After four consecutive days of decline, Jhaveri Credits experienced a slight rebound, reaching an intraday high of Rs. 173.9, although it opened with a loss of 2.01%.

While the company has reported positive results for the last three consecutive quarters, including a 267.07% growth in net sales, its valuation remains high compared to peers, with a Price to Book Value of 1.7. The stock's technical indicators also suggest a bearish outlook, reflecting ongoing challenges in its market position.
