The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.35% and has seen a consecutive decline over the past three days, resulting in a total drop of 2.5% during this period.

Financial metrics reveal a notable decrease in profit before tax, which has fallen by 69.1% compared to the previous four-quarter average. Additionally, non-operating income constitutes a significant portion of the profit before tax, raising concerns about the company's operational efficiency. Despite these challenges, Venkys maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio and has demonstrated healthy long-term growth in operating profit, growing at an annual rate of 34.65%.
