SPIC began the week at Rs.81.15, down 0.34% from the previous close, mirroring the Sensex’s 0.41% decline to 37,140.23. Trading volume was moderate at 31,177 shares. The initial weakness reflected cautious investor sentiment as the broader market faced selling pressure. Despite this, SPIC’s price remained above key support levels, setting the stage for a recovery in subsequent sessions.
30 December 2025: Modest Recovery as Market Stabilises
The stock rebounded to Rs.81.68, gaining 0.65% on increased volume of 36,921 shares, while the Sensex remained nearly flat, down 0.01%. This modest recovery suggested renewed buying interest, possibly in anticipation of upcoming corporate developments. SPIC’s relative outperformance against the Sensex indicated underlying strength despite the cautious market environment.
31 December 2025: Rating Upgrade Spurs Strong Rally
SPIC surged 2.90% to close at Rs.84.05 on heavy volume of 147,518 shares, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.83% gain. This rally coincided with MarketsMOJO’s upgrade of SPIC’s investment rating from 'Sell' to 'Hold' on 31 December 2025. The upgrade was driven by improving technical indicators, solid financial performance, and attractive valuation metrics. Key technical signals showed a transition from bearish to mildly bearish momentum, while valuation remained compelling with a Price to Book Value of 1.3 and a Return on Equity of 14.3%. The company’s robust sales growth of 43.54% over nine months and strong debt servicing ratios underpinned investor confidence.

1 January 2026: Mixed Technical Signals Temper Gains
On the first trading day of 2026, SPIC retreated slightly to Rs.83.42, down 0.75% on low volume of 8,650 shares, while the Sensex rose 0.14%. This dip reflected mixed technical momentum as the stock transitioned from mildly bearish to bearish trends in some indicators. The weekly MACD remained bearish, daily moving averages were negative, and Bollinger Bands suggested mild downward pressure. However, longer-term indicators such as monthly KST and Dow Theory readings showed cautious optimism. The neutral RSI readings indicated equilibrium, with no clear overbought or oversold conditions. This complex technical landscape suggested consolidation following the prior day’s rally.
2 January 2026: Recovery Amid Consolidation and Mixed Market Signals
SPIC closed the week at Rs.84.00, up 0.70% on volume of 16,342 shares, outperforming the Sensex’s 0.81% gain. Despite a slight intraday dip to Rs.83.45, the stock demonstrated resilience amid a technical momentum shift back towards bearishness on weekly charts. The monthly MACD remained mildly bearish, while the weekly OBV was also bearish, indicating subdued volume support for rallies. Nonetheless, the monthly KST and weekly Dow Theory readings suggested potential underlying strength. The stock’s price action reflected a consolidation phase within a volatile fertiliser sector influenced by commodity price fluctuations and policy uncertainties.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: The upgrade to a Hold rating by MarketsMOJO on 31 December 2025 was a pivotal event, reflecting improved technical indicators and strong financial fundamentals. SPIC’s 3.16% weekly gain outpaced the Sensex’s 1.35%, underscoring relative strength. Robust sales growth of 43.54% over nine months and efficient debt servicing ratios highlight operational resilience. Long-term returns remain impressive, with five- and ten-year gains exceeding 240%, well above benchmark indices.
Cautionary Notes: Technical momentum remains mixed, with short-term indicators such as daily moving averages and weekly MACD still bearish. The stock’s recent three-year underperformance relative to the Sensex signals sector-specific or cyclical challenges. Volume trends suggest limited conviction behind rallies, and institutional investor participation has slightly declined. These factors counsel a cautious stance despite improving fundamentals.
Conclusion: A Week of Gradual Recovery and Technical Transition
Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation Ltd demonstrated a measured recovery during the week ending 2 January 2026, supported by a significant rating upgrade and improving financial metrics. While the stock outperformed the broader market, technical indicators present a nuanced picture with both bullish and bearish signals. The company’s solid sales growth, attractive valuation, and stable debt profile provide a foundation for cautious optimism. However, investors should remain attentive to evolving technical trends and sector dynamics as SPIC navigates a transitional phase in its price momentum.
