9 April 2026: Upgrade to Hold and Technical Momentum Shift
Following the strong price rally on 8 April, MarketsMOJO upgraded One 97 Communications Ltd’s rating from 'Sell' to 'Hold' on 9 April 2026. This upgrade was driven by outstanding financial performance, including a remarkable 927.27% net profit growth in the quarter ending December 2025 and a 109.8% increase in Profit Before Tax excluding Other Income to ₹18.00 crores compared to the previous four-quarter average.
The stock closed at Rs.1,113.05 on 9 April, down slightly by 1.34% from the previous day but maintaining a strong weekly trajectory. Technical indicators showed a shift from bearish to mildly bearish trends, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remaining bearish weekly but improving monthly, and Bollinger Bands signalling a mildly bearish weekly but bullish monthly outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained neutral, indicating no immediate overbought or oversold conditions.
Institutional holdings stood high at 72.08%, reflecting confidence from sophisticated investors. Despite the premium valuation with a Price to Book ratio of 4.6 and a modest Return on Equity of 0.4, the upgrade to Hold balanced the company’s strong fundamentals against valuation concerns.
10 April 2026: Week Closes on a Positive Note
The stock rebounded on 10 April, closing at Rs.1,123.00, up 2.26% from the previous close, and marking a 9.14% gain for the week. The Sensex also advanced 1.40% to 35,004.96, but the stock’s outperformance remained clear. Volume traded was 121,790 shares, indicating sustained investor interest.
Technical momentum remained cautiously optimistic, with daily moving averages still mildly bearish but longer-term monthly indicators bullish. The stock’s 52-week range of Rs.681.95 to Rs.1,381.75 suggests room for further growth, though resistance levels remain to be tested.
