09 February 2026: Flat Start Amid Positive Market Momentum
Shree Krishna Paper Mills began the week steady at Rs.94.43, unchanged from the previous Friday’s close.

The stock’s low volume of 172 shares traded suggested limited investor activity ahead of anticipated news.
10 February 2026: Upgrade to Hold Spurs 5% Jump
The stock surged 5.00% to Rs.99.15 on robust volume of 7,809 shares following MarketsMOJO’s upgrade of Shree Krishna Paper Mills from Sell to Hold. The upgrade was driven by improved valuation metrics, with the company’s price-to-earnings (PE) ratio easing to 46.43 and a stabilising financial trend highlighted by a 12.59% rise in net sales to Rs.62.25 crores in Q2 FY25-26. This positive sentiment was reflected in the stock outperforming the Sensex’s modest 0.25% gain that day.
11 February 2026: Continued Gains Amid Positive Financial Momentum
On 11 February, the stock extended gains by 4.99% to close at Rs.104.10, supported by continued confidence in the company’s quarterly results and valuation improvements. The Sensex advanced 0.13% to 37,256.72, but Shree Krishna Paper Mills outpaced the benchmark significantly. Despite the strong short-term performance, the stock remained below its 52-week high of Rs.135.20, indicating room for further recovery.

12 February 2026: Downgrade to Sell Amid Valuation Concerns
Despite the recent rally, MarketsMOJO downgraded Shree Krishna Paper Mills from Hold back to Sell on 11 February, citing a sharp deterioration in valuation metrics. The PE ratio climbed to 51.19, pushing the valuation grade to 'Very Expensive'. The company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained elevated at 4.21 times, and promoter share pledging was high at 84.38%, raising concerns about financial leverage and downside risk. The stock nevertheless closed higher by 3.13% at Rs.107.36, outperforming the Sensex which fell 0.56% that day.
13 February 2026: Strong Finish Despite Market Weakness
On the final trading day of the week, Shree Krishna Paper Mills gained 3.73% to close at Rs.111.36, marking a 17.93% weekly gain. This strong finish contrasted with the Sensex’s 1.40% decline to 36,532.48, underscoring the stock’s resilience amid broader market weakness. The volume of 1,931 shares traded was moderate, reflecting steady investor interest despite the downgrade. The stock’s 52-week range of Rs.29.70 to Rs.135.20 highlights its significant appreciation over the past year, though recent volatility remains a factor.

Key Takeaways: Strong Gains Amid Mixed Fundamentals
Shree Krishna Paper Mills demonstrated exceptional price appreciation of 17.93% over the week, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.54% decline. The stock’s rally was initially fuelled by an upgrade to Hold, reflecting improved valuation and consistent quarterly financial growth, including a 12.59% increase in net sales and a 233.5% surge in profits year-on-year.
However, the subsequent downgrade to Sell highlighted persistent concerns over stretched valuation multiples, with the PE ratio rising to 51.19 and the valuation grade shifting to 'Very Expensive'. Elevated financial leverage, indicated by a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.21, and high promoter share pledging at 84.38% add layers of risk, particularly in volatile market conditions.
Technically, the stock’s strong long-term returns—150.7% over one year and over 1,200% in ten years—contrast with recent short-term volatility and a year-to-date decline of 22.31%. This dichotomy suggests that while the company has demonstrated operational resilience, investors remain cautious about sustainability at current price levels.

Conclusion: A Week of Contrasting Signals and Elevated Risks
The week for Shree Krishna Paper Mills was defined by a sharp rally of 17.93% amid a volatile rating environment. The initial upgrade to Hold recognised improving financials and valuation metrics, but the swift downgrade to Sell underscored concerns about stretched price multiples and financial leverage risks. While the company’s strong quarterly results and long-term stock performance provide a foundation for cautious optimism, the elevated PE ratio of 51.19 and high promoter share pledging at 84.38% introduce significant risk factors.
Investors should weigh the impressive price gains against these fundamental and valuation challenges. The stock’s outperformance relative to the Sensex this week highlights its resilience, yet the downgrade signals that caution remains warranted. Monitoring upcoming quarterly results and sector developments will be crucial to reassessing the stock’s outlook in the context of evolving market conditions.
