Feb 23: Rating Upgrade Sparks Mild Technical Optimism
On 23 February 2026, Sangam Finserv’s rating was upgraded by MarketsMOJO from 'Strong Sell' to 'Sell', reflecting a nuanced improvement in technical indicators despite ongoing valuation and financial challenges. The stock closed at Rs.38.08, down 1.40% from the previous close of Rs.38.62, amid a volatile trading range between Rs.37.06 and Rs.43.50. This downgrade in price contrasted with a positive shift in technical momentum, including a bullish weekly MACD and KST indicators, signalling tentative market optimism.
However, the valuation remained expensive with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 30.97 and price-to-book (P/B) of 1.28, while profitability metrics such as ROCE (8.26%) and ROE (4.12%) stayed subdued. The company’s financial performance showed contraction in net sales and profits, tempering enthusiasm despite the technical upgrade.
Feb 24: Strong Rally Amid Market Weakness
Following the rating upgrade, Sangam Finserv surged 4.83% to close at Rs.39.92 on 24 February, outperforming the Sensex which declined 0.78% that day. The rally was supported by bullish daily moving averages and short-term momentum indicators, reflecting increased buying interest despite broader market weakness. However, trading volume was relatively low at 703 shares, suggesting cautious participation.

Feb 25: Valuation Shifts to Very Expensive Amid Rally
The stock continued its upward trajectory on 25 February, closing at Rs.40.70, up 1.95% on the day. This price appreciation pushed Sangam Finserv’s valuation metrics higher, with the P/E ratio rising to 32.54 and the price-to-book value increasing to 1.34. Consequently, the valuation grade was upgraded from 'Expensive' to 'Very Expensive'.
Despite the premium multiples, the company’s return on capital employed and equity remained modest at 8.26% and 4.12% respectively. The elevated enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 19.51 further highlighted the market’s willingness to pay a premium, possibly anticipating operational improvements or strategic initiatives. However, the PEG ratio remained at zero, indicating no growth premium factored into the valuation.
Comparatively, Sangam Finserv’s valuation is high but not the most extreme within the NBFC sector, with peers like Ashika Credit and Mufin Green trading at significantly higher multiples. The stock’s year-to-date gain of 38.65% contrasts with the Sensex’s 3.51% decline, underscoring strong relative performance in recent months.
Feb 26-27: Price Stabilises Amid Market Volatility
In the final two trading sessions, Sangam Finserv’s price stabilised at Rs.40.00, with a slight decline of 1.72% on 26 February and no change on 27 February. This stability came despite the Sensex experiencing a 1.16% drop on the last day of the week, reflecting relative resilience in the stock. Trading volumes varied, with a notable increase to 1,895 shares on 26 February before falling sharply to 103 shares on 27 February, indicating reduced market activity.
The stock’s weekly performance of +3.57% significantly outpaced the Sensex’s -0.96%, highlighting its relative strength amid broader market weakness. However, the underlying financial challenges and expensive valuation suggest that this outperformance is driven more by technical factors and market sentiment than fundamental improvements.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The upgrade from 'Strong Sell' to 'Sell' and the mild bullish technical indicators suggest improving market sentiment. The stock’s outperformance relative to the Sensex (+3.57% vs -0.96%) highlights resilience amid broader market weakness. The recent rally and valuation upgrade reflect investor confidence in potential operational improvements.
Cautionary Signals: Despite technical optimism, Sangam Finserv’s valuation remains elevated, with a P/E ratio rising to 32.54 and a 'Very Expensive' rating. Financial metrics such as ROCE and ROE remain subdued, and recent quarterly results show declining sales and profits. The PEG ratio at zero indicates no growth premium, raising concerns about sustainability of the rally. Trading volumes were inconsistent, suggesting cautious investor participation.
Conclusion
Sangam Finserv Ltd’s week was characterised by a complex interplay of technical improvement and fundamental caution. The rating upgrade and strong midweek rally propelled the stock to outperform the Sensex, while valuation metrics shifted to a very expensive level. Although the technical indicators signal a tentative bullish momentum, the company’s modest profitability and declining financial trends warrant a cautious approach. Investors should monitor upcoming quarterly results and valuation trends closely to assess whether the current price levels are justified by operational performance.
