Currently, Super Crop Safe is trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a persistent downward trend. In contrast, the broader market is showing positive momentum, with the Sensex opening 265.06 points higher and currently trading at 82,467.15, just 4.26% shy of its 52-week high.

The company's long-term fundamentals appear weak, highlighted by a -2.84% CAGR growth in net sales over the last five years and a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7.23 times. Additionally, the return on equity stands at a low average of 3.58%, reflecting limited profitability. Despite these challenges, the stock is trading at a discount compared to its peers' historical valuations.
