The stock’s fall came despite the Sensex dipping only 0.13% to 36,331.82 points. The day’s movement was driven by the release of weak financial metrics, including operating losses with quarterly PBDIT at Rs. -0.62 crore and negative earnings per share of Rs. -0.51. The stock remained below all key moving averages, signalling persistent bearish momentum.
Friday, 17 July 2026: Death Cross Formation and Continued Downtrend

This marked a three-day losing streak with a cumulative decline of 12.17%. The Sensex, in contrast, rose 0.48% to 36,505.40 points, highlighting the stock’s underperformance. A significant technical development was the formation of a Death Cross, where the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, signalling a potential prolonged bearish trend. Other technical indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Bands, and KST also confirmed negative momentum. The company’s Mojo Score remained at 17.0 with a Strong Sell rating, reflecting deteriorated fundamentals and elevated risk.
