Broader market context shows that while the stock has underperformed significantly year-to-date with a decline of 22.71%, the Sensex has risen by 4.01% in the same timeframe. This stark contrast highlights the stock's struggles against the broader market. The company's high debt levels, reflected in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0 times, and negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) further contribute to its risk profile, making it a strong sell. Despite a notable increase in investor participation, as evidenced by a 318.11% rise in delivery volume, the overall sentiment remains negative due to the company's financial challenges and recent poor performance.
