24 February: Lower Circuit Triggered Amid Heavy Selling

On 24 February 2026, Impex Ferro Tech Ltd’s shares plunged to their lower circuit limit, closing at Rs.1.73 with a daily loss of 0.57%. The stock experienced intense selling pressure, with an intraday low of Rs.1.65 and limited trading volume of 6,909 shares. This triggered automatic trading restrictions, underscoring the fragile investor sentiment surrounding the micro-cap company. Despite the broader market’s mixed performance—Sensex declined 0.78% and the ferrous metals sector fell 1.24%—the stock’s extreme volatility was evident as it hit the maximum permissible daily loss.

Technical indicators remain bearish, with the stock trading below all key moving averages, signalling a lack of near-term recovery prospects. The session’s heavy selling was exacerbated by an imbalance between supply and demand, with insufficient buy orders to absorb the selling volume. Notably, delivery volume data from the previous day showed a 48.27% increase compared to the 5-day average, indicating some investor willingness to hold despite the sell-off.

27 February: Shares Touch 52-Week Low Amid Continued Weakness

Impex Ferro Tech Ltd’s stock declined further to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.1.63 on 27 February 2026, closing near this level with a daily loss of 0.59%. This marked the culmination of a week-long downtrend, with the stock trading approximately 4.12% above this low by the close. The broader market was also subdued, with the Sensex falling 1.16% to 36,322.56, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.

Fundamentally, the company continues to face significant challenges. Its financial profile shows a negative book value and flat operating profit growth over the past five years, while net sales have declined at an annual rate of 100%. Despite a modest 71.6% increase in profits over the past year, the stock’s valuation remains risky, and its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) are negative. The MarketsMOJO platform maintains a Mojo Score of 12.0 and a Mojo Grade of Strong Sell, upgraded from Sell in September 2024, reflecting deteriorating fundamentals and weak price momentum.

Key Takeaways from the Week

Persistent Downtrend and Volatility: Impex Ferro Tech Ltd’s stock declined steadily throughout the week, losing 4.55% overall, markedly underperforming the Sensex’s 0.96% fall. The lower circuit hit on 24 February and the 52-week low on 27 February underscore the stock’s heightened volatility and bearish momentum.

Technical and Fundamental Weakness: The stock remains below all major moving averages, signalling sustained bearishness. Fundamental challenges persist, including negative book value, flat operating profit growth, and negative EBITDA, which weigh heavily on investor confidence.

Micro-Cap Illiquidity and Market Sentiment: Limited trading volumes and micro-cap status contribute to price swings and liquidity constraints. Despite some increased delivery volumes indicating selective investor interest, overall sentiment remains cautious, reflected in the MarketsMOJO Strong Sell rating.

Sectoral and Market Context: The ferrous metals sector and broader market showed mixed to negative trends, with sectoral headwinds from commodity price fluctuations and demand uncertainties impacting performance. Impex Ferro Tech’s share price trajectory reflects these broader pressures compounded by company-specific issues.

Conclusion

Impex Ferro Tech Ltd’s performance in the week ending 27 February 2026 highlights a precarious position characterised by sustained selling pressure, technical weakness, and fundamental challenges. The stock’s lower circuit hit and 52-week low reflect investor caution amid limited liquidity and deteriorating financial metrics. While some pockets of investor participation remain, the overall outlook is subdued, with the stock underperforming the broader market and sector indices. Market participants should remain vigilant to any changes in the company’s fundamentals or sector dynamics that could influence future price movements.
