Shares of ITC, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Trent emerged among the top three losers on Sensex in the last one year. ITC, the FMCG and cigarettes major, is down 29% in a year, falling the most on Sensex. The defensive stock is stuck in the bear grip in short term and long term. ITC stock has fallen 26% in two years and lost 20% in three years.
Shares of IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which reported its Q4 earnings last week, have slipped 23.50% in a year. Looming AI threat, Trump tariff war and the US- Iran war have sent the IT stock into a tailspin. TCS shares are in the red for up to a period of five years. TCS stock has fallen 38% in two years and 20.37% in five years.
Trent, the retail arm of the Tata Group, is also among the top losers in Sensex in a year. Falling 19% in a year, the Tata Group stock is down 17% in six months. However, in three years, the stock has gained 164% and zoomed 4315 in five years.
