Why is AVT Natural Prod falling/rising?

As of 04-Aug, AVT Natural Products Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 74.06, reflecting a decrease of 1.81 (-2.39%). The stock has been underperforming, having fallen for the last two consecutive days with a total drop of 2.85% during this period. Despite a positive return of 11.96% over the past month, the stock has generated a negative return of 15.21% over the last year, indicating a consistent underperformance against the benchmark. Factors contributing to this decline include negative results reported for the last five consecutive quarters, a low return on capital employed, and a high debt-equity ratio, which may deter investor confidence. Additionally, the stock is trading at a premium compared to its peers, despite its profits falling by 9.5%.
In the broader market context, the stock's recent performance contrasts with the Sensex, which has shown a modest increase of 0.16% over the past week. While AVT Natural Products Ltd has outperformed the benchmark in the short term with a 2.80% gain over the last week, its long-term performance remains concerning, particularly with a 3-year return of -18.03% compared to the Sensex's gain of 38.97%. The lack of domestic mutual fund investment, which stands at 0%, further highlights the market's cautious stance towards the company, suggesting that institutional investors may not be comfortable with the current valuation or business outlook.
