Over the course of the day, it has underperformed the chemicals sector by 3.43%, marking a consecutive decline over the last two days, with a total drop of 13.22% during this period.
The stock's performance metrics indicate it is trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, suggesting a bearish trend. In the past year, Fineotex Chemical has reported a staggering decline of 45.97%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's performance of -2.31%.
