19 January 2026: Upper Circuit Surge on Robust Buying Momentum
IFB Agro Industries Ltd opened the week with a strong rally, hitting its upper circuit limit with a 4.51% gain to close at ₹1,563.50. The stock demonstrated robust buying pressure despite a broader market decline, outperforming the Sensex which fell 0.49%. Intraday volatility was notable, with a low of ₹1,440.90 and a high of ₹1,570.80. Trading volumes were healthy at approximately 28,684 shares, signalling genuine investor interest and accumulation rather than speculative trading.
Technically, the stock was trading above all key moving averages, indicating a sustained uptrend. The upper circuit hit reflected unfilled demand and strong conviction among buyers, setting a bullish tone early in the week.
20 January 2026: Continued Buying Push Sends Stock to Upper Circuit Again
The momentum carried into 20 January, with IFB Agro Industries Ltd again hitting the upper circuit limit, closing at ₹1,494.90, up 1.51% on the day. This outperformance was remarkable given the beverages sector declined 0.73% and the Sensex slipped 0.50%. The stock’s intraday high reached ₹1,546.20, fully utilising the 5% price band and triggering a regulatory freeze on further trading.
Delivery volumes increased by 15.6% compared to the five-day average, reinforcing the strength of genuine investor participation. The stock’s technical indicators remained positive, supported by a strong Mojo Score of 80.0 and an upgraded Mojo Grade of Strong Buy as of 13 January 2026.

21 January 2026: Sharp Reversal with Lower Circuit Triggered
After two days of strong gains, IFB Agro Industries Ltd faced intense selling pressure on 21 January, plunging to its lower circuit limit and closing at ₹1,370.90, down 5.0%. The stock underperformed both the beverages sector, which declined 2.03%, and the Sensex, which fell 0.77%. Intraday volatility was elevated at 5.86%, with the stock opening higher but quickly reversing to close near the day’s low.
Delivery volumes dropped sharply by 36.73%, indicating waning long-term investor interest amid the sell-off. Technically, the stock fell below its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, signalling short- to medium-term bearish momentum despite remaining above longer-term averages. This sudden reversal highlighted the micro-cap’s susceptibility to volatility and market sentiment shifts.
22 January 2026: Mojo Grade Downgrade Reflects Mixed Technical Signals
MarketsMOJO downgraded IFB Agro Industries Ltd’s rating from Strong Buy to Buy on 21 January, reflecting a moderation in technical indicators despite strong financial fundamentals. The Mojo Score adjusted to 72.0, with the downgrade driven by mildly bearish weekly MACD and mixed momentum signals, while monthly indicators remained bullish.
The company’s financials remain robust, with net profit surging 986.12% to ₹22.70 crores in Q2 FY25-26 and a debt-free balance sheet. Valuation metrics remain attractive, with a price-to-book ratio of 2 and a PEG ratio of zero, underscoring exceptional profit growth. However, limited institutional participation, with domestic mutual funds holding just 0.02%, suggests some caution among professional investors.
23 January 2026: Another Lower Circuit Hit Amid Heavy Selling Pressure
The week closed on a volatile note as IFB Agro Industries Ltd plunged again to its lower circuit limit, closing at ₹1,382.85, down 4.67% on the day. The stock underperformed the beverages sector’s 1.34% decline and the Sensex’s 0.77% fall. Intraday volatility remained high at 5.77%, with the weighted average price skewed towards the lower band, indicating dominant selling pressure.
Delivery volumes fell sharply by 71.19%, signalling deteriorating investor conviction. The stock traded below its short-term moving averages, reflecting bearish momentum. Despite this, the company retains a Mojo Grade of Buy and a Mojo Score of 72.0, suggesting that fundamentals remain intact amid near-term technical weakness.
