Mishtann Foods Share Price Stuck In Lower Circuit, Drops Nearly 30% Over Three Sessions—Here's Why
Mishtann Foods stock has fallen 27.94% in the last three sessions, after SEBI imposed a market ban until further notice.
Shares of Mishtann Foods Ltd. have been nosediving for three consecutive sessions and are stuck in the 10% lower circuit as of early trade on Tuesday, after the company issued a clarification on the show-cause notice issued by capital markets regulator SEBI.
The stock had plummeted around 20% to hit its lower circuit on Friday, and has fallen 27.94% in the last three sessions.
The management of Mishtann Foods has strongly denied all allegations mentioned in the show-cause order, which contained allegations of financial mismanagement and fraudulent transactions. The company claims that the allegations are based on assumptions, lacking credibility, and disconnected from reality, as per an exchange filing.
On Thursday, SEBI imposed a ban on five entities, including Mishtann Foods and its promoter, Chairman & Managing Director, Hiteshkumar Gaurishankar Patel, from accessing the securities markets until further notice. This action followed investigations into the company's activities.
The regulator's inquiry uncovered that Mishtann Foods had negligible fixed assets, negative cash flow from its operations, and abnormally low inventory levels relative to its significant sales during the investigation period. These irregularities were deemed likely to be fictitious, involving a circular flow of funds.
