6 January 2026: Technical Momentum Shifts to Sideways Amid Mixed Indicators
On 6 January, the stock closed almost flat at ₹1,199.60, down a negligible 0.01%, while the Sensex fell 0.19%. This day marked a pivotal shift in Kalpataru’s technical momentum from mildly bullish to sideways. Despite intraday highs of ₹1,221.00 and lows of ₹1,196.15, the stock showed consolidation above its 52-week low of ₹770.05 but remained below its 52-week high of ₹1,335.70.
Technical indicators painted a mixed picture: the MACD was mildly bearish on weekly and monthly charts, RSI hovered neutrally, and Bollinger Bands suggested short-term bearishness but longer-term mild bullishness. Daily moving averages retained a mildly bullish stance, yet the overall trend was indecisive. Volume trends and On-Balance Volume (OBV) showed no clear directional bias, reinforcing the sideways momentum narrative.

The stock experienced a significant drop of 2.13% to ₹1,174.00 on 7 January, accompanied by a surge in volume to 32,884 shares. This decline contrasted with a marginal Sensex gain of 0.03%, indicating stock-specific pressures. The drop coincided with the downgrade of Kalpataru’s overall Mojo Grade from Hold to Sell, reflecting increased caution amid sector headwinds and market volatility.
8 January 2026: Continued Downtrend Amid Bearish Technical Signals
On 8 January, Kalpataru’s stock price fell further by 3.19% to ₹1,136.60, with volume moderating to 6,012 shares. The Sensex declined sharply by 1.41%, closing at 37,137.33, reflecting broader market weakness. Technical indicators remained bearish, with Bollinger Bands signalling downside pressure and the KST oscillator maintaining a bearish stance. The stock’s decline was consistent with the cautious sentiment prevailing in the construction sector.
9 January 2026: Valuation Shifts Signal Renewed Price Attractiveness Despite Downgrade
Despite a further 1.85% decline to ₹1,115.60 on 9 January, Kalpataru Projects International Ltd’s valuation metrics improved notably. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stood at 23.66, and the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio was 2.79, both indicating enhanced price appeal relative to peers. The enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiple of 11.00 further underscored the stock’s relative attractiveness within the construction sector.
Comparative analysis showed Kalpataru’s PEG ratio at 0.48, suggesting undervaluation relative to earnings growth potential, contrasting sharply with peers such as PTC Industries, which trades at a PEG of 10.58. Operational efficiency metrics, including a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 14.88% and return on equity (ROE) of 11.79%, reinforced the company’s solid fundamentals despite short-term price weakness.
