Wednesday, 21 January 2026: Fresh 52-Week Low and Valuation Downgrade
Orient Green Power’s stock declined further by 1.60% to Rs.9.85, marking a ninth consecutive session of losses and a new 52-week low. The cumulative loss over this period reached 15.39%. The stock underperformed the power sector by 1.08% and the Sensex by 0.47%, which itself fell 0.78% to 35,815.26. On this day, the company’s valuation shifted from very expensive to expensive, accompanied by a downgrade to a Strong Sell rating by MarketsMOJO. The price-to-earnings ratio stood at 21.17, with a price-to-book value near 1, signalling limited upside. Despite a low PEG ratio of 0.16 and improved profitability metrics, concerns over high promoter share pledging (99.99%) and elevated debt levels weighed heavily on sentiment.
Thursday, 22 January 2026: Brief Recovery on Market Bounce
The stock rebounded modestly, gaining 2.13% to close at Rs.10.06, supported by a broader market recovery where the Sensex rose 0.76% to 36,088.66. This uptick interrupted the downward trend but did not reverse the overall weekly losses. The volume declined to 266,832 shares, suggesting cautious buying. Despite this, the stock remained below all key moving averages, indicating that the technical outlook remained bearish.
Friday, 23 January 2026: Week Ends with Slight Decline
Orient Green Power closed the week at Rs.9.91, down 1.49% on the day and 7.73% for the week. The Sensex fell 1.33% to 35,609.90, marking a third consecutive weekly decline. The stock’s volume was the lowest of the week at 176,331 shares, reflecting subdued investor interest. The persistent downward pressure was linked to ongoing concerns about the company’s financial health, including high leverage (Debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.00) and significant promoter share pledging, which has increased by 96.49% over the last quarter.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Persistent Downtrend: The stock’s nine-day losing streak and multiple 52-week lows highlight sustained bearish momentum, exacerbated by technical weakness below all major moving averages.
Valuation Concerns: The downgrade from very expensive to expensive valuation, combined with a Strong Sell rating and a Mojo Score of 23.0, signals deteriorating investor confidence and price attractiveness issues.
Financial Fundamentals: Despite a 136.6% rise in profits over the past year and a strong operating profit to interest coverage ratio of 6.71 times, the company’s high leverage (Debt to EBITDA of 4.00) and slow sales growth (2.27% annually) remain cautionary factors.
Promoter Share Pledging: Nearly all promoter shares are pledged (99.99%), with a sharp increase in pledged holdings over the last quarter, raising concerns about potential forced selling in a declining market.

Conclusion: A Challenging Week Amid Structural Concerns
Orient Green Power Company Ltd’s stock endured a difficult week, declining 7.73% and hitting fresh 52-week lows despite some operational improvements such as strong liquidity and improved interest coverage. The stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector indices reflects ongoing concerns about valuation, high leverage, and significant promoter share pledging. The downgrade to a Strong Sell rating and the shift to an expensive valuation category underscore the market’s cautious stance. While pockets of profitability growth exist, the overall risk profile remains elevated, and the stock’s technical indicators suggest continued downward pressure in the near term.
