The firm that owns FMCG brands including Mamaearth and The Derma Co saw its shares plunge by 20% on Monday after declaring a consolidated loss of ₹18.57 crore for the second quarter ending September 30, 2024, attributed to inventory changes.
According to Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, the Honasa share price has responded negatively in the last two sessions following poor earnings, dropping over 30% and reaching new lows.
However, given the bearish momentum, avoid catching the falling knife and exploit any bounce to liquidate long positions, as it will continue to underperform in the short run.
