Godrej Agrovet Share Price Target

"This stock is not doing well right now. It is facing problems going above ₹720-₹730. The trading volume is low and signs are pointing to weakness. It recently dropped below ₹715, which means it might fall further to ₹680 or ₹660. The company is facing pressure on profits, especially in its agriculture and animal feed business. It's better to wait unless the stock moves above ₹730 with strong buying support," commented Riyank Arora - Technical Analyst - Mehta Equities Limited.
