IP Rings, a microcap company in the auto ancillary industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on May 21, 2024.

The majority shareholders of IP Rings are the promoters, indicating their confidence in the company's future. In fact, the stock has outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 97.54% in the last year, compared to the market's return of 36.54%. While the stock may have potential for growth, current market conditions and the company's financial performance suggest a 'Sell' rating.
