The Sensex index also moved lower, falling 0.77% to close at 85,053.52 points, after opening flat.

Technical Indicators and Moving Averages
AG Ventures is currently trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages. This technical positioning indicates sustained downward momentum and suggests that the stock has not found support at these commonly watched levels. The persistent trading below these averages contrasts with the Sensex, which is positioned above its 50-day moving average, with the 50-day average itself above the 200-day average, signalling a more bullish trend for the broader market.

Financially, the company’s return on equity (ROE) averaged 6.93%, indicating limited profitability relative to shareholders’ funds. The net sales have shown a negative compound annual growth rate of -19.70% over the last five years, while operating profit has declined at an annual rate of -37.29% during the same period. These figures reflect challenges in sustaining growth and profitability.

In the latest six-month period, the profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs.3.37 crores, with a year-on-year decline of 27.75%. Operating cash flow for the year was recorded at Rs.8.09 crores, marking the lowest level in recent times.
