2 February 2026: Valuation Upgrade Sparks Initial Recovery
On Monday, 2 February, Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd’s valuation parameters shifted notably from expensive to fair, signalling improved price attractiveness. The stock opened the week at Rs.485.35, down 0.83% from the previous close of Rs.489.40, reflecting some initial profit-taking despite the positive valuation news.
The recalibration of key metrics such as the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio at 15.74 and price-to-book value (P/BV) at 2.39 positioned the stock more favourably relative to its ferrous metals peers. This valuation shift was accompanied by a downgrade in the Mojo Score to 48.0 and a Sell rating, indicating a cautious market reassessment despite the more balanced multiples.
The Sensex declined 1.03% on the same day, closing at 35,814.09, meaning Sarda Energy outperformed the benchmark by 0.20 percentage points despite the stock’s slight dip. The company’s robust return on capital employed (ROCE) of 19.30% and return on equity (ROE) of 15.19% underpin the fair valuation stance, suggesting operational efficiency amid sector cyclicality.

3 February 2026: Strong Rebound with Sensex Rally
On Tuesday, the stock rebounded sharply, closing at Rs.504.15, a gain of 3.87% on the day. This surge outpaced the Sensex’s 2.63% rise to 36,755.96, reflecting renewed investor interest following the valuation update and improving market conditions.
Volume more than doubled to 25,824 shares, indicating heightened trading activity. The stock’s recovery was supported by the broader market rally, but its outperformance highlighted specific optimism around its fair valuation and growth prospects within the ferrous metals sector.
4 February 2026: Mixed Technical Signals Amid Price Momentum Shift
On Wednesday, Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd continued its upward trajectory, closing at Rs.521.05, up 3.35% from the previous day. The stock traded within a range of Rs.489.05 to Rs.508.35 intraday, demonstrating volatility but ultimately closing near the session’s highs.
Despite the strong price momentum, technical indicators painted a nuanced picture. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remained bearish on the weekly timeframe but improved to mildly bearish on the monthly chart, signalling tentative easing of selling pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovered in neutral territory, offering no clear momentum bias.
Bollinger Bands showed divergence between mildly bearish weekly readings and bullish monthly signals, underscoring technical uncertainty. Daily moving averages were mildly bearish, with the stock price close to key averages but not decisively breaking above them. The Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator and Dow Theory analysis echoed this cautious tone, suggesting a tentative recovery rather than a confirmed uptrend.
Volume remained elevated at 24,083 shares, supporting the price gains but also reflecting the mixed technical backdrop. The Sensex gained a modest 0.37% to 36,890.21, meaning Sarda Energy outperformed again, reinforcing its relative strength amid sector volatility.
5 February 2026: Moderate Gains Amid Market Pullback
On Thursday, the stock advanced by 1.50% to close at Rs.528.85, its highest level for the week. This gain came despite the Sensex retreating 0.53% to 36,695.11, highlighting the stock’s resilience amid broader market weakness.
Trading volume increased to 28,605 shares, the highest for the week, indicating strong investor interest. The technical indicators remained mixed but showed signs of stabilisation, with the stock maintaining its position near key moving averages. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) was mildly bullish on the weekly chart, suggesting short-term accumulation despite lingering monthly bearishness.

6 February 2026: Week Closes Near Highs with Marginal Gain
On Friday, the stock closed marginally higher by 0.02% at Rs.528.95, effectively consolidating its weekly gains. The Sensex edged up 0.10% to 36,730.20, but Sarda Energy’s outperformance over the week remained pronounced at +8.08% versus +1.51% for the benchmark.
Volume tapered to 10,654 shares, reflecting typical end-of-week trading patterns. The stock’s ability to hold near its weekly high despite lower volume suggests underlying support at current levels. Technical indicators continued to signal a cautiously optimistic outlook, with no clear overbought or oversold conditions.

Key Takeaways
Valuation Improvement: The shift from expensive to fair valuation, supported by a P/E of 15.74 and P/BV of 2.39, enhanced the stock’s attractiveness relative to peers. The low PEG ratio of 0.21 further signals undervaluation relative to growth potential.
Technical Ambiguity: Mixed technical signals characterised the week, with bearish weekly MACD and mildly bearish monthly indicators contrasting with neutral RSI and bullish monthly Bollinger Bands. This suggests cautious optimism but no clear momentum confirmation.
Strong Weekly Outperformance: The stock’s 8.08% weekly gain significantly outpaced the Sensex’s 1.51%, reflecting resilience amid sector volatility and broader market fluctuations.
Volume Trends: Elevated volumes on key up days indicated genuine buying interest, while tapering volumes towards week-end suggested consolidation near resistance levels.
Sector Context: Operating in the cyclical ferrous metals industry, Sarda Energy’s improved valuation and operational metrics provide a balanced risk profile compared to more volatile peers.
Conclusion
Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd’s week was defined by a significant valuation recalibration and a strong price rally that outperformed the broader market. While the fundamental shift to a fair valuation grade offers a more compelling entry point, the mixed technical signals advise caution. Investors should monitor the stock’s price action closely, as the current technical landscape suggests a tentative recovery phase rather than a confirmed uptrend. The company’s solid return metrics and reasonable valuation relative to peers provide a foundation for potential stability amid sector cyclicality. Overall, the stock’s 8.08% weekly gain reflects a positive market reassessment, tempered by the need for vigilance given ongoing technical uncertainties.
