Container Corp of India closed down 0.23% on 3 Sep 2026
A quiet, drifting session: a marginal dip on volume that ran at roughly a third of the 20-day average — the kind of participation that tells you nothing decisive happened. The close sits just above both the 50-day and 200-day averages, a narrow ledge it has hovered around for weeks, while the 20-day average overhead continues to cap recoveries. None of the momentum gauges are calling a direction: RSI mid-range, MACD histogram mildly negative, Stochastic unremarkable, and ADX near 15 confirms there is no trend to speak of. Within the 52-week range, the stock sits closer to its high than its low despite the drift, and the 5-day gain remains intact even as the 20-day reading stays marginally negative. The stock is idling, not stalling — coiled between its long-term averages and waiting for volume to return. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The session
₹508.85 — that's where the day ended for Container Corp of India, near the bottom of a range that stretched from ₹507.25 to ₹516.00. Participation was thin: 4,95,860 shares traded, just 0.3× the 20-day average, so a good part of the market sat this one out.
Trend structure
Two moving averages say one thing, a third says another. The close sits above the 50-day and 200-day averages — the 200-day stands at ₹495.78 — but below the 20-day. That is a mixed structure, not a one-way one. ADX (14) at 15.0 confirms it: no trend of any strength, just a market moving sideways by this measure.
Momentum
The gauges don't agree, and that itself is the story. RSI (14) at 49.3 sits between the conventional oversold and overbought thresholds — neither pressed to one side. The MACD histogram is negative, which describes only the shorter average's position relative to the longer one. In a market without a clear direction, readings like these are the usual thing.
Volatility and range
How big is a typical day for this stock? About ₹12.75 — the 14-session average true range, or 2.51% of price. That is the yardstick against which today's move should be judged. The 20-day volatility band ran from ₹497.29 to ₹531.33, and the close landed in the middle of it.
The year so far
The week and the month are telling different stories. Over five sessions the change is 3.20%, over twenty it is 0.62% — opposite in direction, so the recent week runs counter to the month. The bigger picture: the stock has traded between ₹421.45 and ₹569.80 over the past year, with the close 10.70% below the 52-week high and 20.74% above the 52-week low.
Fundamentals as reported
A market capitalisation of 38,732 crore, Industrials sector (Railroads). The reported figures give a price-to-earnings ratio of 31.0 and a price-to-book of 3.0 — ratios as reported, not a judgement on whether they are justified. The same filing set reports a debt-to-equity ratio of 7.4 and a dividend yield of 1.25%.
How often our range has been right
This page publishes a 1-day range, not a price call — and the range gets scored against reality. Across 288 resolved 1-day ranges for this stock, the close landed inside the 20.0% range 79.86% of the time, and over the same window it scored better than a naive benchmark. A figure below the nominal rate would mean the ranges have been too narrow; above it, too wide. Both sides of that ledger are shown here, not tucked into an internal report.
