16 February: Sharp Decline to 52-Week Low Amid Market Resilience
On 16 Feb 2026, NINtec Systems Ltd’s share price plunged to a 52-week low of Rs.311, closing the day at Rs.321.35, down 5.72% from the previous close. The stock opened sharply lower, down 8.76%, reflecting sustained selling pressure throughout the session. This decline contrasted with the broader market’s positive performance, as the Sensex closed up 0.70% at 36,787.89.
The stock’s underperformance was notable against its sector peers and the broader indices, with the Computers - Software & Consulting sector also facing pressure. NINtec’s price fell below all key moving averages, signalling continued downward momentum. Over the past year, the stock has declined 31.58%, starkly underperforming the Sensex’s 8.90% gain.
Despite the price weakness, the company’s fundamentals remain robust. Quarterly net sales hit a record Rs.43.28 crores, with PBDIT reaching Rs.11.05 crores, the highest recorded. Profit after tax for the nine months rose 22.67% to Rs.23.27 crores, and the return on equity stands at a strong 38.1%. The company maintains a debt-free balance sheet, with a zero debt-to-equity ratio.
MarketsMOJO Upgrades Rating to Hold on Improved Technicals and Valuation
Coinciding with the price drop on 16 Feb, MarketsMOJO upgraded NINtec Systems Ltd’s mojo grade from Sell to Hold, reflecting a nuanced improvement in technical indicators and valuation metrics. The upgrade was driven by a shift from bearish to mildly bearish technical signals, including a softening of the monthly MACD and bullish RSI readings on both weekly and monthly charts.
The stock’s price-to-book ratio of 8.3, while elevated, is supported by a high ROE of 38.1%, indicating efficient capital utilisation. The PEG ratio of 0.3 suggests undervaluation relative to earnings growth. Despite recent underperformance, the company’s long-term returns remain exceptional, with a five-year gain exceeding 6,000% compared to the Sensex’s 60.30%.
This upgrade signals cautious optimism, recognising the company’s strong financial growth and stabilising technical outlook amid recent price volatility.

Technical Momentum Shifts Amid Mixed Signals
Also on 16 Feb, technical momentum indicators presented a complex picture. The weekly MACD remained bearish but showed signs of easing, while the RSI was bullish on both weekly and monthly timeframes, suggesting emerging buying interest. Bollinger Bands remained bearish weekly but mildly bearish monthly, indicating elevated volatility with potential stabilisation.
Daily moving averages continued to reflect bearish trends, with the stock trading below key averages such as the 50-day and 200-day. The Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator and Dow Theory readings were mixed, with weekly indicators mildly bullish and monthly indicators mildly bearish. On-Balance Volume (OBV) was mildly bullish weekly but mildly bearish monthly, reflecting uncertain volume trends.
This blend of signals suggests the stock is in a transitional phase, with some technical indicators pointing to potential recovery while others caution continued pressure.
17 February: Bearish Momentum Intensifies Despite Some Bullish Oscillators
On 17 Feb, NINtec Systems Ltd closed at Rs.331.10, gaining 3.03% from the previous day’s close of Rs.321.35, recovering somewhat from the prior day’s lows. However, the overall technical trend deteriorated from mildly bearish to outright bearish, signalling increased downside risk. The stock remained below key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish outlook.
MACD indicators on weekly and monthly charts confirmed sustained downward momentum, while the RSI continued to show bullish readings, indicating easing selling pressure. Bollinger Bands on both weekly and monthly charts remained bearish, suggesting ongoing volatility with a downward bias.
The Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator and Dow Theory assessments remained bearish or mildly bearish, and On-Balance Volume (OBV) showed no clear bullish accumulation. This technical environment reflects a cautious market stance, with the stock vulnerable to further declines unless key resistance levels are breached.
