13 February 2026: Intraday Low and Price Pressure Amid Sector Weakness
The final trading day of the week saw Indian Hotels face significant selling pressure, closing at Rs.700.25, down Rs.11.35 or 1.59%. The stock touched an intraday low of Rs.683.95, a 3.89% drop from the previous close, signalling a sharp reversal after four days of gains. This decline occurred despite the stock marginally outperforming its sector, which fell 2.41% on the day. The Hotels, Resorts & Restaurants sector’s weakness, combined with broader market declines, weighed heavily on the stock.
Technically, the stock traded below its 5-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages but remained above the 20-day average, indicating mixed signals and a cautious outlook. The Sensex also declined sharply by 1.40% to 36,532.48, reflecting a broadly negative market environment. The stock’s Mojo Score of 41.0 and Sell rating, downgraded from Hold earlier in January, align with the recent price pressures and technical challenges.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Indian Hotels outperformed the Sensex by 3.12% over the week, demonstrating resilience amid a broadly negative market. The stock’s steady gains through the first four days, culminating in a weekly high of Rs.711.60, were supported by a strong seasonal uptick in Q3 results. The marginal outperformance relative to its sector on the final day also suggests relative strength despite sectoral headwinds.
Cautionary Signals: The sharp intraday low and 1.59% decline on 13 February highlight short-term technical weakness and profit-taking. Trading below multiple key moving averages except the 20-day average signals a cautious market stance. The downgrade to a Sell rating and a Mojo Score of 41.0 reflect concerns about the stock’s near-term momentum and underlying challenges masked by seasonal strength.

Conclusion
Indian Hotels Co Ltd’s performance during the week of 9 to 13 February 2026 was characterised by steady gains driven by seasonal strength and a positive start to the quarter. However, the stock’s decline on the final day amid sectoral weakness and technical pressures underscores the challenges it faces in sustaining momentum. The downgrade to a Sell rating and the mixed technical signals suggest investors remain cautious. While the stock outperformed the Sensex over the week, the recent price pressure and intraday lows highlight the need for careful monitoring of sector trends and broader market conditions going forward.
