Strong Start to the Week on 9 and 10 February
RPP Infra Projects Ltd began the week on a positive note, rallying 3.94% to close at Rs.91.62 on 9 Feb 2026, outperforming the Sensex which rose 1.04% to 37,113.23. The following day, the stock extended gains by 2.35% to Rs.93.77, again outpacing the Sensex’s modest 0.25% increase. This early strength suggested initial investor optimism possibly linked to broader market momentum.
Midweek Correction on 11 February
On 11 Feb, the stock retreated slightly by 0.81% to Rs.93.01 despite the Sensex advancing 0.13%. This minor pullback hinted at emerging caution among investors, possibly anticipating upcoming corporate disclosures or reacting to sector-specific developments.
Sharp Declines on 12 and 13 February Amid Negative News
The stock’s fortunes reversed dramatically on 12 Feb, plunging 4.73% to Rs.88.61 as the Sensex declined 0.56%. This marked the beginning of a sustained sell-off that culminated on 13 Feb with a severe 9.59% drop to Rs.80.11, the lowest close of the week and a new 52-week low. The Sensex also fell 1.40% that day but the stock’s decline was markedly steeper, signalling company-specific pressures.
On 13 Feb, RPP Infra Projects Ltd reported a dismal quarterly performance with profits plunging 96%, driven by a heavy tax burden and margin compression. The company’s latest quarterly PAT stood at a mere Rs.0.67 crore, down 95.2% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Additionally, interest expenses surged 36.5% to Rs.11.93 crore for the nine months ended, further eroding profitability.

Technical and Fundamental Weaknesses Amplify Downtrend
The stock’s price has fallen below all key moving averages including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. This technical deterioration contrasts with the broader market’s relative stability, where the Sensex remains only 0.54% lower for the week and is positioned well above its 52-week low.
Fundamentally, RPP Infra Projects Ltd’s long-term Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) averages a weak 9.43%, while the half-year ROCE has declined to 12.75%. Operating profit growth over the past five years has been modest at 15.30% annualised, insufficient to offset rising costs and margin pressures. The company’s one-year stock return of -48.67% starkly contrasts with the Sensex’s positive 8.93% return over the same period, underscoring significant underperformance.
Promoter share pledging remains elevated at 26.77%, which may exacerbate selling pressure as lenders could liquidate pledged shares to meet margin calls, adding to the stock’s downward momentum.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The stock showed early-week resilience with gains on 9 and 10 February, outperforming the Sensex and suggesting initial investor confidence.
Cautionary Signals: The sharp declines on 12 and 13 February, culminating in a 52-week low, were driven by a near-collapse in quarterly profits, rising interest expenses, and high promoter share pledging. The stock’s technical breakdown below all major moving averages and its significant underperformance relative to the Sensex highlight sustained bearish momentum.
The company’s weak ROCE and deteriorating profitability metrics further underscore fundamental challenges. Elevated promoter pledging adds risk of forced selling, which may continue to pressure the stock price.
Conclusion
RPP Infra Projects Ltd’s 9.12% weekly decline, far exceeding the Sensex’s 0.54% fall, reflects a confluence of adverse factors including disappointing quarterly results, rising financial costs, and technical weakness. The stock’s fall to a new 52-week low signals ongoing challenges in reversing the downtrend. While early-week gains hinted at some optimism, the subsequent sharp sell-off and deteriorating fundamentals have overshadowed any positive momentum. Investors should note the significant underperformance relative to the broader market and sector, as well as the risks posed by high promoter share pledging.
