The stock’s momentum peaked on 29 January, reaching an intraday 52-week high of Rs.199.25 and closing at Rs.202.35, a 4.41% daily gain. This marked the third consecutive day of gains, with a cumulative return of 6.16%. Trading volumes surged to 3.14 crore shares, with a traded value of approximately Rs.619.6 crores, signalling strong accumulation. Tata Steel outperformed both its sector and the Sensex, which declined by 0.66%. The stock’s market capitalisation rose to Rs.2,41,931 crore, maintaining its position as the second largest in the ferrous metals sector. Financial metrics remained robust, with a 5.01 times operating profit to interest coverage ratio and a PEG ratio of 0.3, indicating attractive valuation relative to earnings growth.



30 January 2026: Intraday Pressure and Profit Taking Amid Market Softness


On 30 January, Tata Steel Ltd faced intraday selling pressure, hitting a low of Rs.194.95 and closing at Rs.193.10, down 4.57%. This decline interrupted the prior three-day rally and underperformed the Sensex’s 0.22% fall. Despite the setback, the stock remained above all key moving averages, suggesting underlying technical strength. High intraday volatility of 78.17% reflected active trading amid a cautious market environment. The Sensex traded below its 50-day moving average, contributing to the subdued sentiment. Tata Steel’s proximity to its 52-week high, just 3.73% below the peak, indicates resilience despite short-term pressures.
