Tulsyan NEC Faces Financial Struggles Amid Significant Stock Volatility and Debt Concerns

Tulsyan NEC, a microcap player in the Steel/Sponge Iron/Pig Iron industry, has experienced significant volatility today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 40.01. The stock has underperformed its sector, declining by 4.81% and marking a consecutive two-day drop of 7.58%. Opening with a gap down of 4.74%, Tulsyan NEC has traded consistently at this low price throughout the day.
The company's financial health raises concerns, with a troubling operating loss and a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 171.78 times, indicating a low ability to service its debt.

The stock's performance has been starkly negative, with a 55.31% decline compared to a modest 3.34% gain in the Sensex.

Additionally, 99.63% of promoter shares are pledged, which could exert further downward pressure on the stock in a declining market. As the technical indicators remain bearish, Tulsyan NEC continues to face significant challenges in its operational and financial landscape.
