The company's current price stands at 475.10, with a previous close of 481.95. Over the past year, Igarashi Motors has faced challenges, reflected in a stock return of -30.23%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's return of 9.50% during the same period.

This evaluation revision highlights the need for Igarashi Motors to address its market positioning and operational efficiency to align more closely with industry trends.
