Why is AVT Natural Prod falling/rising?

As of 14-Jul, AVT Natural Products Ltd is experiencing a price increase, currently at Rs 68.04, reflecting a rise of 1.36 or 2.04%. The stock has shown a positive performance today, outperforming its sector by 1.14% and achieving a consecutive gain over the last two days with a total return of 2.07%. Despite this recent uptick, the stock has underperformed significantly over the longer term, with a year-to-date decline of 9.22% and a one-year drop of 23.43%. The company has a low Debt to Equity ratio and an attractive valuation with a return on equity of 9.5%, but it has faced negative results for the last five consecutive quarters, contributing to a lack of investor confidence.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term return of 1.95% over the past week contrasts sharply with the Sensex, which has declined by 1.42% during the same period. This suggests that while AVT Natural Products Ltd is currently gaining traction, it has consistently underperformed against the benchmark over the last three years, with a significant annual return deficit. The lack of domestic mutual fund investment, holding only 0% of the company, further indicates a cautious sentiment among institutional investors regarding the stock's long-term growth potential.
