27 January 2026: Record Highs Amid Volatility
Prime Focus Ltd reached a significant milestone on 27 January 2026, touching a new 52-week and all-time high of Rs.258.95 during intraday trading. This represented a remarkable rally, with the stock opening sharply higher by 18.98% from the previous close. Despite this intraday surge, the stock closed at Rs.216.25, down 0.64% for the day, reflecting considerable volatility with a wide trading range between Rs.209.30 and Rs.258.95.
The stock’s ability to hit this peak amid a volatile session highlights strong underlying momentum. It outperformed its sector peers, which faced downward pressure, and demonstrated resilience despite closing below the intraday high. The price remains well above key moving averages, signalling sustained medium- and long-term strength, although short-term consolidation was evident.
28 January 2026: Strong Quarterly Results Amid Mixed Signals
On 28 January, Prime Focus Ltd reported a very positive quarterly financial performance for the quarter ended December 2025. The company posted record net sales of ₹1,207.24 crores and operating profit (PBDIT) of ₹394.49 crores, with an operating margin expanding to 32.68%. Profit after tax surged by 243.7% to ₹86.45 crores, marking a significant turnaround from previous quarters.
Return on capital employed (ROCE) improved to 10.23%, and interest coverage rose to 2.97 times, indicating enhanced operational efficiency and financial stability. However, cash and cash equivalents declined to ₹141.42 crores, the lowest in recent periods, signalling a liquidity concern that warrants monitoring.
Despite these strong fundamentals, the stock price showed some short-term volatility, closing at Rs.220.55, up 1.99% on the day. The mixed signals from operational challenges and liquidity constraints tempered enthusiasm, but the overall financial trend was upgraded to very positive, reflecting improved investor confidence.

29 January 2026: Continued Gains on Positive Momentum
The stock continued its upward trajectory on 29 January, closing at Rs.226.80, a gain of 2.83% from the previous day. This rise followed the strong quarterly results and reflected renewed investor interest. Volume remained robust at 303,869 shares, supporting the price advance.
The Sensex also gained modestly by 0.22%, but Prime Focus Ltd outperformed the broader market, reinforcing its relative strength. The stock’s position above its medium- and long-term moving averages remained intact, suggesting sustained momentum despite recent volatility.
30 January 2026: Minor Pullback Amid Market Correction
On the final trading day of the week, Prime Focus Ltd experienced a minor pullback, closing at Rs.224.50, down 1.01%. This decline came amid a broader market correction, with the Sensex falling 0.22%. Trading volume increased to 426,344 shares, indicating active participation despite the price dip.
This slight retreat followed the strong gains earlier in the week and may reflect short-term profit-taking. Nonetheless, the stock ended the week with a solid 3.15% gain, outperforming the Sensex’s 1.62% rise over the same period.
