The stock has been on a downward trend, having fallen for six consecutive days, resulting in an overall decline of 11.71% during this period. Despite opening with a notable gain of 9.02%, the stock ultimately underperformed its sector by 2.05%.
In terms of performance metrics, GOCL Corporation's one-year return stands at -34.64%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's positive performance of 1.97% over the same timeframe. The company's financial health appears concerning, with an operating loss reported and a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times, indicating challenges in servicing its debt.
