52-week low stocks on 04 December 2025 | Stockyaari

The market does not always look dangerous on the surface, but inside, a lot can be happening. On 4 December 2025, this is exactly what we see. The main indices are not in a crash, but many individual stocks are moving close to their 52-week lows.

If you opened your watchlist today and saw red, you may have asked yourself, “The market looks okay, so why is my stock falling so much?”

This blog is here to answer that question in simple language, using real data from today’s session.

First, let us understand what a 52-week low means. A 52-week low is the lowest price at which a stock has traded in the last twelve months. Think of it as the “bottom point” for that stock in one full year. If a stock has moved between ₹100 and ₹180 in the last year, then ₹100 is the 52-week low and ₹180 is the 52-week high.

When a stock comes very close to its 52-week low, it tells us that the price has already fallen a lot from higher levels and that traders and investors are not very excited about it right now. But this does not always mean the company is bad.

It may be facing a short-term problem, or the whole sector may be going through a slow phase. On 4 December 2025, many stocks are trading near their 52-week lows. For example,

All these prices are approximate and can change during the trading day, but they clearly show that these stocks are under pressure.

What does this tell us about the market mood? One key point is that weakness is spread across many different sectors. We see chemicals and industrials such as BASF, Deepak Nitrite and Praj Industries.

We see infra- and construction-linked stocks such as KNR Construct, NCC and Transformers. We see utilities and power like SJVN. There are also consumer and FMCG names like Jyothy Labs, Colgate and CG Consumer, along with pharma and healthcare through Piramal Pharma and Cohance Life.

Finolex Cables adds a flavour of the electrical and industrial theme, while Ola Electric brings in the new-age mobility angle. This mix tells us the weakness is not locked into just one niche; it is spread across different parts of the market.

Another important point is that even well-known brands and strong names can be at or near their 52-week lows. Colgate is a brand that sits in almost every Indian bathroom. Deepak Nitrite and BASF are widely discussed in the chemicals theme.

Finolex Cables and NCC are common names for investors who follow infra and cables. When such stocks trade near their yearly lows, it reminds us that no stock is permanently safe from corrections. Even good companies can go through bad patches because of earnings pressure, sector cycles, or changes in sentiment.

As an investor, how should you react when you see your stock on a 52-week low list? The first step is to avoid panic. A falling price looks scary, but a quick emotional decision often creates more damage than the fall itself. Instead, use this moment as a signal to review the business, not just the price.

Ask a few simple questions:

• Is the company still making decent profit?
• Are sales growing over the last few years, or are they shrinking?
• Has debt increased sharply, or is it under control?
• Have there been any big changes in the industry, like new rules, lower demand, or more competitors?

If the company is still doing well, and the price fall is mainly because of short-term fear, global news, or temporary sector pressure, a 52-week low can be a good time to study that stock more closely.On the other hand, if profits are falling again and again, or if debt is going up fast, the low price can be a warning that something deeper is wrong.

It is also useful to look at the price history, not only today’s move. Check how the stock has behaved over the last one to three years. Was there a huge rally before this fall, or has the stock been slowly drifting down for a long time? A gradual fall for many months may point to long-term problems in the business or the sector. A sharp fall after a big rally may simply be profit booking or a normal correction phase.

Another smart step is to compare these stocks with others in the same sector. If many chemical stocks are near 52-week lows along with BASF and Deepak Nitrite, the issue could be sector-wide. If only one cable stock is weak while other cable names are doing fine, then the issue might be specific to Finolex Cables. This simple peer check helps you understand whether the pain is due to the company alone, the overall sector, or the broader market.

Finally, even if you feel a stock at a 52-week low looks cheap, it is very important to respect your risk.

• Don’t put a big chunk of your money into just one stock that has fallen a lot.
• Avoid buying more and more of it again and again without checking the company properly.
• If you decide to invest, have a clear plan and invest in small, careful steps, especially if you are investing for the long term.

How your overall money is divided across different assets, how much risk you can handle, and how long you want to stay invested are all more important than the excitement of getting a “cheap” price.

In the end, the list of stocks at their 52-week lows on 4 December 2025 is more than just a set of numbers. This image captures the concealed tension within the market. The index may look calm, but many names, including popular ones, are facing pressure. This does not mean you should lose hope. It simply means you should respond with calm thinking instead of fear.
