27 January 2026: Sharp Decline on Heavy Selling Pressure
Network People Services Technologies Ltd opened the week under pressure, closing at Rs.1,246.70, down 3.78% from the previous close of Rs.1,295.70.

28 January 2026: Stock Hits 52-Week Low and Downgrade to Strong Sell
The stock continued its downward trajectory, slipping marginally by 0.06% to Rs.1,245.90, but more importantly, it touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs.1,220 during intraday trading. This marked a critical technical level, underscoring the sustained bearish momentum. On the same day, MarketsMOJO downgraded the stock from Sell to Strong Sell, citing deteriorating financial performance, including a 49.57% decline in profit after tax to ₹17.03 crores over the last six months and a 36.07% contraction in net sales to ₹80.30 crores.
The downgrade also highlighted the stretched valuation, with the stock trading at a price-to-book ratio of 6.3 despite a modest return on equity of 6.8%. This disconnect between valuation and earnings quality has contributed to the negative sentiment. The Sensex advanced 1.12% to 36,188.16, further emphasising the stock’s underperformance.

Negative Financial Trends: The company’s profit after tax declined by 49.57% to ₹17.03 crores over the last six months, while net sales contracted by 36.07% to ₹80.30 crores. These figures highlight significant operational challenges and a deteriorating earnings quality.
Valuation Concerns: Trading at a price-to-book ratio of 6.3 with a modest return on equity of 6.8%, the stock’s valuation appears stretched relative to its financial performance, raising questions about sustainability at current price levels.
Technical Weakness: The stock has fallen below all key moving averages and hit a 52-week low of Rs.1,220, signalling sustained selling pressure and a bearish outlook among investors.
Market Underperformance: While the Sensex gained 1.62% during the week, Network People Services Technologies Ltd declined 6.50%, reflecting company-specific headwinds amid a generally positive market environment.
Rating Downgrade: The downgrade to Strong Sell by MarketsMOJO on 27 January 2026, with a Mojo Score of 28.0, underscores the growing concerns about the company’s financial health and market positioning.
Conclusion
Network People Services Technologies Ltd’s performance this week was marked by a clear downward trajectory, driven by weak financial results, stretched valuation, and negative technical signals. The stock’s fall to a 52-week low and the downgrade to Strong Sell reflect mounting challenges in reversing its negative trend. Despite a conservative capital structure and historically strong management efficiency, the current financial contraction and market sentiment suggest continued caution. Investors should closely monitor the company’s ability to stabilise earnings and justify its valuation before considering exposure in this stock.
