The stock has underperformed its sector by 8.47%, continuing a downward trend that has seen it decline for four consecutive days, resulting in a total drop of 10.64% during this period.
In terms of moving averages, Advik Capital is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, indicating a bearish technical outlook. Over the past year, the stock has recorded a substantial decline of 38.46%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex, which has gained 6.65% in the same timeframe.

Financially, the company reported its lowest quarterly net sales at Rs. 65.99 crore, alongside the highest interest expenses of Rs. 3.31 crore.

Despite these challenges, Advik Capital has shown healthy long-term growth, with net sales increasing at an annual rate of 149.07% and operating profit rising by 75.38%. However, the stock's technical indicators and consistent underperformance against benchmarks suggest a cautious outlook.
