Surya Roshni Faces Significant Volatility Amid Broader Sector Downturn and Underperformance

Surya Roshni, a midcap player in the Steel/Sponge Iron/Pig Iron industry, has experienced significant volatility today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 205.3. This decline follows a two-day losing streak, during which the stock has dropped nearly 10%. Today, it opened with a notable gap down of 19.16%, reflecting broader market pressures, as the sector itself has seen a downturn of 7.57%.
Despite this challenging environment, Surya Roshni's performance has outpaced its sector by 0.52% today. However, the stock is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. Over the past year, Surya Roshni has underperformed the market, with a return of -20.39%, compared to the Sensex's decline of 2.38%.

Financially, the company has shown a modest annual growth rate in net sales of 4.78% and operating profit of 8.34% over the last five years. However, its recent performance has been less favorable, with a 25.31% decline in profit after tax over the last six months. Despite these challenges, Surya Roshni maintains a strong ability to service its debt, evidenced by a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.11 times.
