Kennametal India, a small-cap player in the engineering sector, has experienced significant activity today, reaching a new 52-week low of Rs. 2011.1. This decline marks a continuation of a downward trend, with the stock falling for three consecutive days, resulting in a total drop of 5.4% during this period. Despite this downturn, Kennametal India managed to outperform its sector by 0.67% today.
The stock's intraday performance saw a high of Rs. 2124.95, reflecting a 4.18% increase at one point.
