Goodyear India Hits 52-Week Low Amid Ongoing Financial Struggles and Market Trends

Goodyear India has experienced significant market activity today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 810.1. This decline marks a continuation of a challenging period for the small-cap tyre manufacturer, which has seen its stock price drop by 31.35% over the past year. The company has reported negative results for the last five consecutive quarters, with operating profit declining at an annual rate of 14.67% over the past five years.
Despite today's slight recovery after five days of consecutive declines, Goodyear India remains below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. The company's performance metrics reveal a significant drop in profit before tax and profit after tax, with decreases of 44.5% and 35.1%, respectively, compared to previous quarterly averages.

In the broader market context, the Sensex has risen by 0.65% today, although it continues to trade below its 50-day moving average. The mid-cap segment is leading the market, with the BSE Mid Cap index gaining 0.85%. Goodyear India's current valuation appears high relative to its peers, with a price-to-book ratio of 3.2, despite a relatively low debt-to-equity ratio.
