Shakti Pumps: Why Stock Is Falling Despite Strong Orders? Google Trends Reveal the Truth
Shakti Pumps India Ltd (SHAKTIPUMP) is under the spotlight again—but this time not for soaring gains. Despite recent government orders and good Q1 FY26 results, the stock has dropped over 8% and Google search interest has declined by over 50% in the past month.
