Genus Paper & Boards Hits New 52-Week Low at Rs. 14.55

Genus Paper & Boards has reached a new 52-week low, hitting Rs. 14.55 today, marking a significant decline in its market performance. The stock has been on a downward trajectory, experiencing a consecutive fall over the past seven days, resulting in a total decline of 13.53%. This performance is notably below the sector average, with Genus Paper & Boards underperforming by 2.44% today.
In terms of moving averages, the stock is currently trading lower than its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a sustained period of weakness. Over the past year, Genus Paper & Boards has recorded a substantial decline of 32.80%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex, which has gained 7.44% during the same period.

Despite some positive financial results reported in June, including a significant increase in profit before tax and record net sales, the company faces challenges with a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5.45 times and a low return on capital employed of 3.68%. These factors contribute to its current market position and performance indicators, reflecting ongoing difficulties in the paper, forest, and jute products industry.
