At least 21 Indian companies with a market cap of over INR 5bn ($66m) saw their profits decline in each of the past four quarters and their stocks suffer negative returns in the last year, according to ET Markets. Five of the companies belong to the pharmaceutical sector, while three operate in specialty chemicals. Laxmi Organic Industries saw net profit fall by 37-66% YoY in the last four consecutive quarters, while Motilal Oswal Financial Services’s profit fell 45% and 86% in the March and June quarters, respectively.
