Technical Momentum Shift and Indicator Analysis
Over the past weeks, Speciality Restaurants Ltd has seen its technical trend worsen, with the weekly and monthly MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) firmly entrenched in bearish territory. The MACD, a momentum oscillator that measures the relationship between two moving averages, indicates that the stock’s short-term momentum is weakening relative to its longer-term trend. Both weekly and monthly MACD readings confirm sustained selling pressure, suggesting that the bears are currently in control.
Complementing this, the daily moving averages have turned bearish, reinforcing the downtrend. The stock’s current price of ₹113.15 is below key moving averages, signalling that short-term momentum is faltering. Bollinger Bands on both weekly and monthly charts also reflect a mildly bearish stance, with the price gravitating towards the lower band, indicating increased volatility and potential downside risk.
Interestingly, the KST (Know Sure Thing) indicator presents a mixed picture: weekly readings are bearish, but the monthly KST remains mildly bullish. This divergence suggests that while short-term momentum is weak, there may be some underlying longer-term strength or consolidation underway. However, this is not sufficient to offset the prevailing negative signals from other indicators.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on both weekly and monthly timeframes currently shows no clear signal, hovering in a neutral zone. This lack of momentum confirmation from RSI implies that the stock is neither oversold nor overbought, leaving room for further downside or sideways movement.

Volume and Trend Confirmation
On-Balance Volume (OBV) analysis reveals a mildly bearish trend on the weekly chart, indicating that volume is not supporting any bullish price moves. The monthly OBV shows no clear trend, which suggests a lack of conviction among traders over the longer term. This volume pattern aligns with the broader technical deterioration and hints at cautious investor behaviour.
Dow Theory assessments further corroborate the bearish outlook, with both weekly and monthly signals mildly bearish. This theory, which focuses on the confirmation of trends through market averages, implies that the broader market sentiment for Speciality Restaurants Ltd remains subdued.
Price Performance in Context
Speciality Restaurants Ltd’s current price of ₹113.15 is significantly below its 52-week high of ₹162.00, representing a decline of approximately 30%. The stock’s 52-week low stands at ₹100.35, indicating that it is trading closer to its lower range, which may act as a support level in the near term.
Comparing the stock’s returns with the Sensex reveals a mixed performance. Over the past week, the stock outperformed the Sensex with a 9.06% gain versus the benchmark’s 1.79%. However, this short-term strength is overshadowed by longer-term underperformance. Over one month, the stock gained 4.48% while the Sensex declined by 2.27%. Year-to-date, the stock is marginally up by 0.49%, whereas the Sensex is down 1.65%. The one-year return is deeply negative at -23.03%, contrasting with the Sensex’s positive 6.66% gain. Over three years, the stock has declined by 53.43%, while the Sensex surged 37.76%. Even over a decade, the stock’s 11.04% return pales in comparison to the Sensex’s 244.38% growth.
These figures highlight the stock’s struggle to keep pace with broader market gains, reflecting sector-specific challenges and company-specific headwinds.
Mojo Score and Ratings Update
MarketsMOJO’s latest assessment downgraded Speciality Restaurants Ltd from a Hold to a Sell rating on 2 December 2025, reflecting the deteriorating technical and fundamental outlook. The company’s Mojo Score stands at a low 34.0, signalling weak momentum and limited upside potential. The Market Cap Grade is rated 4, indicating a mid-tier market capitalisation but insufficient to offset the negative technical signals.
This downgrade aligns with the bearish technical trend and suggests that investors should exercise caution. The downgrade also reflects the company’s challenges in sustaining growth amid a competitive leisure services environment.

Investor Implications and Outlook
Given the current technical landscape, investors should approach Speciality Restaurants Ltd with caution. The bearish momentum across key indicators such as MACD, moving averages, and Bollinger Bands suggests that the stock may face further downside pressure in the near term. The lack of strong volume support and neutral RSI readings imply limited immediate recovery potential.
However, the mildly bullish monthly KST and proximity to the 52-week low could offer some support levels, potentially attracting value-oriented investors looking for a turnaround. Nonetheless, the long-term underperformance relative to the Sensex and the recent downgrade to a Sell rating by MarketsMOJO indicate that the stock remains a high-risk proposition.
Investors should monitor upcoming quarterly results, sector developments, and broader market trends closely. Any positive catalyst that improves earnings visibility or sector sentiment could help reverse the current downtrend. Until then, a cautious stance with tight risk management is advisable.
Summary
Speciality Restaurants Ltd’s technical parameters have shifted decisively towards bearishness, with multiple indicators confirming weakening momentum. The stock’s recent price action, combined with a downgrade in rating and poor relative returns, paints a challenging picture for investors. While short-term rallies have occurred, the broader trend remains negative, underscoring the need for careful analysis before committing fresh capital.
