Why is Aarti Surfactant falling/rising?

As of 19-Sep, Aarti Surfactants Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 490.00, reflecting a decrease of Rs 5.00 or 1.01%. The stock has been underperforming, having fallen consecutively for the last three days, resulting in a total decline of 3.15% during this period. Today's performance shows that it underperformed its sector by 0.68%, and it touched an intraday low of Rs 485. The stock's year-to-date return is notably negative at -23.22%, and it has generated a staggering -42.56% return over the past year. While the company reported positive growth in net sales and profit after tax in the latest six months, the overall financial health is concerning due to a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.84 times and a long-term decline in operating profit.
In the broader market context, Aarti Surfactants' short-term return of +2.50% over the past week contrasts with the Sensex's return of +0.88%, indicating some relative strength in the very short term. However, the stock has consistently underperformed against the benchmark over the last three years, with a significant decline in returns compared to the BSE500. The company's poor long-term growth prospects and high debt levels contribute to a negative sentiment among investors, overshadowing its recent positive financial results. This combination of factors is likely driving the stock's recent price decline.
