Wednesday, 21 January: Bearish Momentum Confirmed with Technical Downturn
On 21 January, Mindteck’s bearish momentum intensified as the stock declined 3.10% to Rs.202.85, marking the week’s lowest close. This drop was sharper than the Sensex’s 0.47% fall to 35,815.26. Technical indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator turned decisively bearish, while the stock traded below key daily moving averages. The intraday range between Rs.208.00 and Rs.235.00 highlighted increased volatility amid selling pressure. Volume was relatively low at 5,390 shares, suggesting cautious trading amid uncertainty.
Thursday, 22 January: Technical Bounce Offers Temporary Relief
After three consecutive days of decline, Mindteck rebounded on 22 January, gaining 2.98% to close at Rs.208.90. This recovery outpaced the Sensex’s 0.76% rise to 36,088.66, indicating a short-term technical correction. The bounce was supported by a modest increase in volume to 5,186 shares. Despite this, the stock remained below its weekly open and key resistance levels, with technical indicators still signalling caution.
Friday, 23 January: Week Ends with Mild Decline Amid Market Weakness
Mindteck closed the week at Rs.211.45, up 1.22% on the day but still down 4.73% for the week. The Sensex fell 1.33% to 35,609.90, meaning Mindteck marginally outperformed the benchmark on the final trading day. Volume surged to 32,330 shares, reflecting increased investor interest. However, the overall weekly trend remained negative, with the stock failing to regain lost ground amid persistent bearish technical signals and weak financial outlook.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Bearish Technical Momentum: The downgrade to Strong Sell was underpinned by a clear shift in technical indicators, including bearish MACD on weekly and monthly charts, bearish KST oscillator, and the stock trading below key moving averages. These signals suggest sustained downward pressure on price momentum.
Weak Financial Performance: Mindteck’s recent quarterly results revealed a 21.6% decline in profit after tax and a low ROCE of 13.41%, highlighting operational challenges. The high PEG ratio of 14.2 further indicates that the stock’s valuation is not supported by earnings growth, raising concerns about future profitability.
Relative Underperformance: The stock’s 4.73% weekly decline outpaced the Sensex’s 3.31% fall, reflecting heightened selling pressure on Mindteck. Over the past year, the stock has underperformed the broader market significantly, with a negative return of 19.34% compared to the BSE500’s positive 4.98%.
Volume and Volatility: Trading volumes fluctuated during the week, peaking on the final day with 32,330 shares, indicating increased investor attention amid volatile price swings. The intraday price range on 21 January showed elevated volatility, consistent with bearish market sentiment.
