09 February 2026: Sharp Gap Down and 52-Week Low Amid Market Concerns
Sundrop Brands Ltd opened the week on a weak note, plunging 5.65% to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.587.5. This gap down reflected heightened market concerns as the stock underperformed both its edible oil sector peers and the broader Sensex, which gained 1.04% that day. The stock traded flat at this low throughout the session, signalling strong selling pressure and bearish technical momentum. Key indicators showed the stock trading below all major moving averages, reinforcing the negative sentiment. The company’s mojo score stood at 40.0 with a ‘Sell’ grade, reflecting cautious analyst views amid ongoing operational challenges and a doubling of pledged promoter shares.
10 February 2026: Strong Rebound on Heavy Volume
Following the prior day’s weakness, Sundrop Brands staged a robust recovery, surging 5.32% to close at Rs.673.00 on significantly higher volume of 873 lakh shares. This rebound outpaced the Sensex’s modest 0.25% gain, signalling renewed investor interest. The recovery was supported by technical buying as the stock approached short-term support levels. Despite the bounce, the stock remained below its longer-term moving averages, indicating that broader resistance levels had yet to be overcome.

11-12 February 2026: Two-Day Decline Amid Market Volatility
The stock experienced a mild pullback over the next two sessions, declining 0.94% and 1.15% respectively to close at Rs.659.00 on 12 February. This retracement coincided with a volatile market environment where the Sensex showed a mixed trend, gaining slightly on 11 February before dropping 0.56% on 12 February. Sundrop’s volume surged to 1,688 lakh shares on 12 February, indicating active trading despite the price decline. The stock’s technical position remained mixed, with short-term averages under pressure but longer-term averages still acting as resistance.
13 February 2026: Intraday Surge and Positive Quarterly Results
Sundrop Brands closed the week with a strong intraday performance, surging 7.0% to touch a high of Rs.693 before settling at Rs.677.95, a 2.88% gain on the day. This rally was notable given the broader market’s weakness, with the Sensex falling 1.40%. The stock outperformed its edible oil sector peers by 6.64%, buoyed by the announcement of very positive quarterly financial results for the December 2025 quarter. Sundrop reported record net sales of Rs.407.47 crores and a peak PBDIT of Rs.20.34 crores, alongside an EPS of Rs.2.14, the highest quarterly figure recorded. However, profit after tax declined 14.9% compared to the previous four-quarter average, reflecting margin pressures despite strong top-line growth.

Key Takeaways from the Week
Positive Signals: Sundrop Brands demonstrated resilience with an 8.88% weekly gain, significantly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.54% decline. The stock’s intraday high of Rs.693 on 13 February marked a strong rebound from the 52-week low of Rs.587.5 recorded on 09 February. Robust quarterly results with record sales and EPS growth underpin operational strength. The stock’s ability to close above short-term moving averages on the final day suggests improving momentum.
Cautionary Factors: Despite recent gains, the stock remains below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating longer-term resistance. The decline in quarterly profit after tax by 14.9% signals margin pressures that could temper near-term earnings growth. The doubling of pledged promoter shares raises concerns about potential selling pressure. The mojo score of 46.0 and ‘Sell’ rating reflect ongoing analyst caution amid mixed financial trends and relative underperformance over longer horizons.
Conclusion
Sundrop Brands Ltd’s week was marked by a dramatic turnaround from a fresh 52-week low to a strong intraday rally, supported by encouraging quarterly financials. The stock’s 8.88% weekly gain amid a declining Sensex highlights its relative strength and potential for short-term recovery. However, persistent challenges such as margin pressures, promoter share pledging, and technical resistance levels suggest that investors should remain vigilant. The company’s operational improvements offer a foundation for optimism, but sustained stock price appreciation will depend on translating sales growth into consistent profitability and overcoming structural headwinds in the edible oil sector.
