Wednesday, 29 January 2026: Sharp Decline Following Quarterly Results
Lyka Labs’ share price reversed sharply, falling 3.74% to close at Rs.72.57 on volume of 1,300 shares. This drop coincided with the release of the Q2 FY26 results, which revealed a significant operational setback. The company reported a loss before tax excluding other income (PBT LESS OI) of Rs.-1.32 crore, a 148.18% decline from the previous quarter, and a net profit after tax (PAT) of zero, marking a 100% fall. Net sales were at a low Rs.30.73 crore, underscoring the deepening financial stress. The stock’s underperformance contrasted with the Sensex’s modest 0.22% gain to 36,266.59 points, highlighting company-specific concerns.
Thursday, 30 January 2026: New 52-Week Low Amid Continued Downtrend
On the final trading day of the week, Lyka Labs’ stock hit a fresh 52-week low of Rs.71.25, closing at Rs.71.43, down 1.57% on thin volume of 362 shares. This marked a cumulative 5.35% decline over the last two sessions. The stock traded below all key moving averages, including 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. In contrast, the Sensex declined 0.22% to 36,185.03 points but remained resilient overall. The company’s high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.98 times and deteriorating profitability contributed to the negative sentiment. MarketsMOJO downgraded Lyka Labs to a “Strong Sell” with a Mojo Score of 26.0, reflecting the challenging outlook.

Key Takeaways
Lyka Labs Ltd’s share price exhibited a volatile week, initially rising on positive market sentiment before sharply reversing following the release of disappointing quarterly results. The stock’s 1.61% weekly decline contrasted with the Sensex’s 1.62% gain, indicating company-specific headwinds.
The Q2 FY26 results highlighted a deepening operational collapse, with a loss before tax excluding other income of Rs.-1.32 crore and zero net profit after tax. Net sales at Rs.30.73 crore were subdued, reflecting weak business performance. The company’s high leverage, with an average debt-to-equity ratio of 2.98 times, remains a significant risk factor.
Technically, the stock’s fall below all major moving averages and the fresh 52-week low at Rs.71.25 underscore sustained bearish momentum. Despite a relatively strong return on capital employed (ROCE) of 16.05%, this has not translated into improved profitability or investor confidence.
MarketsMOJO’s downgrade to a “Strong Sell” rating with a Mojo Score of 26.0 further emphasises the challenging outlook. The stock’s valuation metrics, including an EV/CE ratio of 2.2, suggest it trades at a discount to peers, but this has not been sufficient to attract buying interest amid deteriorating fundamentals.
Conclusion
Lyka Labs Ltd’s performance this week reflects a company grappling with significant financial and operational difficulties. The sharp losses reported in Q2 FY26 and the subsequent share price decline to a 52-week low highlight the challenges ahead. While the broader market maintained positive momentum, Lyka Labs underperformed markedly, weighed down by weak sales, high debt, and negative profitability trends.
Investors should note the sustained downtrend and the “Strong Sell” rating, which signal caution. The company’s ability to reverse this trajectory will depend on addressing its operational inefficiencies and improving financial health in coming quarters.
