According to NSE, the counter's EPS (Earnings Per Share) based on the previous four trailing quarters in the scrip is zero. The high-low price variation was greater than 75 per cent in the previous three months, 100 per cent in the previous six months and 150 per cent in the previous 12 months. NSE also noted that the company has been loss-making for the last eight quarters.
Osho Krishan, Chief Manager – Technical & Derivative Research at Angel One, said, "Alok Industries remains in a secular downtrend, trading below its key medium- and long-term EMAs, reflecting sustained technical weakness. Recent price action has been accompanied by improved volume traction amid the breakdown, further indicating underlying selling pressure. The Rs 10–11 zone is likely to act as immediate resistance, while support is placed around Rs 7."
Virat Jagad, Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, noted, "The stock remains in a broader downtrend. The recent sharp recovery is supported by strong volume. Sustaining above Rs 8–8.15 may support further recovery, while the trend needs confirmation above key EMA resistance."
On the earnings front, the Reliance-backed company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 138.25 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27), compared with a net loss of Rs 171.56 crore in Q1 FY26. Revenue from operations, however, increased 6.50 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 993.11 crore during the quarter.
