Jan 27: Bearish Momentum Drives Sharp Decline
Kajaria Ceramics opened the week on a weak note, falling 3.54% to close at Rs.901.40 on 27 January 2026. This decline followed a technical downgrade announced earlier, which shifted the stock’s momentum to bearish territory. Key technical indicators such as the MACD and Bollinger Bands signalled increased selling pressure, while the stock traded below its daily moving averages. Despite the broader market rally, with the Sensex gaining 0.50% to 35,786.84, Kajaria’s share price reflected investor caution amid deteriorating technical conditions.
Jan 28: Continued Weakness Despite Sensex Rally
The downward trend persisted on 28 January as the stock declined a further 2.01% to Rs.883.30. This drop occurred even as the Sensex surged 1.12% to 36,188.16, highlighting Kajaria’s underperformance relative to the broader market. The lower trading volume of 14,622 shares suggested subdued investor interest, possibly reflecting uncertainty following the technical downgrade and concerns over the company’s near-term outlook.

Jan 29: Modest Recovery on Thin Volume
On 29 January, Kajaria Ceramics saw a slight rebound, gaining 0.86% to close at Rs.890.90. This recovery came on relatively low volume of 8,417 shares, indicating limited conviction behind the move. The Sensex continued its upward trajectory, rising 0.22% to 36,266.59. The mixed technical signals, including a weekly RSI showing some short-term bullishness, may have contributed to this minor bounce, though the overall trend remained cautious.
Jan 30: Q3 FY26 Results Reveal Margin Pressures
The week concluded with Kajaria Ceramics releasing its Q3 FY26 results on 30 January. The company reported stable revenue but faced margin pressures that weighed on profitability. Despite these challenges, the stock rose 1.08% to Rs.900.55 on heavy volume of 408,423 shares, suggesting some investor interest in the results. The Sensex, however, declined 0.22% to 36,185.03, reflecting broader market volatility. The results underscored the operational challenges Kajaria faces amid a mixed sector environment.
