Why is Andhra Paper falling/rising?

As of 19-Aug, Andhra Paper Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 76.42, reflecting an increase of Rs 1.57 or 2.1%. The stock has shown a positive performance today, outperforming its sector by 1.55% and marking a consecutive gain over the last two days with a total return of 2.28%. Despite this short-term uptick, the stock has experienced a decline of 7.13% over the past month and a significant drop of 19.38% year-to-date. The company has a low debt-to-equity ratio, which is a positive factor, but it has also reported negative results for the last seven consecutive quarters, leading to poor long-term growth prospects. The operating profit has decreased at an annual rate of -16.58% over the last five years, and the stock is trading at a premium compared to its peers, which may deter long-term investors.
In the broader market context, Andhra Paper's recent short-term performance of +2.17% over the past week has outpaced the Sensex, which has gained +1.76% in the same period. However, the stock has consistently underperformed against the benchmark over the last three years, with a return of -28.31% in the past year compared to the Sensex's +1.52%. This consistent underperformance, coupled with declining profits and negative operating cash flow, suggests that while there may be short-term gains, the long-term outlook remains challenging for Andhra Paper Ltd.
