The stock closed at Rs.155.05, down 5.80% from the previous day’s close but still maintaining a substantial weekly gain. The session saw mixed technical signals, with weekly indicators turning mildly bullish while some daily averages remained cautious.
MarketsMOJO upgraded the stock’s rating from 'Sell' to 'Hold' on 29 January 2026, citing improved technical indicators such as bullish MACD on weekly and monthly charts, positive Bollinger Bands, and strong On-Balance Volume trends. The upgrade was also supported by the company’s robust quarterly financial performance, including record net sales of Rs.4,475.71 crores and a 415.8% surge in profit before tax excluding other income. Net profit after tax reached Rs.106.01 crores, the highest in recent quarters.
Despite the upgrade, the company’s long-term fundamentals remain mixed, with moderate ROCE of 8.53% over five years and elevated debt levels (Debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.71). Institutional investor participation declined by 1.61% in the previous quarter, signalling some caution among large shareholders. Nonetheless, the stock’s recent outperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers highlights renewed investor interest.
