Why is Artson falling/rising?

As of 01-Sep, Artson Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 168.00, reflecting an increase of Rs 5.00 or 3.07%. Today's price movement indicates a trend reversal as the stock has gained after two consecutive days of decline. It opened with a gain of 3.07% and reached an intraday high of Rs 170, showcasing a strong performance today. The stock has outperformed its sector by 2.19%. However, despite positive results in net sales and profit after tax growth, the company faces challenges due to high debt levels and a negative EBITDA, which may be contributing to investor caution.
In the broader market context, Artson's short-term performance over the past week shows a decline of 0.59%, while the benchmark Sensex has fallen by 1.56%, indicating that the stock has performed relatively better than the market. Over the past month, Artson's stock has decreased by 6.41%, contrasting with the Sensex's minor decline of 0.29%. The stock's long-term growth prospects appear weak due to a negative annual growth rate in net sales over the last five years, which may deter long-term investors, as evidenced by the low stake held by domestic mutual funds.
