Why is Aarti Surfactant falling/rising?

As of 12-Aug, Aarti Surfactants Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at 465.05, which reflects a decrease of 14.85 points or 3.09%. The stock has been underperforming significantly, having fallen 17.6% over the past week and 16.04% over the past month. It has also touched an intraday low of Rs 460.1, indicating a persistent downward trend as it has been losing for the last five days. Despite some positive financial results reported in June, including a higher PAT and net sales, the stock's overall performance has been hampered by a -27.05% return over the past year and a -30.2% decline in profits, contributing to its weak long-term fundamental strength.
In the broader market context, Aarti Surfactants has consistently underperformed against the benchmark, with a -17.60% return over the past week compared to a mere -0.59% decline in the Sensex. This trend of underperformance extends over the last three years, where the stock has generated negative returns while the benchmark has seen positive growth. The stock's liquidity appears adequate, but the high Debt to EBITDA ratio and weak operating profit growth further exacerbate investor concerns, leading to a lack of confidence in the stock's recovery potential.
