Lupin, SRF, TMPV, Maruti, NTPC among 74 BSE 500 stocks hit 52-week lows
SRF flagged a risk in a quarterly results development.
· Business Standard Mkts, Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
Benchmark indices traded lower for the third consecutive session on Thursday, as selling across sectors amid elevated crude oil prices and concerns over corporate earnings weighed on sentiment.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -1.0% on the day at ₹2,335.50, and has returned -10.3% over three months. It sits 25% below its 52-week high. The chemicals sector has moved -14.2% over the same period, so SRF is running 3.9 points ahead of its peers.
This is an Input cost / crude event. India imports most of its crude, so input costs pass through to margins downstream and to the rupee. Producers and consumers of the same input move in opposite directions. On the day the stock is -1.0%, so a modest reaction.
For SRF, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the chemicals peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- The 3 companies named span 3 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 1 of 3 are higher: NTPC leads at +1.9% and SRF trails at -1.0%.
- Over three months: SRF -10.3% against Chemicals -14.2% (3.9 points ahead); Maruti Suzuki -19.7% against Auto -7.7% (12.0 points behind); NTPC -8.3% against Power -13.2% (4.9 points ahead).
- At least 25% below the 52-week high: Maruti Suzuki (34%).
