Technical indicators showed a shift from bullish to mildly bullish, with daily moving averages turning positive and weekly MACD remaining supportive.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Positive Signals: Macfos Ltd demonstrated resilience by outperforming the Sensex with a 3.95% weekly gain versus the benchmark’s 1.62%. The strong rebound on 29 January following Q3 results highlighted robust growth momentum. Technical indicators such as bullish daily moving averages and weekly MACD support a positive near-term outlook. The upgrade in Mojo Grade to Hold reflects improved market sentiment and a more balanced risk-reward profile.
Cautionary Notes: Despite recent gains, the stock remains below its 52-week high of Rs.1,288.00 and has underperformed the Sensex over the past year with a negative return of approximately 29%. Mixed technical signals, including a mildly bearish monthly MACD and bearish weekly KST, suggest that longer-term momentum is uncertain. Valuation concerns raised in the Q3 earnings report warrant careful consideration. Sector headwinds in the competitive e-retail and e-commerce space continue to pose challenges.
