Intraday Trading Highlights
On 9 Feb 2026, Thirumalai Chemicals Ltd demonstrated strong buying momentum, touching an intraday peak of Rs 209.1, representing a 7.42% gain. The stock closed with a day change of 7.37%, outperforming the commodity chemicals sector, which gained 2.26% on the same day. This surge also exceeded the Sensex’s 0.52% rise, underscoring the stock’s relative strength in today’s trading session.
The stock’s performance today marked a reversal in its short-term trend, as it gained after two consecutive days of decline. This shift was accompanied by the stock trading above its 5-day and 20-day moving averages, signalling renewed short-term buying interest. However, it remained below its longer-term moving averages of 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day, indicating that the broader trend remains cautious.
Sector and Market Context
The commodity chemicals sector, to which Thirumalai Chemicals belongs, showed moderate gains of 2.26% on the day, supported by positive market sentiment. The broader market environment was also favourable, with the Sensex opening higher at 84,177.51 points, up 597.11 points or 0.71%. Although the Sensex retreated slightly to 84,019.13 points during the session, it still maintained a gain of 0.52% by midday. The index is currently trading 2.55% below its 52-week high of 86,159.02, with a three-week consecutive rise amounting to a 3.04% gain.
Market breadth was supported by mega-cap stocks leading the gains, which helped sustain the positive momentum across sectors including commodity chemicals. The Sensex’s 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, a technical indicator often interpreted as a bullish signal for the broader market.

Over the past week, the stock has advanced 13.13%, again outpacing the Sensex’s 2.88% rise. However, the stock’s performance over longer time frames shows mixed results.

Year-to-date, Thirumalai Chemicals Ltd has fallen 11.84%, compared to the Sensex’s 1.41% decline. Over the one-year horizon, the stock is down 18.07%, while the Sensex has gained 7.91%. Despite these recent setbacks, the company’s longer-term performance remains strong, with a three-year gain of 21.49% and a five-year return of 108.57%, both trailing the Sensex’s respective gains of 38.18% and 63.69%. Remarkably, over a ten-year span, the stock has delivered a substantial 1117.38% return, far exceeding the Sensex’s 249.78% growth.

Technical Positioning and Moving Averages
The stock’s current price level above its 5-day and 20-day moving averages indicates short-term bullish momentum. However, it remains below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, suggesting that the medium to long-term trend has yet to confirm a sustained upward trajectory. This technical setup often signals a potential consolidation phase or a cautious recovery after recent declines.
In comparison, the Sensex is trading below its 50-day moving average, but the 50-day average remains above the 200-day average, a configuration that typically supports a positive market outlook. The three-week consecutive rise in the Sensex further reinforces the prevailing market strength, which may have contributed to the positive sentiment in Thirumalai Chemicals Ltd’s trading session.
Summary of Today’s Market Action
Thirumalai Chemicals Ltd’s strong intraday performance on 9 Feb 2026 stands out amid a broadly positive market environment. The stock’s 7.42% intraday high and 7.37% day change significantly outperformed both its sector and the Sensex. This rebound after two days of decline, combined with favourable short-term technical indicators, highlights a notable shift in trading dynamics for the stock.
While the company’s longer-term performance metrics and Mojo rating suggest caution, today’s trading activity reflects a clear resurgence in buying interest. The broader market’s positive tone, led by mega-cap gains and a rising Sensex, provided a supportive backdrop for this movement.
