Goyal Associates, a microcap player in the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector, has experienced significant volatility today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 1.06. This decline marks a continuation of a downward trend, with the stock underperforming its sector by 4.59% and recording a two-day loss of 5.6%.
The company's performance over the past year has been notably poor, with a return of -35.52%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 6.02% during the same period. Goyal Associates has consistently traded below its moving averages across various time frames, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating a sustained bearish trend.

Financially, Goyal Associates has shown weak long-term fundamentals, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 11.92% and a concerning annual decline in net sales of 6.14%.
