Why is Akzo Nobel falling/rising?

As of 05-Aug, Akzo Nobel India Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 3,687.00, which reflects a decrease of Rs 38.55 or 1.03%. Today's price summary indicates that the stock touched an intraday low of Rs 3,563.6, representing a drop of 4.35%. Despite this, the stock has shown a positive performance over the past month, with a return of 7.59%, and a significant long-term performance with a 19.90% increase over the past year. However, the stock's profits have fallen by 5.9%, and while it has a high management efficiency with a return on equity of 25.77%, the company has shown poor long-term growth with net sales growing at an annual rate of only 12.97% over the last five years.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term return of -1.94% over the past week is underperforming compared to the Sensex, which has decreased by only 0.77%. This suggests that while the stock has outperformed the benchmark in the longer term, its recent performance is lagging. The stock is trading at a premium compared to its peers' average historical valuations, which may be contributing to investor caution. Additionally, the negative results reported in June, including a significant drop in operating cash flow and profit after tax, further exacerbate concerns about the stock's future performance, leading to a cautious sentiment among investors.
