Why is Alfred Herbert falling/rising?

As of 24-Sep, Alfred Herbert (India) Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 3,258.65, which represents a decrease of Rs 137.35 or 4.04%. Today's price summary indicates that the stock underperformed its sector by 3.58%, touching an intraday low of Rs 3,226.2, reflecting a drop of 5%. The stock's performance over the past week shows a decline of 4.99%, while it has still managed to generate impressive returns of 111.33% over the past year. Despite positive financial results in recent quarters, including significant growth in net sales and profit after tax, the stock's recent movement is affected by falling investor participation and lower trading volumes.
Broader market context reveals that the Sensex has only declined by 1.18% over the past week, indicating that Alfred Herbert's short-term performance is lagging behind the benchmark. While the company has demonstrated strong long-term performance with a 62.28% increase year-to-date and a remarkable 342.33% rise over three years, the current downward trend may be attributed to short-term volatility and reduced liquidity. The stock's moving averages suggest mixed signals, being higher than the 100-day and 200-day averages but lower than the shorter-term averages, which may further contribute to investor uncertainty.
