Technical Price Chart (as of November 23, 2021). Analysis by Kalkine

Conclusion: The company's performance further deteriorated in Q3FY21 compared to the previous comparable period. Given the lackluster fundamentals and lack of visibility into the topline as well as bottom-line growth, we recommend an "Avoid" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 11.54, up 0.96% as of November 23, 2021.
