Over the past year, Natco Pharma has faced challenges, with a return of -13.31%, contrasting with a 7.12% gain in the Sensex during the same period.
In terms of technical indicators, the weekly MACD and Bollinger Bands signal bearish trends, while the monthly indicators show a mildly bearish stance.
