2 February: Stock Hits 52-Week Low Amid Broader Market Weakness
On 2 February 2026, SJVN Ltd. recorded a significant intraday low of Rs.68.17, marking its lowest price in the past year. The stock closed at Rs.70.59, down 2.65% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which declined 1.03%. This drop was part of a two-day downward trend, with the stock losing 5.2% cumulatively over this period. The decline was driven by persistent financial challenges, including a 30.2% fall in quarterly net profit and a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.40 times, signalling elevated leverage concerns. Technical indicators showed the stock trading below all major moving averages, reinforcing the bearish outlook.
3 February: Strong Gap Up Reflects Temporary Positive Sentiment
SJVN Ltd. opened sharply higher on 3 February with a 4.65% gap up from the previous close, reaching an intraday high of Rs.73.87. The stock closed at Rs.72.14, up 2.20% for the day, though it still lagged behind the Sensex’s 2.63% gain and the Power sector’s 3.31% advance. This gap up followed the prior day’s lows and suggested a short-term reversal in sentiment. However, the stock remained below all key moving averages and continued to exhibit bearish technical signals such as negative MACD and Bollinger Bands trends. The elevated beta of 1.37 indicated heightened volatility, consistent with the sharp price swings observed.

The stock extended its recovery on 4 February, closing at Rs.73.98, a 2.55% gain on the day. This marked the week’s highest close, yet the stock still underperformed the Sensex’s modest 0.37% rise. Despite the positive price movement, technical indicators remained bearish, with the stock trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The company’s recent financial results and downgraded Mojo Score of 21.0 (Strong Sell) continued to weigh on investor confidence.
5 February: Sharp Decline Amid Renewed Selling Pressure
On 5 February, SJVN Ltd. reversed course sharply, falling 2.41% to close at Rs.72.20. This decline contrasted with the Sensex’s 0.53% drop, indicating relative weakness. The day’s volume was lower than earlier in the week, suggesting cautious trading. The stock’s inability to sustain gains from the previous two days highlighted ongoing bearish momentum and the risk of further downside given the company’s financial and operational challenges.

6 February: Slight Recovery Closes Week on a Mixed Note

Despite this slight recovery, the stock ended the week down 0.32% from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.72.51, underperforming the Sensex’s 1.51% weekly advance. The persistent challenges in profitability, high leverage, and bearish technical indicators continue to cloud the stock’s near-term outlook.
