2 February: Stock Hits 52-Week Low Amid Underperformance
On Monday, 2 February 2026, L&T Technology Services Ltd’s share price declined sharply, touching a 52-week low intraday of Rs.3,662.35. The stock closed at Rs.3,688.55, down 0.86% for the day, underperforming the Sensex which fell 1.03%. This marked a continuation of the stock’s subdued performance over the past year, with a 32.28% decline compared to the Sensex’s 4.48% gain over the same period.
The stock traded below all key moving averages, signalling technical weakness. Despite the broader market’s mixed signals, L&T Tech’s decline reflected company-specific challenges, including flat quarterly results and a six-month low in return on capital employed (ROCE) at 26.56%. Earnings per share (EPS) also dipped to Rs.28.55, the lowest in recent quarters. The stock’s premium valuation, with a price-to-book ratio of 6.4, contrasted with its recent earnings stagnation, contributing to investor caution.
3 February: Strong Gap Up Reflects Positive Market Sentiment
Following the prior day’s low, L&T Tech opened on 3 February with a significant gap up, rising 5.18% above the previous close to an intraday high of Rs.3,879.80. The stock closed at Rs.3,810.25, up 3.30%, outperforming the Sensex’s 2.63% gain and the IT - Software sector’s 2.11% rise. This outperformance highlighted renewed investor interest and short-term bullish momentum.
Technical indicators showed the stock trading above its 5-day moving average, though it remained below longer-term averages, indicating that medium- and long-term resistance levels were yet to be breached. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Bollinger Bands suggested bearishness on weekly and monthly charts, while momentum oscillators such as the Know Sure Thing (KST) and Dow Theory assessments echoed mild bearishness. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and On-Balance Volume (OBV) remained neutral, reflecting balanced momentum and volume dynamics.
L&T Tech’s adjusted beta of 1.09 confirmed its status as a high-volatility stock, consistent with the sharp price movements observed. The stock traded approximately 4.89% above its 52-week low, indicating that while the gap up was a positive development, the stock remained closer to its annual low range. The one-month performance remained weak, with a 13.45% decline versus the Sensex’s 2.43% fall.

4-6 February: Consolidation and Moderate Gains
On 4 February, L&T Tech’s price stabilised, closing marginally higher at Rs.3,814.70 (+0.12%) on moderate volume. The Sensex also gained 0.37%, reflecting a broadly positive market mood. The stock’s consolidation above the 5-day moving average suggested short-term support.
On 5 February, the stock slipped slightly by 0.16% to Rs.3,808.50, while the Sensex declined 0.53%. This minor pullback was in line with broader market weakness and did not materially alter the stock’s technical outlook.
Closing the week on 6 February, L&T Tech rebounded to Rs.3,860.35, gaining 1.36% on low volume. The Sensex edged up 0.10%, indicating a cautious but positive market environment. The stock’s weekly high of Rs.3,879.80 on 3 February remained intact, underscoring the significance of that gap up day as the week’s peak.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The stock’s 3.76% weekly gain notably outpaced the Sensex’s 1.51% rise, driven by a strong gap up on 3 February that demonstrated renewed investor interest. The upgrade in Mojo Grade to ‘Hold’ reflects modest improvement in fundamentals and market perception. The stock’s conservative capital structure with zero debt and healthy long-term ROE of 23.28% remain strengths.
Cautionary Signals: Despite the short-term rebound, L&T Tech remains near its 52-week low, with recent quarterly results showing stagnation and a slight contraction in profitability. Technical indicators on weekly and monthly charts remain bearish, and the stock trades below key longer-term moving averages. The premium valuation metrics, including a price-to-book ratio of 6.4, suggest limited margin for error amid uncertain earnings momentum.
Conclusion
L&T Technology Services Ltd’s week was characterised by a recovery from a significant 52-week low, culminating in a 3.76% gain that outperformed the broader market. The strong gap up on 3 February was the defining event, signalling short-term optimism. However, mixed technical signals and recent earnings stagnation counsel a cautious stance. The stock’s premium valuation and proximity to annual lows highlight ongoing challenges in regaining sustained upward momentum. Investors should monitor upcoming financial results and sector trends closely as the company navigates a complex market environment.
