Worst Yearly Performers — how to read this screen

This screen ranks NSE stocks by the largest declines over the past year. A twelve-month fall is rarely noise — it usually reflects either a genuine deterioration in the business or a full cycle turning against it.

Long declines are informative in a way short ones are not

A stock down heavily over a month may simply have had a bad month. A stock down heavily over a year has been continuously offered by informed holders across four quarterly results, and the market has had ample time to price in any recovery it expects. That persistence is itself evidence, and it argues against treating the fall as an obvious overreaction.

Where genuine opportunities in this list come from

The exception is deep cyclicals — commodities, real estate, capital goods — where a year of decline can simply be the down phase of a cycle that turns. Those recover with the cycle rather than with anything company-specific. Distinguishing a cyclical trough from structural decline needs the sector context, not the price chart.

Frequently asked questions

Which NSE stocks have fallen the most in the past year?

The table above ranks NSE stocks by 1-year decline with live prices during market hours, alongside the 52-week range and 30-day change so you can see whether the decline is still in progress.

Are the worst performing stocks of last year good contrarian bets?

Long-horizon reversal is a documented effect over three to five years, but it is weak, slow, and concentrated in stocks that survive — which introduces a survivorship problem, since the ones that do not survive are exactly the ones that fall the furthest first. Contrarian investing in this list works when it is backed by a specific view on why the decline ends, and not otherwise.

How do I tell a cyclical downturn from permanent decline?

Look at whether the industry is contracting or the company is losing share within a stable industry. Cyclical troughs show falling prices and margins across all players with demand intact; structural decline shows one company losing ground while peers hold up, or an industry being substituted away entirely.

Momentum screens and value screens disagree by design

Near 52-week high and best 30-day performers select for strength; near 52-week low and worst yearly performers select for weakness. These are not better and worse lists — they are two opposite strategies, and a stock that looks compelling on one will look like a mistake on the other. Decide which approach you are running before you open a screen, because running both at once mostly produces confusion.

Always read the volume column with the price column

A percentage move tells you what happened; volume tells you how many participants agreed. The same 8% gain means something quite different on ten times normal volume than on a few thousand shares, and low-volume moves in illiquid names reverse far more easily than the percentage suggests. This applies to every screen on this page, which is why volume is shown on all of them.

What a screen cannot see

None of these rules know why a stock moved. A fall can be a results miss, a regulatory order, an index exclusion, a block deal, or simply an ex-dividend adjustment that is not a loss at all. Before acting on any name from a screen, the exchange announcements and the latest results usually explain in one minute what the price data cannot explain at all.

Frequently asked questions

What is a stock screener and how do I use one?

A screener applies a rule to every stock in a universe and returns the ones that match — stocks within 5% of a 52-week high, stocks trading at three times normal volume, every constituent of the Nifty Bank index. It narrows 750-plus listed names down to a working shortlist. The screen is the start of the research, not the end of it: it tells you which stocks meet a condition, never whether meeting that condition is a good thing.

Is this stock screener free?

Yes. All 22 screens are free, need no login, and run on live NSE prices during market hours. There is no row limit and no delayed-data tier.

How often do the screens update?

Screens are rebuilt from live NSE prices through the trading session, so a stock can enter or leave a screen intraday as prices move. Screens based on longer windows — 30-day and 1-year performance — shift more slowly, since a single session moves a twelve-month return very little.

Which stock screen should I start with?

It depends on which direction you are working from. If you want to know what the market is doing right now, start with top gainers, top losers or most active. If you are looking for setups over days or weeks, near 52-week high and best 30-day performers are the usual momentum starting points. If you already know the sector you want exposure to, the twelve sector screens list every index constituent so you can compare peers side by side.

Can a screener tell me which stocks to buy?

No. A screen surfaces stocks that satisfy a mechanical rule, and mechanical rules have no view on valuation, business quality, management or the reason behind a price move. Two stocks can match the same screen for opposite reasons — one recovering from a cyclical trough, the other beginning a permanent decline. Screens are for generating candidates to research. This is data, not investment advice.
