EPCL announced its quarterly earnings recently and we covered why the EPCL stock fell afterwards. Its struggles are by no means over. But stocks usually bottom out well before the retail investor realizes the business environment has changed.

No recent development suggests the company’s difficult days are over. But when senior management buys stock in large quantities, something good may be around the corner.

Looking at the EPCL chart, one can see that the once resistance at Rs. 42 has now already been tested twice as a support level. It is now about to test that level again, something that will invite the investors’ attention in the next few days.

The company is expected to announce the completion of the new H2O2 plant soon and that could well be a positive trigger, even though H2O2 margins and demand are also currently struggling, just like PVC, which is EPCL’s main source of revenue.

The EPCL shares were last trading at Rs. 2,170,500 today.
