· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
Ten Nifty 500 stocks have fallen between 47% and 58% over the past year, significantly underperforming the broader market. KEC International, Reliance Power and KPIT Technologies lead the list of laggards, as nearly 50 stocks in the index have declined more than 30% during the period.
The analysis
KEC International reported movement of 58%, 47% and 30%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -4.1% on the day at ₹329.65, and has returned -29.7% over three months. It sits 60% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The infrastructure sector has moved -15.8% over the same period, so KEC International is running 13.9 points behind its peers.
For KEC International, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the infrastructure peer set alongside it.
