23 March 2026: Sharp Decline Amid Broad Market Sell-Off

TCI Express Ltd opened the week on a weak note, closing at Rs.472.50, down Rs.25.05 or 5.03% from the previous Friday’s close of Rs.497.55. This decline was sharper than the Sensex’s 3.13% fall to 32,377.87, reflecting heightened selling pressure on the stock. The volume was relatively low at 1,217 shares, indicating cautious participation. The drop aligned with a broad market sell-off, but TCI Express’s underperformance highlighted company-specific concerns.

24 March 2026: Bearish Technical Momentum Confirmed

The stock marginally recovered to close at Rs.472.80, up 0.06%, while the Sensex surged 1.95% to 33,009.57. Despite the slight price gain, technical indicators signalled a bearish trend. Key momentum measures such as MACD and moving averages deteriorated, with the stock trading near its 52-week low of Rs.462.70. The bearish momentum was reinforced by Bollinger Bands and daily moving averages, suggesting continued downside risk. The divergence between the stock’s flat day and the Sensex’s strong rally underscored the stock’s relative weakness.

25 March 2026: Minor Decline Despite Sensex Gains

On 25 March, TCI Express closed at Rs.469.10, down 0.78%, while the Sensex continued its rally, gaining 1.93% to 33,645.89. The stock’s decline amid a rising market reflected persistent weakness and lack of positive catalysts. Volume increased to 1,758 shares, but the stock remained below key moving averages, indicating resistance to upward momentum. This day’s performance further emphasised the stock’s underperformance relative to the broader market and sector peers.

27 March 2026: New 52-Week Low and Valuation Upgrade

Trading resumed after a holiday on 26 March, with TCI Express closing at Rs.463.35, down 1.23%. The stock hit an intraday low of Rs.459, marking a fresh 52-week low and extending its losing streak. This decline occurred alongside a 2.11% drop in the Sensex to 32,935.19, reflecting a broadly bearish market environment. Despite the price weakness, valuation metrics improved notably. The company’s price-to-earnings ratio stood at 21.37, significantly lower than peers such as Delhivery (177.85) and Blue Dart Express (41.37), leading to an upgraded valuation grade to “very attractive.” Enterprise value multiples and return ratios supported this improved valuation outlook, although the stock’s Mojo Grade remained a Sell, reflecting ongoing operational and market challenges.

Key Takeaways

Bearish Technical Momentum: The stock’s technical indicators, including MACD, moving averages, and Bollinger Bands, consistently signalled bearish momentum throughout the week. The stock traded below all major moving averages and hovered near its 52-week low, indicating sustained selling pressure.

New 52-Week Low: The fresh low of Rs.459 on 27 March marked a significant milestone in the downtrend, underscoring the stock’s vulnerability amid a weak market and sector environment.

Valuation Attractiveness Amid Weakness: Despite the price decline, valuation metrics improved, with the P/E ratio and EV multiples positioning TCI Express as very attractively valued relative to peers. However, this valuation appeal has yet to translate into price recovery, reflecting underlying operational and market challenges.

Underperformance vs Sensex: The stock’s 6.87% weekly loss significantly outpaced the Sensex’s 1.46% decline, highlighting company-specific headwinds beyond broader market weakness.

Mojo Grade and Risk Profile: The Mojo Score of 40.0 and Sell grade reflect caution, signalling that despite valuation improvements, risks remain elevated due to earnings declines, modest profitability, and sector pressures.

Overall, TCI Express Ltd’s week was characterised by continued downward price pressure amid a challenging market backdrop. While valuation metrics offer some appeal, the technical and fundamental signals suggest that the stock remains under stress, with limited signs of near-term recovery.
