9 February: Robust Trading Activity and Outperformance
Larsen & Toubro began the week with strong momentum, gaining 1.12% to close at Rs.4,113.45, outperforming the Sensex’s 1.04% rise. The stock saw robust liquidity with over 10.85 lakh shares traded and a turnover of approximately ₹44,551 lakhs, reflecting sustained investor interest. It traded above all key moving averages and was just 1.95% below its 52-week high, signalling technical strength. However, a decline in delivery volumes suggested some caution among long-term holders despite the positive price action.
11 February: Heavy Put Option Activity Indicates Hedging
Midweek, Larsen & Toubro witnessed a surge in put option volumes, particularly at the 4,100 strike price, with 6,015 contracts traded generating a turnover of ₹297.16 lakhs. This activity indicated increased bearish hedging or speculative positioning ahead of the 24 February expiry. Despite this, the stock price remained resilient, closing marginally lower by 0.12% at Rs.4,169.95, maintaining a position just below its 52-week high. The technical setup remained bullish, but declining delivery volumes hinted at waning investor participation.

Larsen & Toubro reached a significant milestone by hitting a new 52-week and all-time high of Rs.4,198.75 on 12 February. This peak came after a steady five-day rally delivering a cumulative gain of 3.2%. The stock outperformed its sector by 0.28% and the broader Sensex, which declined 0.36% that day. Trading volumes increased, and the stock maintained its position above all major moving averages, reinforcing a bullish technical outlook. Over the past year, L&T has delivered a remarkable 27.19% return, far exceeding the Sensex’s 10.19% gain.
13 February: Upgrade to Buy and Bullish Technical Momentum
On the final trading day of the week, Larsen & Toubro was upgraded by MarketsMOJO from Hold to Buy, reflecting improvements in quality, valuation, financial trends, and technical indicators. The Mojo Score rose to 75.0, signalling renewed investor confidence. The stock closed slightly lower at Rs.4,172.90 (-0.30%) amid heavy put option activity at the 4,100 strike, indicating cautious hedging despite the upgrade. Technical momentum shifted from mildly bullish to bullish, supported by positive moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and Dow Theory signals. The stock’s large-cap status and strong liquidity underpin its market leadership in the construction sector.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Larsen & Toubro’s 2.59% weekly gain amid a declining Sensex (-0.54%) highlights its relative strength and sector leadership. The stock’s new 52-week and all-time high at Rs.4,198.75 confirms sustained momentum supported by strong technical indicators and robust liquidity. The MarketsMOJO upgrade to Buy with a Mojo Score of 75.0 reflects improved fundamentals, valuation, and technical outlook. Institutional participation remains high, with a 63.3% stake, underscoring confidence from sophisticated investors.
Cautionary Signals: Heavy put option activity at strike prices near the current market level indicates increased hedging and cautious sentiment ahead of the 24 February expiry. Declining delivery volumes midweek suggest some profit-taking or reduced conviction among long-term holders. Mixed momentum indicators such as weekly MACD and KST oscillators point to potential short-term volatility or consolidation despite the overall bullish trend.
Conclusion
Larsen & Toubro Ltd. demonstrated a resilient and technically robust performance during the week of 9-13 February 2026, outperforming the broader market and reaching new price milestones. The combination of strong trading volumes, a new all-time high, and a positive upgrade from MarketsMOJO to a Buy rating underscores the company’s solid fundamentals and market positioning within the construction sector. However, the pronounced put option activity and mixed momentum signals suggest that investors are balancing optimism with prudent risk management as the February options expiry approaches. Overall, L&T remains a key large-cap stock exhibiting sustained growth potential, supported by favourable technical and fundamental factors.
