Additionally, there has been a decline in investor participation, with delivery volume dropping by 9.06% against the 5-day average. Over the past year, the stock has generated a return of -30.51%, while its profits have decreased by 11.4%, contributing to a perception of weakness.

In the broader market context, Astral's short-term performance has been worse than the benchmark, with a 1-week return of -4.32% compared to the Sensex's -2.34%. Despite having a high management efficiency with a return on equity (ROE) of 18.04% and a low debt-to-equity ratio, the company has faced negative results, including a significant drop in profit after tax and a low return on capital employed. These factors, combined with the stock's expensive valuation relative to its peers, have led to a lack of confidence among investors, contributing to its recent decline.
