The special thing is that even the third quarter results announced last Friday did not bring any improvement in the share price. According to Bloomberg report, on Tuesday, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of Nifty blue chip stocks, which is a key bullish indicator, fell to 24.

Out of these 28 brokerage firms, 26 have recommended buying/upgrade of the stock.
Why is the decline coming?
The poor performance of the retail sector has been attributed to the rapid expansion of commercial, slowdown in fashion and lifestyle segments and the impact of the new labor code. Analysts have also said that the fourth quarter base for the retail sector is strong and the growth rate is likely to remain modest in the near future. The near-term factors cited by analysts are Jio’s listing, increase in tariffs, development of new energy ecosystem and improvement in retail sector growth.
continuously decreasing margins
HSBC said in the ET report that we remain positive about the improvement in the retail sector. Jio has been growing steadily and is set to increase in value with its announced IPO. The online-to-commerce (O2C) business is seeing a gradual improvement in demand, although we are still skeptical about the high margins of the past. We also hope that new energy, when fully developed, will become a new engine of development. The company also said that the third quarter was a temporary decline and the momentum is gaining momentum. Analysts are cautious about the online-to-commerce business due to rising geopolitical tensions and increasing focus on Russian crude oil imports.
Kotak Equities said that as the use of more expensive Russian crude increases, challenges remain in the O2C sector… Our GRM estimates for Reliance remain conservative, as we believe a decline in Russian crude imports will increase crude oil costs (compared to benchmarks such as Dubai crude) and impact margins.
