23 February 2026: New 52-Week and All-Time Low Amid Sector Weakness

On 23 February, Sula Vineyards Ltd’s stock closed at Rs.175.55, marking a fresh 52-week and all-time low. The stock declined 2.20% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which gained 0.39%. Intraday, the share price touched Rs.174.8, the lowest in a year, signalling sustained bearish momentum. This decline came despite a broadly resilient market, highlighting company-specific pressures.

Financially, the company has faced a contraction in operating profit at an annualised rate of 20.12% over five years, with recent quarterly PAT down 15.7% to Rs.10.33 crores. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) remains subdued at 9.59%, and institutional investors reduced their holdings by 2.63% to 19.43%, reflecting cautious sentiment.

24 February 2026: Continued Downtrend with Increased Volatility

The downward trend extended on 24 February, with the stock closing at Rs.172.1, a new 52-week low. The day’s decline of 1.17% was in line with sector pressures, while the Sensex fell 0.78%. Intraday volatility was elevated at 89.81%, indicating significant price swings despite limited net movement. The stock remained below all key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish technical outlook.

Longer-term returns remain weak, with a one-year loss of 37.73% versus the Sensex’s 10.86% gain. The company’s valuation metrics, including an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2, suggest a discount relative to peers, though this is tempered by a 55.7% decline in profits over the past year.

25 February 2026: Fresh 52-Week Low Despite Positive Market

On 25 February, Sula Vineyards Ltd’s stock fell further to Rs.171.5, marking another 52-week low. This decline occurred despite the Sensex gaining 0.73%, underscoring the stock’s relative weakness. The share price has now declined for four consecutive sessions, losing 5.41% over this period. The stock remains below all major moving averages, signalling persistent bearishness.

Financial indicators continue to reflect challenges, with operating profit contracting at an annualised rate of 20.12% over five years and quarterly PAT down 15.7%. Institutional investors have trimmed their holdings, now at 19.43%, indicating reduced confidence among sophisticated market participants.

26 February 2026: New 52-Week Low Amid Mixed Market Signals

The downtrend extended to 26 February, with the stock closing at Rs.170.1, a fresh 52-week and all-time low. This marked five consecutive sessions of losses, with a cumulative decline of 6.29%. The stock marginally outperformed its sector on the day but underperformed the Sensex, which closed down 0.19%. Technical indicators remain negative, with the stock trading below all key moving averages.

Long-term underperformance persists, with a one-year return of -37.89% versus the Sensex’s 10.07% gain. The company’s valuation remains attractive on a relative basis, but profitability challenges and reduced institutional participation continue to weigh on sentiment.

27 February 2026: Week Closes at Fresh 52-Week Low After Six-Day Decline

The week ended with Sula Vineyards Ltd’s stock closing at Rs.170.45 on 27 February, marking a sixth consecutive session of decline and a new 52-week low. The stock’s intraday volatility remained elevated, and it traded below all major moving averages, reflecting sustained bearish momentum. Despite a modest 0.32% gain on the day, the stock underperformed the Sensex’s decline of 0.39% over the week.

Over the past year, the stock has lost 34.23%, sharply underperforming the Sensex’s 9.80% gain. The company’s financial metrics remain subdued, with operating profit contracting at an annualised rate of 20.12%, quarterly PAT down 15.7%, and ROCE at 9.59%. Institutional investors have reduced their stake to 19.43%, signalling continued caution.

Key Takeaways

Sula Vineyards Ltd’s share price has experienced a sustained decline over the week, falling 4.86% compared to the Sensex’s 0.96% drop. The stock’s performance was marked by six consecutive sessions of losses, reaching fresh 52-week and all-time lows. This downtrend reflects ongoing challenges in the company’s financial performance, including a 20.12% annualised contraction in operating profit over five years and a 15.7% decline in quarterly PAT.

Institutional investors have reduced their holdings by 2.63%, now holding 19.43%, signalling cautious sentiment. The stock trades below all key moving averages, reinforcing the bearish technical outlook. Despite an attractive valuation profile with a ROCE of 9.4% and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.9, the persistent decline in profitability and investor confidence has weighed heavily on the share price.

Volatility has been elevated throughout the week, and the stock’s underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers highlights the company’s ongoing struggles within the beverages sector. The combination of weak financial metrics, reduced institutional participation, and technical weakness suggests continued challenges ahead.

Conclusion

The week ending 27 February 2026 has been a difficult period for Sula Vineyards Ltd, with the stock falling to new lows amid a backdrop of deteriorating financial performance and subdued investor confidence. Despite some valuation appeal, the company’s declining profitability, reduced institutional interest, and persistent technical weakness have contributed to a pronounced downtrend. The stock’s consistent underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector benchmarks underscores the challenges faced by the company in reversing its fortunes in the near term.
