As of 20-Aug, Andhra Paper Ltd's stock price is declining at 76.20, down 0.29%, with significant underperformance over the past year and negative financial results for seven consecutive quarters.

As of 20-Aug, Andhra Paper Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at 76.20, reflecting a decrease of 0.22 or 0.29%. The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.55% today and has shown a trend reversal after two consecutive days of gains. Its performance over the past week is slightly positive at +1.20%, but it has significantly underperformed over the longer term, with a 1-month return of -7.40% and a year-to-date decline of -19.61%. The stock's delivery volume has also decreased by 49.53% compared to the 5-day average, indicating falling investor participation. Additionally, the company has reported negative results for the last seven consecutive quarters, with an operating profit decline of -16.58% over the past five years, contributing to its weak performance.

In the broader market context, while the Sensex has gained 1.64% over the past week, Andhra Paper's short-term performance has lagged behind, highlighting its consistent underperformance against the benchmark. The stock has generated a return of -31.35% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's positive return of 1.31%. This underperformance is compounded by the company's low return on equity of 4.3 and a high valuation relative to its peers, which suggests that the stock is trading at a premium despite its declining profits. Overall, the combination of poor financial results, declining investor interest, and significant underperformance against market benchmarks is contributing to the stock's current downward movement.
