27 January 2026: Upper Circuit Triggered on Strong Buying Momentum
Lotus Eye Hospital & Institute Ltd opened the week with a robust gain, surging 4.96% to close at Rs.128.00, hitting the upper circuit limit. The stock opened with a 3.04% gap-up and touched an intraday high of Rs.128.27. Despite moderate volume of 1,765 shares, the buying pressure was intense enough to push the price to the 5% daily limit. This outperformance was notable against the Sensex’s 0.50% gain, signalling renewed investor interest despite the stock’s recent downgrade to a 'Hold' mojo grade.
Technically, the stock traded above all key moving averages, reinforcing the bullish momentum. However, delivery volumes declined sharply, suggesting speculative trading rather than long-term accumulation. The micro-cap stock’s market capitalisation stood at approximately Rs.254 crore, positioning it as a niche player in the hospital sector.
28 January 2026: Sustained Buying Pushes Stock to Upper Circuit Again
The rally continued on 28 January with Lotus Eye Hospital & Institute Ltd hitting the upper circuit limit once more, closing at Rs.134.40, a 5.00% gain from the previous day. The stock traded within a wide intraday range of Rs.123.49 to Rs.134.68, reflecting heightened volatility amid strong demand. Volume increased to 3,925 shares, with turnover rising to approximately Rs.0.65 crore, indicating improved liquidity.
The stock outperformed both the hospital sector, which gained 1.35%, and the Sensex’s 1.12% rise. Despite the strong price action, delivery volumes fell by 53.67%, hinting at continued short-term speculative interest. The stock remained just 3.36% below its 52-week high of Rs.139.20, maintaining a positive technical outlook supported by all major moving averages.

Market capitalisation rose to approximately Rs.294 crore, and the mojo grade remained at 'Hold' with a score of 58.0, upgraded from a previous 'Strong Sell' rating in May 2025. The stock’s strong technical and fundamental profile positioned it favourably within the hospital sector.

Lotus Eye Hospital & Institute Ltd opened 30 January with a gap-up of 2.06%, reaching a new 52-week and all-time high intraday price of Rs.147.6. However, the stock faced intense selling pressure, closing sharply lower at Rs.134.10, a 4.96% decline from the previous close, hitting the lower circuit limit. The intraday low was Rs.136.25, reflecting significant volatility.
Despite the day’s decline, the stock outperformed its sector by 0.42% but underperformed the Sensex, which closed down 0.22%. Volume surged to 5,994 shares with a turnover of Rs.1.42 crore, indicating active trading. Delivery volumes declined by 13.4%, signalling reduced buyer conviction amid the sell-off.
Technically, the stock remains above all major moving averages, maintaining a bullish trend despite the short-term correction. The mojo score stayed at 58.0 with a 'Hold' rating, reflecting improved fundamentals but cautioning investors about volatility risks inherent in micro-cap stocks.

Conclusion
Lotus Eye Hospital & Institute Ltd’s week was characterised by a powerful rally driven by strong buying interest, technical strength, and improved market perception. The stock’s ability to hit multiple upper circuits and achieve new all-time highs underscores its bullish momentum and relative outperformance within the hospital sector. However, the sharp correction and lower circuit hit on the final trading day highlight the volatility risks associated with micro-cap stocks and speculative trading activity.
Investors should weigh the positive technical and fundamental signals against the potential for short-term price swings. The 'Hold' mojo rating suggests a cautious stance, recognising both the upside potential and the need for vigilance amid fluctuating market conditions. Monitoring delivery volumes, sector developments, and broader market trends will be crucial for assessing the sustainability of this rally going forward.
