The stock has been on a losing streak for two consecutive days, accumulating a 7.55% loss over this period.

Sector and Market Context
The broader IT - Software & Consulting sector has faced pressure, with a decline of 4.98% on the day, reflecting a challenging environment for technology stocks. Sonata Software’s underperformance relative to its sector by 1.54% highlights additional company-specific pressures beyond the general market sentiment.

Despite this setback, the Sensex remains within 2.94% of its 52-week high of 86,159.02, and has recorded a 2.65% gain over the past three weeks.

Technical Indicators and Market Sentiment
Sonata Software’s current trading below all major moving averages signals a bearish technical stance.

Despite this upgrade, the stock’s Market Cap Grade remains at 3, reflecting moderate market capitalisation metrics.
The stock’s underperformance relative to both the sector and the benchmark index suggests that immediate price pressures are compounded by broader market sentiment and sectoral weakness. The IT - Software sector’s decline of nearly 5% on the day indicates a challenging environment for technology stocks, which has weighed on Sonata Software’s share price.

Summary of Market Pressures
The combination of a weakening IT sector, broader market declines, and Sonata Software’s technical positioning has contributed to the stock’s intraday low and overall negative price action. The stock’s proximity to its 52-week low underscores the sustained pressure it faces in the current market environment.
While the Sensex has shown resilience with a three-week consecutive rise, the current session’s decline and Sonata Software’s sharper fall highlight the uneven distribution of market gains and losses. The stock’s performance metrics across multiple time horizons indicate that it has been under pressure relative to the benchmark, reflecting a cautious market stance towards this particular software and consulting company.
Conclusion
Sonata Software Ltd.’s intraday low of Rs 293.85 on 12 Feb 2026 reflects a confluence of price pressures stemming from sectoral weakness and broader market headwinds. The stock’s technical indicators and recent performance trends point to continued challenges in regaining upward momentum. Investors and market participants will be closely monitoring the stock’s movement relative to key support levels and sector performance in the coming sessions.
