Stock Performance and Market Context
On 27 Jan 2026, Tech Mahindra’s shares surged to an intraday peak of Rs.1748.95, marking a 2.8% increase on the day and outperforming its sector by 2.6%. The stock has recorded gains for four consecutive sessions, delivering a cumulative return of 4.1% over this period. This sustained upward trajectory has propelled the stock above all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, signalling strong technical momentum.
In comparison, the broader Sensex index experienced a volatile session, initially opening 100.91 points lower but recovering sharply to close 456.03 points higher at 81,892.82, a 0.44% gain. Despite the Sensex’s recent three-day decline of 0.44%, Tech Mahindra’s performance stands out as a beacon of strength within the market.
Historical Price Range and Relative Performance

Financial Metrics Underpinning the Rally
Tech Mahindra’s recent price surge is supported by strong fundamental metrics. The company boasts a high return on equity (ROE) of 16.46%, reflecting efficient management and effective utilisation of shareholder capital. Additionally, the return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year period stands at an impressive 21.57%, indicating robust profitability relative to the capital invested.
The company maintains a conservative capital structure with an average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, underscoring its low leverage position. This financial prudence is complemented by operational efficiency, as evidenced by a high debtors turnover ratio of 8.11 times for the half-year, signalling effective receivables management.
Profitability metrics also highlight strength, with the company reporting a quarterly PBDIT peak of Rs.2,365.60 crores. This consistent positive earnings performance spans seven consecutive quarters, reinforcing the company’s stable earnings base.
Institutional Confidence and Market Standing
Institutional investors hold a significant 55.89% stake in Tech Mahindra, reflecting confidence from entities with extensive analytical resources. This high level of institutional ownership often correlates with enhanced stock stability and liquidity.
Moreover, Tech Mahindra is ranked among the top 1% of companies rated by MarketsMojo across a universe of over 4,000 stocks, with a Mojo Score of 71.0 and a recent upgrade in Mojo Grade from Hold to Buy as of 14 Jan 2026. This upgrade reflects improved market sentiment and recognition of the company’s quality and growth attributes.
Valuation and Growth Considerations
Despite the positive momentum, the stock’s valuation remains on the higher side. With a price-to-book value of 6.1, Tech Mahindra trades at a premium relative to its peers’ historical averages. The company’s PEG ratio of 1.2 indicates that the stock’s price growth is somewhat aligned with its earnings growth, which has risen by 28.8% over the past year.
Long-term growth rates, however, have been more modest, with operating profit expanding at an annualised rate of 7.37% over the last five years. This suggests a steady but measured growth trajectory underpinning the current valuation levels.

While the broader market has experienced some volatility, with the Sensex trading below its 50-day moving average but above its 200-day moving average, Tech Mahindra’s resilience stands out. Mega-cap stocks, including Tech Mahindra, have been instrumental in driving the Sensex’s modest gains today.
