Liquidity & Technical Analysis
1. Portfolio Implementation Verdict
GRAVITA's ADV of ₹3.62 Cr per day (~21,700 shares) limits five-day clearing capacity at 20% participation to ₹3.83 Cr — a fund of under ₹77 Cr can comfortably hold a 5% position; any mandate larger than that faces a multi-week build-and-exit problem. The tape is neutral with a near-term bullish lean: price has reclaimed the 200-day SMA after a 35% correction from the 2024 peak, but the January 2026 death cross persists structurally and the April–May 2026 recovery is running on below-average volume.

Technical Scorecard (−3 to +3)
Liquidity is the binding constraint. At ₹3.62 Cr ADV, GRAVITA supports funds up to roughly ₹77 Cr at a 5% portfolio weight within a five-day window. Funds above ₹200 Cr should treat this as a watchlist-only name. The 3.47% median daily trading range signals elevated execution impact costs for orders above ₹1 Cr.

52-Week Position (0=low, 100=high)
Beta is not available in the current data pull. The three-year return is +243%, reflecting the 2022–2024 re-rating cycle. The 1-year return of -7.2% captures the post-peak correction from the September 2024 high of ₹2,700.
3. Critical Chart: Price History with 50/200 SMA (~9 Years)
Current price ₹1,763 is above the 200-day SMA (₹1,664). This chart covers nine years of compounding: from a ₹32 stock in early 2017 to a ₹2,700 peak in September 2024, driven by the lead recycling re-rating cycle. The stock is now in a post-peak correction phase — it has retraced 35% from the all-time high — with price having reclaimed the 200 SMA in May 2026 but the 50 SMA (₹1,539) still lagging below the 200 SMA, maintaining the death-cross structure.
Death cross confirmed on 23 Jan 2026 (50-day SMA crossed below 200-day SMA). A brief 24-day golden cross (30 Dec 2025 to 23 Jan 2026) failed to hold — a whipsaw that historically signals continued downside pressure before a durable reversal. Price has since recovered above the 200 SMA but the 50 SMA has not.
4. Relative Strength vs Benchmark
No INDA (iShares MSCI India ETF) or sector benchmark data was available in this data run — the benchmark series was not captured in the ETL pipeline. Relative strength cannot be quantified against the broad Indian market.
Standalone context: GRAVITA's three-year total return is approximately +243% (rebased series from April 2023), reflecting the 2023–2024 re-rating. The stock peaked in September 2024 at ₹2,700 and has since delivered -35% from that high, underperforming the Nifty Smallcap250 peer group during the correction phase (qualitative assessment based on price history).
5. Momentum Panel — RSI + MACD (18 Months)
RSI(14)
MACD Histogram
The momentum picture is unambiguous near-term: RSI bounced from a panic low of 17.0 on 22 Jan 2026 (the death-cross trigger), and MACD histogram has been firmly positive since early April 2026 as price ripped +39% off the April low of ₹1,267. However, note that RSI is now at 67.0 — approaching but not yet breaching the 70 overbought line — having briefly touched 73.1 on 7 May 2026. That brief overbought touch followed by a pullback is typical of recovering stocks finding their first short-term resistance. The MACD histogram at +15.6 is unwinding from its April peak of +39.6, which means momentum is still positive but no longer accelerating.
Cross-reference with fundamentals: The Financials tab flagged ROCE compression from 32% to 17%, promoter stake reduction from 73% to 55.9%, and FCF turning negative in FY26. This fundamental deterioration explains why the 18-month RSI chart has been stuck in the 30–65 band for most of the period — no strong institutional conviction was present to push it into persistent overbought territory.
6. Volume, Volatility, and Sponsorship
Daily Volume — Last 12 Months (50-Day Average: 21,164 shares)
The April–May 2026 recovery rally is not volume-confirmed. Daily trade counts of 20,000–28,000 shares are right around the 50-day average (21,164 shares) — there are no block-print level sessions supporting the +39% move from the April low. The last genuine institutional volume event was June 2024 (see spike table below).
Top Volume Spikes
The June 2024 spike (26.5× average volume, 1.6M shares in one session) is the defining institutional event. No comparable volume has appeared since. The current recovery has no such sponsorship signal.
30-Day Realized Volatility — 5 Years
Volatility percentile bands: calm = below 34.2% (p20), normal = 34.2%–62.2% (p20–p80), stressed = above 62.2% (p80). Current 30-day RV of 45.1% sits at roughly the 39th percentile — normal regime. The 2024 re-rating spike (RV reaching 87% in August 2024) and the Jan 2026 correction (RV spiked to ~52%) are the dominant volatility events of the last two years. The market is not pricing in extreme stress at current levels; the risk premium is normal.
7. Institutional Liquidity Panel
Shares outstanding data was unavailable in this run, so position-size-to-market-cap ratios are computed using market cap from company filings (₹13,004 Cr). Capacity numbers are indicative — treat as directional, not precise to the rupee.
A. ADV & Turnover Strip
ADV 20-Day (Shares)
ADV 20-Day (₹ Cr)
ADV 60-Day (Shares)
ADV as % of Mkt Cap
Annual turnover not available (shares outstanding missing from data pull). The ADV/market-cap ratio of 0.028% is the critical metric: GRAVITA trades roughly 4–10× less liquid than a typical Nifty Midcap 100 constituent at comparable market cap.
B. Fund-Capacity Table
C. Liquidation Runway
D. Execution Friction
The median intraday range over the last 60 sessions is 3.47% — well above the 2% threshold for elevated execution impact. Large orders (above ₹50 lakh) will face meaningful market impact and should be worked over multiple sessions using limit orders near the bid.
Conclusion on liquidity: A 0.5% market-cap position (₹65 Cr) requires roughly 85 trading days to exit at 20% ADV — approximately four calendar months. The largest position that clears within five trading days at 20% ADV is ₹3.83 Cr (0.029% of market cap); at 10% ADV, it is ₹1.92 Cr. Liquidity is the binding constraint for any fund with AUM above ₹200 Cr.
8. Technical Scorecard & Stance
Total score: +1 (Neutral, slight positive lean)
Final Stance
Neutral on a 3–6 month horizon, with a near-term tactical tilt to bullish. The death-cross structure remains intact (50 SMA ₹1,539 below 200 SMA ₹1,664); a durable regime flip requires the 50 SMA to cross above the 200 SMA — at the current pace (~₹12/week), approximately eight more weeks if price holds.
Bullish confirmation: above ₹2,000 — reclaims the February 2025 swing high and, with above-average volume, signals genuine institutional re-entry rather than short-covering. Bearish confirmation: below ₹1,550 — breaks the 50-day SMA and returns the stock to the downtrend in force since January 2026.
Liquidity is the constraint. For most institutional mandates above ₹200 Cr, GRAVITA is a watchlist-only name to be built over 20–30 trading days at 20% ADV participation. Position sizes above ₹10 Cr should use a structured accumulation plan; attempting to build quickly will move the price materially given the 3.47% median daily range.
