The intraday low reflects a drop of 3.44% from the previous close, indicating ongoing challenges for the company.
In terms of moving averages, Tarmat is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, suggesting a bearish trend.

The company's return on equity stands at a modest 6.08%, reflecting low profitability relative to shareholders' funds. Overall, Tarmat's performance metrics highlight significant hurdles as it navigates a challenging market environment.
