At Friday's closing the shares of the company were seen trading above 5 days, 10 days, 20 days, 50 days, 100 days, and 200 days Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, since the RSI price index of Rs. 75.5 is in the overbought zone potential investors should exercise caution as Gujarat Containers Ltd.'s price may be anticipated to rise slightly in the near future resulting from the scrip being in a quasi segment. 

The corporation reported a promoter shareholding of 59.76% for the quarter that ended in June 2022, a growth of 1.77% from the prior quarter, and a public shareholding of 40.24%.

Although the company has a high ROE of 47.49% and has been rising for the past three years, the fact that its shares crossed its positive breakout second resistance level at the last traded price, may indicate an opportunity.
