Jan 20-21: Continued Decline and New 52-Week Low
The bearish momentum intensified over the next two trading sessions. On 20 January, the stock plunged 3.31% to Rs.129.85, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s 1.82% decline. Volume also dropped to 580,392 shares, indicating reduced buying interest amid the sell-off.
On 21 January, IREDA hit a fresh 52-week low of Rs.127.05, closing at Rs.127.60 after a 1.73% fall. This marked the sixth consecutive day of losses, cumulatively eroding 9.08% of the stock’s value. The stock traded below all major moving averages, signalling sustained bearish technical conditions. Despite the broader market’s mixed performance—with the Sensex rebounding 0.16% that day—the stock’s underperformance highlighted company-specific pressures.
Fundamentally, IREDA’s financials remain robust, with a net sales CAGR of 32.07% and operating profit CAGR of 26.47%. The company reported record quarterly net sales of Rs.2,130.19 crore and PBDIT of Rs.1,951.00 crore in December 2025. Return on equity stood at a healthy 14.6%, and the price-to-book ratio was 2.8, indicating a premium valuation. However, the stock’s price decline contrasts with a 22.7% increase in profits over the past year, suggesting a disconnect between fundamentals and market sentiment.
Jan 22: Modest Recovery Amid Market Bounce
On 22 January, IREDA staged a modest recovery, gaining 1.88% to close at Rs.130.00. This rebound coincided with a 0.76% rise in the Sensex, reflecting a broader market bounce. Volume increased to 841,489 shares, suggesting some renewed buying interest. However, the stock remained below its opening price for the week and well off its 52-week high, indicating that the recovery was tentative.
Jan 23: Week Ends Lower on Renewed Selling Pressure
The week concluded with a 1.96% decline to Rs.127.45, as the stock succumbed to renewed selling pressure. The Sensex also fell 1.33%, closing at 35,609.90. Volume rose to 985,481 shares, reflecting active trading but a lack of sustained upward momentum. The stock’s weekly performance of -6.49% notably underperformed the Sensex’s -3.31%, underscoring the stock’s vulnerability amid sectoral and technical headwinds.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Despite the week’s price decline, IREDA’s underlying financials remain strong, with record quarterly sales and profits reported in December 2025. The company’s return on equity of 14.6% and manageable debt-equity ratio of 5.41 times reflect operational strength. The weekly MACD and On-Balance Volume indicators showed mild bullish hints, suggesting some short-term accumulation.
Cautionary Signals: The stock’s technical deterioration to a bearish trend, hitting a 52-week low, and consistent underperformance relative to the Sensex highlight significant downside risks. Trading below all key moving averages and a Mojo Grade of Sell reinforce the cautious outlook. Limited institutional interest, with domestic mutual funds holding only 0.42%, further signals subdued market confidence.
Conclusion
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd’s performance this week was marked by a clear technical downtrend and a fresh 52-week low, reflecting persistent selling pressure amid broader market volatility. While the company’s financial fundamentals demonstrate robust growth and profitability, these strengths have yet to translate into positive price momentum. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and bearish technical indicators suggest that investors remain cautious in the current environment.
Short-term traders may find limited opportunities in the mild technical rebounds observed, but the prevailing trend advises prudence. Monitoring sector developments and any fundamental catalysts will be essential for assessing potential shifts in momentum. For now, the stock remains under pressure, with downside risks outweighing near-term upside.
