16 February: Q3 Results Highlight Structural Challenges
Vijay Solvex Ltd opened the week on a cautious note, with its Q3 FY26 results signalling margin compression and a decline in profitability. The company reported a profit before tax (PBT) of Rs.6.84 crores for the quarter ending December 2025, down 29.99% from the previous period. This contraction in earnings underscored ongoing operational challenges and structural pressures within the business.
The stock responded positively on the day, rising 2.07% to close at Rs.484.95, outperforming the Sensex’s 0.70% gain. However, this initial optimism was short-lived as investors digested the implications of the weaker margins and profit decline.
17 February: Shares Plunge to 52-Week Low of Rs.448.9
On 17 February, Vijay Solvex Ltd’s stock fell sharply, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs.448.9 intraday, marking a 7.43% decline from the previous close. The stock closed at Rs.479.45, down 1.13% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which rose 0.32% to 36,904.38.
This drop occurred despite a broadly positive market environment, with mega-cap stocks leading gains. The stock’s fall below all major moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicated sustained downward momentum. The decline also reflected investor concerns over the company’s deteriorating fundamentals and weak earnings outlook.
18 February: Marginal Recovery Amid Low Volumes
On 18 February, Vijay Solvex Ltd’s shares saw a slight uptick, rising 0.05% to Rs.479.70 on thin volume of 985 shares. The Sensex continued its upward trajectory, gaining 0.43% to close at 37,062.35. The muted price movement in the stock suggested a lack of conviction among investors, with the broader market’s strength failing to translate into meaningful gains for Vijay Solvex.

19 February: New 52-Week Low of Rs.400 Amid Volatility
The stock experienced significant volatility on 19 February, plunging to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.400 intraday, a steep 16.61% drop from prior levels. Despite this intraday weakness, the stock closed at Rs.468.25, down 2.39% on the day. The broader market was mixed, with the Sensex falling 1.45% to 36,523.88 after an initial positive open.
This sharp decline further emphasised the stock’s fragile technical position, trading below all key moving averages and signalling persistent selling pressure. The intraday price swing of 8.68% reflected heightened uncertainty and weak investor sentiment amid disappointing fundamentals and sectoral headwinds.
20 February: Week Ends with Continued Downtrend
On the final trading day of the week, Vijay Solvex Ltd’s shares declined 3.27% to close at Rs.452.95, extending the week’s losses. The Sensex rebounded modestly, gaining 0.41% to 36,674.32, highlighting the stock’s underperformance relative to the broader market. The low trading volume of 1,099 shares suggested subdued investor interest and ongoing caution.

Conclusion
The week ending 20 February 2026 was challenging for Vijay Solvex Ltd, with the stock declining 4.66% amid disappointing quarterly results, fresh 52-week lows, and persistent technical weakness.
