29 December 2025: Technical Momentum Turns Bearish
Quess Corp began the week under pressure, closing at Rs.210.20, down 0.97% from the previous close. This decline coincided with a notable shift in technical momentum from mildly bearish to outright bearish, as key indicators such as the MACD and moving averages signalled increased selling pressure. The stock traded near its 52-week low of Rs.198.00, highlighting persistent downward trends despite some short-term bullish RSI signals. The Sensex also declined by 0.41% on the day, closing at 37,140.23, reflecting broader market weakness.
30 December 2025: Downgrade to Sell Amid Technical and Growth Concerns
The following day, Quess Corp was downgraded by MarketsMOJO from a Hold to a Sell rating, driven primarily by deteriorating technical indicators and subdued long-term growth prospects. Despite recent quarterly financial improvements, including a 20.45% rise in PAT for the nine months ended September 2025 and a strong ROCE of 21.09%, the company’s operating profit has declined at an annualised rate of -8.88% over five years. The downgrade was reflected in the stock’s modest gain of 0.33% to Rs.210.90, while the Sensex remained nearly flat, down 0.01% at 37,135.83.

31 December 2025: Stock Dips Amid Sensex Gains
On the last trading day of 2025, Quess Corp’s share price fell sharply by 2.49% to Rs.205.65, marking the week’s lowest close. This decline occurred despite the Sensex rallying 0.83% to 37,443.41, underscoring the stock’s continued underperformance relative to the broader market. The technical indicators remained bearish, with the MACD and KST signalling sustained downward momentum. The stock’s valuation metrics, including a P/B ratio of 2.8 and a PEG ratio of 0.2, suggest some undervaluation, but the persistent profit decline of 3.5% over the past year weighed on sentiment.
1 January 2026: Early Recovery Supported by Technical Bounce
Quess Corp rebounded on the first trading day of 2026, closing at Rs.208.60, up 1.43%. This recovery was supported by a weekly RSI indicating short-term buying interest and mildly bullish On-Balance Volume readings, suggesting some accumulation despite the bearish trend. The Sensex also advanced modestly by 0.14% to 37,497.10, providing a more favourable market backdrop. However, the stock remained below key moving averages, indicating that the overall technical picture was still cautious.
2 January 2026: Week Closes Strong with 2.83% Gain
The week concluded with Quess Corp gaining 2.83% to close at Rs.214.50, its highest level since the start of the week. This strong finish contrasted with the Sensex’s 0.81% rise to 37,799.57, reflecting a partial catch-up by the stock after earlier weakness. The improved volume of 8,855 shares traded on the day indicated renewed investor interest. Despite this, the stock’s overall weekly performance remained below the Sensex’s 1.35% gain, highlighting ongoing challenges in regaining sustained upward momentum.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Quess Corp demonstrated resilience with a 1.06% weekly gain and a strong finish on 2 Jan 2026. Recent quarterly financials showed robust PAT growth of 20.45% and an impressive ROCE of 21.09%, supported by low leverage (Debt to Equity of 0.09). The stock’s valuation remains attractive with a P/B ratio of 2.8 and a high dividend yield of 4.7%, offering income appeal amid volatility.
Cautionary Signals: The downgrade to a Sell rating reflects deteriorating technical momentum, with bearish MACD, moving averages, and KST indicators dominating. The stock’s long-term growth trajectory is negative, with operating profit declining at an annualised rate of -8.88% over five years and a 37.69% loss over the past year. Underperformance relative to the Sensex and BSE500 benchmarks continues to weigh on sentiment.
Conclusion
Quess Corp Ltd’s week was characterised by mixed momentum, with short-term technical weakness and a downgrade to Sell contrasting against pockets of fundamental strength and a modest weekly price gain. While the stock showed signs of recovery towards the week’s close, it remains below key technical thresholds and continues to lag the broader market. Investors should weigh the company’s attractive valuation and recent earnings growth against the prevailing bearish technical signals and subdued long-term growth outlook. The cautious stance reflected in the MarketsMOJO rating underscores the need for careful monitoring of trend developments before considering increased exposure.
