Conclusion
Mysore Petro Chemicals Ltd’s week was marked by a complex mix of stabilising revenue growth and deepening profitability challenges. While the stock managed a 2.77% weekly gain and outperformed the Sensex, the sharp intraday fall to a 52-week low and continued operating losses highlight ongoing financial headwinds. The company’s improved cash position and record sales offer some optimism, but margin contraction and weak returns on capital remain significant concerns. Trading below key moving averages and carrying a Strong Sell rating from MarketsMOJO, the stock faces a cautious outlook amid volatile market conditions and operational pressures.
