For example, Surya Roshni, Patels Airtemp and Heranba Industries have reported quarterly results that are not too encouraging. In most cases, there have seen quarterly results, where there is nothing much too most about. In fact, the quarterly numbers for all of the three mentioned above, show net profits falling, which is why the shares have dropped sharply. Surya Roshni shares are down as much as 7%, while Patels Airtemp is down 9% in trade today. A sharp fall in shares to 52-week lows, does not automatically make it attractive. One needs to watch the fundamentals closely. Watch for dividends being paid by the company. For example, Surya Roshni has declared a dividend of Rs 4 per share and also the order book position of the company is good. Over a period of time, these company stocks could recover. Infact, the stock of Surya Roshni has halved from levels of Rs 867, which was a 52-week high that was hit in Oct last year. The stock has the potential to rally from the current levels.
