Kakatiya Cement Sugar & Industries has experienced significant volatility today, reaching a new 52-week low of Rs. 131.2. This decline marks a continuation of a downward trend, with the stock falling for three consecutive days, resulting in a total drop of 5.47% during this period. The stock opened with a notable gap down of 7.87%, reflecting broader market pressures, as the cement sector itself has seen a decline of 3.67%.
In terms of performance metrics, Kakatiya Cement's one-year performance stands at a negative 38.27%, starkly contrasting with the Sensex's decline of just 2.27% over the same timeframe.
