Today's trading saw an intraday low of Rs. 258, reflecting a decrease of 2.66%.
In terms of moving averages, the stock is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating a bearish trend. Over the past year, Affordable Robotic & Automation has faced a substantial decline of 56.84%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's minor drop of 0.39%.

Financially, the company is grappling with operating losses and a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6.80 times, which raises concerns about its ability to service debt. The latest quarterly net sales figure stands at Rs. 18.77 crore, the lowest recorded, while the profit after tax for the nine-month period is reported at Rs. -3.05 crore, reflecting a decline of 24.51%. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 7.8, suggesting some level of valuation appeal.
