Quess Corp, a small-cap player in the diversified commercial services sector, has experienced significant activity today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 262.8. This decline marks a continuation of a downward trend, with the stock underperforming its sector by 0.6% and recording a total drop of 3.54% over the past four days. Currently, Quess Corp is trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a challenging market position.
