126.15 on 27 January 2026, marking a significant milestone in its recent price trajectory. The stock declined by 0.43% on the day, closing at Rs.127.90, continuing a downtrend that saw a 5.6% loss over two prior sessions. This decline occurred despite the broader market’s positive performance, with the Sensex rising 0.50% to 35,786.84 points.

The stock’s technical positioning remained weak, trading below all key moving averages including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This indicated sustained downward momentum and a lack of short-term support. The underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector benchmarks highlighted ongoing investor caution despite the company’s recent financial improvements.

Fundamentally, Gulshan Polyols has demonstrated robust growth in net sales and operating profit, with net sales expanding at an annual rate of 35.29% and operating profit growing 46.00%. The company’s net profit after tax for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 rose by 105.26% to Rs.35.90 crores, reflecting strong operational performance. However, elevated leverage with a debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.65 times and modest return on equity of 5.17% continue to weigh on sentiment.

28 January: Modest Recovery Amid Market Rally

On 28 January, Gulshan Polyols rebounded to close at Rs.130.05, gaining 1.68% on the day. This recovery coincided with a strong Sensex rally of 1.12%, which closed at 36,188.16 points. The stock’s volume was relatively low at 1,352 shares, suggesting cautious buying interest.

This bounce back, however, was insufficient to reverse the week’s overall negative trend. The stock remained below key moving averages, and the recovery appeared more technical than fundamental. The broader market’s strength was driven by mega-cap stocks, while Gulshan Polyols continued to face sector-specific headwinds and investor scepticism.

29 January: Sharp Decline on Increased Selling Pressure

The stock declined sharply on 29 January, closing at Rs.127.55, down 1.92% from the previous day’s close. This drop occurred despite the Sensex gaining 0.22% to 36,266.59 points, highlighting the stock’s relative weakness. Trading volume surged to 3,783 shares, indicating increased selling pressure.

This decline brought the stock perilously close to its 52-week low, reinforcing the bearish technical outlook. The stock’s price action suggested that short-term traders were exiting positions amid uncertainty, while longer-term investors remained cautious given the company’s elevated debt levels and modest profitability ratios.

30 January: Technical Momentum Shifts Bearish Amid Mixed Indicators

On the final trading day of the week, Gulshan Polyols closed marginally higher at Rs.127.60, up 0.04%. However, the technical momentum shifted decisively to a bearish trend. The stock traded within a narrow range of Rs.126.80 to Rs.130.05, remaining close to its 52-week low of Rs.125.00.

Technical indicators presented a mixed picture. The weekly Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remained mildly bullish, suggesting some short-term positive momentum, but the monthly MACD was bearish, indicating longer-term weakness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovered in neutral territory, showing limited conviction among traders.

Bollinger Bands readings on weekly and monthly charts pointed to downward pressure, with the stock near the lower band, signalling potential continuation of the downtrend. Daily moving averages remained firmly bearish, with the stock below the 50-day and 200-day averages. The Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator was mildly bullish weekly but bearish monthly, while Dow Theory assessments indicated a mildly bearish stance overall.

On-Balance Volume (OBV) readings were contradictory, with weekly OBV mildly bearish and monthly OBV mildly bullish, suggesting a tussle between short-term sellers and longer-term buyers. This complexity underscores the stock’s uncertain near-term outlook despite the recent upgrade in its Mojo Grade from Sell to Hold.

Daily Price Comparison: Gulshan Polyols Ltd vs Sensex

Key Takeaways

Positive Signals: Gulshan Polyols has demonstrated strong financial growth, with net sales expanding at 35.29% annually and net profit after tax rising by over 100% in the nine months ended September 2025. The recent upgrade in Mojo Grade from Sell to Hold reflects some improvement in fundamentals and market positioning. Mildly bullish weekly MACD and KST indicators, along with monthly OBV’s mild bullishness, suggest some longer-term accumulation by investors.

Cautionary Signals: The stock’s price declined to a 52-week low of Rs.126.15 early in the week and closed the week down 0.66%, underperforming the Sensex’s 1.62% gain. Technical momentum shifted from mildly bearish to bearish, with the stock trading below all key moving averages. Elevated leverage, with a debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.65 times, and modest return on equity of 5.17% highlight financial risks. Mixed technical indicators and sector headwinds add to the uncertainty.

Conclusion

Gulshan Polyols Ltd’s stock faced a challenging week, marked by a fresh 52-week low and a shift to bearish technical momentum despite solid financial growth and a Mojo Grade upgrade. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and its technical positioning below key averages indicate ongoing pressure. While some indicators suggest potential longer-term accumulation, the prevailing environment calls for caution. Investors should closely monitor support near Rs.125.00 and resistance around Rs.130.05, alongside sector developments and broader market trends, to gauge the stock’s near-term trajectory.
