21 January 2026: Further Decline to New 52-Week Low
The downtrend continued as Himatsingka Seide Ltd’s stock fell to an intraday low of Rs.94.40, a fresh 52-week low, closing at Rs.96.15, down 1.54% on the day. This represented a cumulative loss of 9.46% over three sessions. The stock underperformed the textile sector, which declined 2.06%, and the Sensex, which fell 0.47% to 35,815.26 points. Elevated leverage and weak operational metrics continued to weigh on the stock, with the company’s ROCE at a modest 7.61% and slow net sales growth of 6.39% annually over five years. Institutional interest remained absent, with no domestic mutual fund holdings reported.
22 January 2026: Intraday Surge Signals Temporary Rebound
After three consecutive days of losses, the stock rebounded sharply on 22 January, surging 8.11% intraday to a high of Rs.103.95.

The stock opened with a gap-up of 2.08%, maintaining upward momentum throughout the session. Despite this strong intraday performance, the stock remained below its 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating the broader downtrend was intact. The rebound suggested short-term buying interest but did not fully reverse the week’s losses.
