This significant decline marks a troubling trend for the company, which has underperformed its sector by 4.19% today alone. Over the past two days, Kesoram has seen a consecutive fall, resulting in a total decline of 4.95%.
The stock's performance metrics reveal a stark contrast to the broader market. In the last month, Kesoram Industries has plummeted by 56.80%, while the Sensex has gained 3.99%.

Financially, Kesoram Industries is grappling with a negative book value and a high debt-to-equity ratio, indicating weak long-term fundamentals. Recent results show a significant drop in net sales and profits, with cash reserves at their lowest. The technical indicators suggest a bearish trend, further complicating the company's outlook. Despite high institutional holdings at 20.95%, the overall performance remains concerning.
