The stock has underperformed its sector by 3.59% and has seen a consecutive decline over the past three days, resulting in a total drop of 35.98% during this period.

In terms of long-term performance, Zodiac-JRD-MKJ has faced challenges, with a staggering -211.84% CAGR growth in operating profits over the last five years and a negative EBIT to interest ratio of -0.47, indicating difficulties in servicing its debt.
