31 December 2025: Upgrade to Hold Spurs 1.69% Rally
The most significant event of the week occurred on 31 December, when MarketsMOJO upgraded Schaeffler India Ltd’s rating from 'Sell' to 'Hold' following improvements in technical indicators and financial performance. The stock responded positively, surging 1.69% to close at Rs.3,885.25, its weekly high. This upgrade was supported by a rise in the Mojo Score to 64.0, reflecting a more balanced outlook amid strong quarterly results.
Financially, the company reported its highest quarterly net sales of ₹2,434.65 crores and a PAT of ₹289.26 crores in Q2 FY25-26, underscoring operational strength. The firm’s return on equity stood at a robust 18.67%, with zero debt-to-equity ratio, signalling low financial risk. Despite a relatively high price-to-book ratio of 11.2 and a PEG ratio of 3.5, the stock’s valuation remains reasonable within its auto components sector peer group.
Technically, the upgrade reflected a shift from mildly bearish to mildly bullish signals, with daily moving averages turning positive and weekly On-Balance Volume indicating accumulation. However, some indicators such as MACD and Bollinger Bands presented mixed signals, suggesting cautious optimism rather than a full bullish confirmation.
1 January 2026: Technical Momentum Shift Amid Slight Price Dip
On the first trading day of 2026, Schaeffler India exhibited a slight decline of 0.59%, closing at Rs.3,862.30. This dip followed the strong rally on 31 December but coincided with a continued rise in the Sensex by 0.14% to 37,497.10. The day’s trading volume was 625 shares, indicating moderate activity.
Despite the price pullback, technical analysis revealed a notable momentum shift. The stock’s daily moving averages remained mildly bullish, and the weekly On-Balance Volume continued to suggest accumulation. Mixed signals from MACD and Bollinger Bands indicated some short-term volatility, but the overall trend was cautiously positive. The stock traded within a range of Rs.3,852.20 to Rs.3,907.35, maintaining proximity to recent highs and well above its 52-week low of Rs.2,836.55.
2 January 2026: Recovery and Positive Close to the Week
Schaeffler India closed the week on a positive note, gaining 0.25% to Rs.3,872.00. The Sensex outperformed with a 0.81% rise to 37,799.57, but the stock’s weekly gain of 1.71% still outpaced the benchmark’s 1.35% increase. Trading volume was lighter at 324 shares, reflecting a quieter session.
The stock’s technical momentum remained mildly bullish, supported by daily moving averages and a neutral RSI, which suggested room for further upward movement without immediate overbought risk. The company’s strong historical returns—14.7% year-to-date and 329.16% over five years—continue to underscore its resilience and growth potential within the auto components sector.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: Schaeffler India’s upgrade to a Hold rating was supported by improved technical indicators and strong quarterly financials, including record net sales and PAT. The stock outperformed the Sensex with a weekly gain of 1.71% versus the benchmark’s 1.35%. Technical momentum shifted from mildly bearish to mildly bullish, with daily moving averages and weekly On-Balance Volume indicating accumulation. The company’s robust return on equity of 18.67% and zero leverage highlight operational efficiency and low financial risk.
Cautionary Notes: Despite positive momentum, some technical indicators such as MACD and KST remain mildly bearish on longer time frames, suggesting that the bullish trend is not yet fully confirmed. The stock’s valuation remains elevated with a price-to-book ratio of 11.2 and PEG ratio of 3.5, which may limit near-term upside. Trading volumes were relatively low throughout the week, indicating cautious investor participation. The auto components sector’s cyclical nature also warrants monitoring for potential volatility.
Conclusion
Schaeffler India Ltd’s performance in the week ending 2 January 2026 reflected a balanced outlook shaped by improving technical momentum and solid financial fundamentals. The upgrade to a Hold rating by MarketsMOJO encapsulates this nuanced view, recognising the company’s operational strength and cautious optimism in price action. While valuation metrics suggest the stock is fairly priced with limited immediate upside, the shift towards a mildly bullish technical stance and consistent profitability provide a stable foundation for investors. As the stock enters 2026, monitoring key technical levels and sector dynamics will be essential to gauge the sustainability of this positive trend.
