25 February 2026: New 52-Week High of Rs.920 Signals Strong Momentum
The stock surged 4.33% on 25 February, closing at Rs.922.30 and hitting a new 52-week high of Rs.920 intraday. This represented a significant 4.07% increase from the previous day’s close and extended the stock’s winning streak to two days with a cumulative return of 4.21%. The Sensex also rebounded, gaining 0.41% to 36,679.75, but Mangalam Cement’s outperformance was notable. Technical indicators confirmed the stock’s strength, with prices trading above all key moving averages (5-day through 200-day), signalling robust investor confidence. The stock’s one-year return of 24.77% far exceeded the Sensex’s 11.12%, underscoring its relative strength within the cement sector.
26 February 2026: Further 52-Week High and Technical Upgrades
Mangalam Cement Ltd reached an even higher 52-week peak of Rs.939.3 on 26 February, closing at Rs.912.30, slightly down 1.08% from the previous day’s close but maintaining strong technical momentum. The day’s trading range between Rs.895.00 and Rs.925.00 reflected robust buying interest near the upper band. The stock’s MarketsMOJO score improved to 62.0, upgrading its rating from Sell to Hold, signalling growing investor confidence. Despite a minor pullback, the stock outperformed the Sensex, which rose 0.19% that day. Technical indicators such as the weekly MACD turned bullish, daily moving averages remained firmly positive, and Bollinger Bands suggested expanding volatility favouring higher prices. However, the weekly RSI indicated potential short-term overbought conditions, advising caution for immediate entries.
26 February 2026: Valuation Shifts to Fair Amid Strong Market Performance
Alongside technical upgrades, Mangalam Cement’s valuation profile evolved, shifting from attractive to fair as of early February 2026. The price-to-earnings ratio rose to 31.25, reflecting heightened growth expectations but moderating valuation appeal. The price-to-book value stood at 2.83, higher than some peers, indicating a premium for asset quality and profitability. Enterprise value to EBITDA was 14.12, positioning the stock in the mid-range of sector valuations. Despite elevated multiples, the company’s return on capital employed (9.45%) and return on equity (9.04%) remained moderate, with a low dividend yield of 0.16%. The PEG ratio of 0.40 suggested reasonable valuation relative to earnings growth. This recalibration signals that much of the stock’s strong performance is priced in, warranting careful assessment of growth prospects against premium valuations.

27 February 2026: Week Closes with Minor Pullback Amid Market Weakness
The week ended with Mangalam Cement Ltd closing at Rs.908.90, down 0.37% on the day, while the Sensex declined 1.16% to 36,322.56. Volume was notably lower at 2,398 shares, reflecting reduced trading activity. The stock’s slight retreat followed two days of strong gains and a new 52-week high, consistent with technical signals of short-term overbought conditions. Despite this, the stock outperformed the benchmark for the week, closing 1.76% higher versus the Sensex’s 0.96% decline. This relative strength highlights Mangalam Cement’s resilience amid broader market volatility.
