Key Events This Week
2 Feb: Downgrade to Sell rating announced
6 Feb: Q2 FY26 results reveal profit swing on revenue surge
6 Feb: Stock closes at Rs.203.95, down 4.98% on the day
Monday, 2 February 2026: Downgrade Sparks Early Weakness
Shricon Industries opened the week under pressure, closing at Rs.219.00, down 1.79% from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.223.00. This decline coincided with MarketsMOJO’s downgrade of the stock from 'Hold' to 'Sell' due to stretched valuation and mixed technical signals. The downgrade highlighted concerns over the company’s elevated Price to Book Value of 5.7 and a high PEG ratio of 12.7, despite solid fundamentals such as a 21.14% average Return on Equity and recent quarterly profit improvements.
The downgrade also reflected a shift in technical outlook from bullish to mildly bullish, with indicators like MACD and KST showing mixed signals and a lack of clear momentum. The stock’s underperformance on this day contrasted with the Sensex’s 1.03% decline, indicating that Shricon was more sensitive to the negative rating revision.
Tuesday, 3 February 2026: Price Stabilises Amid Market Rally
On 3 February, Shricon Industries’ stock price remained flat at Rs.219.00, showing no change from the previous day’s close. Meanwhile, the Sensex surged 2.63%, closing at 36,755.96. This divergence suggested that while the broader market was buoyant, Shricon’s shares were consolidating amid lingering investor caution following the downgrade. The lack of upward movement despite a strong market rally underscored the prevailing uncertainty around the stock’s near-term prospects.
Wednesday, 4 February 2026: Renewed Selling Pressure
The stock declined again on 4 February, closing at Rs.214.65, down 1.99% on the day. This drop occurred despite the Sensex advancing 0.37% to 36,890.21, further emphasising Shricon’s relative weakness. The decline reflected ongoing concerns about the company’s valuation premium and the technical indicators that had softened earlier in the week. Investors appeared to be pricing in the risks highlighted by the downgrade, particularly given the stock’s recent deceleration in profit growth to 2% annually.

Thursday, 5 February 2026: Price Holds Steady Amid Market Dip
Shricon Industries’ stock price remained unchanged at Rs.214.65, while the Sensex declined 0.53% to 36,695.11. The flat price action suggested a temporary pause in selling pressure as investors awaited further developments. The broader market’s slight pullback did not significantly impact the stock, which appeared to be consolidating near its recent lows. This stability came ahead of the company’s quarterly results announcement scheduled for the following day.
Friday, 6 February 2026: Profit Swing Fails to Halt Sharp Decline
The week concluded with a sharp 4.98% drop in Shricon Industries’ stock price to Rs.203.95, marking the lowest close of the week. This decline came despite the company reporting a swing to profit in Q2 FY26, driven by a surge in revenue. The positive earnings update was overshadowed by the earlier downgrade and the stock’s stretched valuation, which continued to weigh on investor sentiment.
The Sensex closed marginally higher by 0.10% at 36,730.20, highlighting the stock’s underperformance relative to the broader market. The volatility and negative price action on the final trading day underscored the cautious stance investors have adopted amid mixed fundamental and technical signals.

Key Takeaways
Valuation Concerns Dominate: Despite strong long-term fundamentals and a respectable Return on Equity of 21.14%, Shricon Industries’ elevated Price to Book Value of 5.7 and PEG ratio of 12.7 have raised valuation concerns, contributing to the downgrade and price weakness.
Technical Indicators Weaken: The shift from bullish to mildly bullish technical signals, with mixed MACD and KST readings and indecisive RSI, has dampened momentum and investor confidence.
Profit Swing Provides Mixed Signals: The Q2 FY26 results showed a positive swing to profit on revenue growth, yet this was insufficient to offset the negative sentiment from the downgrade and stretched valuation, resulting in further price declines.
Underperformance vs Sensex: The stock’s 8.54% weekly decline contrasted sharply with the Sensex’s 1.51% gain, highlighting relative weakness and investor caution.
