Comparison with Sector and Market Performance
Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd operates within the Auto Components & Equipments industry, a sector that saw a 3.85% gain on the day. The stock’s 7.32% rise outpaced the sector by 3.45 percentage points, underscoring its relative strength. In contrast, the broader Sensex index, despite opening with a substantial gap-up of 3,656.74 points, lost momentum and ended the day down by 1,584.07 points, trading at 83,739.13, a 2.54% decline.
The Sensex remains 2.89% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, with the index trading below its 50-day moving average, although the 50-day average itself is positioned above the 200-day moving average, indicating mixed technical signals for the broader market.
Technical Indicators and Moving Averages
From a technical perspective, Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd’s current price is above its 5-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, signalling short- and long-term support levels. However, it remains below its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, suggesting some resistance in the medium term. This positioning indicates that while the stock has shown recent strength, it is still navigating key technical thresholds.
The stock’s market capitalisation grade stands at 3, reflecting its mid-tier market cap status within its industry. The company’s Mojo Score is 60.0, with a Mojo Grade of Hold, upgraded from Sell on 3 November 2025, indicating a moderate outlook based on MarketsMOJO’s proprietary evaluation metrics.

Performance Trends Over Various Timeframes
Examining Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd’s performance over multiple time horizons reveals a mixed picture. The stock has outperformed the Sensex over the past week and three months, with returns of 6.24% and 6.99% respectively, compared to the Sensex’s 2.30% and -0.29% in the same periods. However, over the last month, the stock declined by 13.33%, significantly underperforming the Sensex’s -2.36% drop.
Longer-term returns show no change over one, three, five, and ten-year periods, contrasting with the Sensex’s substantial gains of 8.49% over one year, 37.63% over three years, 66.63% over five years, and 245.70% over ten years. This indicates that while the stock has shown recent bursts of strength, it has not delivered sustained long-term growth in line with the broader market.
Sector and Market Context
The Auto Components & Equipments sector, to which Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd belongs, has been relatively resilient, gaining 3.85% on the day. This sector outperformance contrasts with the broader market’s retreat, where the Sensex lost momentum after a strong opening. Mega-cap stocks led the market gains, while mid and small caps showed varied performances.
Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd’s ability to outperform both its sector and the Sensex on a day when the broader market faltered highlights its relative strength and active trading interest.

Summary of Trading Activity and Market Position
Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd’s strong intraday performance on 3 February 2026 was characterised by a significant gap-up opening and sustained buying pressure that pushed the stock to a 9.26% intraday high. The stock’s 7.32% day gain was well above the Sensex’s 2.54% decline, reflecting its outperformance amid a volatile market backdrop.
