Thursday, 8 January 2026: Sharp Decline Amid Heightened Selling
The stock experienced its steepest fall of the week, dropping 3.45% to close at Rs.112.05. This decline was accompanied by the highest weekly volume of 915,978 shares, signalling intensified selling pressure. The Sensex also fell sharply by 1.41% to 37,137.33, reflecting broader market weakness.

Friday, 9 January 2026: Downgrade Announcement and Continued Pressure
On the final trading day of the week, NBCC’s stock closed at Rs.109.30, down 2.45% from the previous day’s close. The Sensex declined 0.89% to 36,807.62. The downgrade of NBCC’s investment rating from Strong Buy to Buy by MarketsMOJO was the key event, reflecting concerns over mixed technical signals and valuation premiums. Despite strong fundamentals such as a 21.71% ROE and 25.7% PAT growth in the latest quarter, the technical moderation and stretched valuation metrics prompted a more cautious stance.

Positive Signals: NBCC maintains strong fundamental quality with a robust ROE of 21.71%, a 25.7% year-on-year PAT growth in the latest quarter, and a conservative debt profile. Long-term returns remain exceptional, with 3-year and 5-year returns of 339.26% and 428.06% respectively, far outpacing the Sensex.
Cautionary Signals: The stock’s valuation is elevated, trading at a Price to Book Value ratio of 11.3 and a PEG ratio of 2.1, indicating premium pricing relative to peers. Technical momentum has shifted from bullish to mildly bullish, with mixed signals from MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and KST indicators.
