This decline marks a continuation of a downward trend, with the stock underperforming its sector by 1.82% and recording a total drop of 4.3% over the past two days.
The company's performance over the past year has been notably poor, with a staggering decline of 42.62%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's positive growth of 5.28% during the same period. Kobo Biotech's stock is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a persistent bearish trend.

Financially, Kobo Biotech has faced challenges, including a lack of declared results in the last six months and a concerning debt-to-equity ratio of zero. Recent quarterly results reflect a PBDIT of Rs. -0.34 crore and a PBT of Rs. -1.35 crore, with an EPS of Rs. -0.56, highlighting ongoing operational struggles. The company’s long-term growth prospects appear weak, with net sales declining at an annual rate of 100% over the past five years.
