11 penny stocks plunge up to 55% in a month. Should investors worry?

Over the past 1 month, 13 penny stocks have recorded sharp declines, falling between 20% and 55%.

These underperformers were identified through a targeted screening approach focused on stocks with a market cap below Rs 1,000 crore, a share price under Rs 20, and a minimum recent trading volume of 5 lakh shares.

The strategy aims to highlight low-priced, actively traded penny stocks that have experienced significant downside.
