Thursday, 27 August 2026: Technical Downgrade Triggers Sell-Off
The stock faced a setback on Thursday, declining 1.39% to ₹230.05 following a downgrade by MarketsMOJO from Hold to Sell. This downgrade was driven by deteriorating technical indicators and flat financial performance, signalling increasing bearish momentum. The stock’s intraday range was narrow, reflecting subdued volatility but persistent selling pressure. The Sensex also declined by 0.52%, compounding the negative sentiment. Volume rose slightly to 3,441 shares as investors reacted to the downgrade news.
Friday, 28 August 2026: Partial Recovery Despite Bearish Outlook
Despite the bearish technical backdrop, NIIT Learning Systems managed a 1.22% gain on Friday, closing at ₹232.85. The Sensex also recovered, rising 0.26%. The stock’s volume was 2,861 shares, indicating cautious buying interest. However, the technical indicators remained predominantly negative, with weekly RSI and Bollinger Bands signalling downward pressure. The stock’s price remains closer to its 52-week low of ₹204.00 than its high of ₹443.95, underscoring ongoing challenges.
