Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. (GSFC) has now traded within 2% of its 52-week low for its second straight session, with the cumulative move across the streak at -5.95%. On 22 October 2026 at 9:23 AM IST, the stock last traded at Rs 139.2, after touching a low of Rs 139.1. The latest Univest data confirms the repeated-low pattern, but it does not establish a company-specific cause for the continued decline.

The previous close was Rs 141.15, while the stock opened at Rs 144.95 and touched a high of Rs 144.95 in the morning trade. GSFC’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 5,897.47 crore. For readers, the key point is not just the single-day move but the fact that the share price has stayed near its yearly low across multiple sessions, which makes this an extended streak rather than an isolated weak print.

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. 52 Week Low Streak: Consecutive Low Analysis

Metric Value
Current Price Rs 139.2
Previous Close Rs 141.15
Today's Move Rs -1.95 (-1.38%)
Open Rs 144.95
High Rs 144.95
Low Rs 139.1
Market Capitalisation Rs 5,897.47 crore

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. (GSFC) traded at Rs 139.2 versus the previous close of Rs 141.15, a fall of 1.38%. The stock opened at Rs 144.95, reached a high of Rs 144.95, touched a low of Rs 139.1.

GSFC share price today is lower than the previous close, with the stock last traded at Rs 139.2 versus Rs 141.15 earlier. That works out to a fall of Rs 1.95, or 1.38%, during the ongoing market hours. The day opened at Rs 144.95, which is also the day’s high, while the low so far is Rs 139.1. The stock is therefore trading near the lower end of the day’s range, and the repeated weakness keeps the focus on the GSFC share price update rather than on any intraday rebound.

At Rs 139.2, the stock is also sitting close to its recent lower band in relation to the 52-week low streak. The market capitalisation of Rs 5,897.47 crore places the company among established listed names in the fertilisers space, but size alone does not alter the immediate price pattern. The GSFC share price action matters because the stock has remained near its yearly low across back-to-back sessions, which is a different reading from a one-off decline. For investors tracking GSFC NSE and GSFC BSE, the immediate takeaway is that the weakness has persisted into the current session.

What the Repeated 52-Week Lows Show

The repeated-low pattern suggests that GSFC 52 Week Low Streak is not a one-session event. It is now a second straight session of trading within 2% of the one-year trough, and the cumulative decline of 5.95% across the streak gives a clearer picture of the pressure than today’s change alone. That cumulative read is important because it shows how the stock has moved over the full run, not just within one morning’s trade.

Latest Univest data confirms the price pattern, but it does not establish a company-specific cause for the continued move. That distinction matters. A repeated close-to-low pattern can reflect ongoing caution in the market, yet the data here does not support a direct explanation. What it does show is that the GSFC stock news flow is now being read through the lens of back-to-back 52 week lows, which can influence how investors interpret every new trade in the share price.

For search intent around “GSFC 52 Week Low Streak”, “GSFC Consecutive 52 Week Low” and “GSFC New One Year Low”, the key factual answer is simple: the stock has stayed near its yearly low for a second straight session, and the decline across that streak remains visible in the cumulative number.
