In terms of moving averages, Spandana Sphoorty is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating a bearish trend. Over the past year, the stock has plummeted by 71.02%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex, which has seen a modest gain of 1.49%.

The company has reported negative results for three consecutive quarters, with a staggering decline in profit after tax (PAT) of 1945.1% compared to the previous quarter's average. Additionally, promoter confidence appears to be waning, as their stake has decreased by 7.7% in the last quarter.
