The stock opened with a substantial gap down of 8.66%, reaching an intraday low of Rs. 723.85, reflecting ongoing bearish sentiment.
In terms of performance metrics, Nucleus Software has struggled over the past year, with a decline of 46.08%, significantly worse than the broader market's drop of 2.22%.
