Why is Colgate-Palmoliv falling/rising?

As of 26-Aug, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd is currently priced at 2,284.40, reflecting a slight increase of 0.5 (0.02%). The stock has shown a trend reversal, gaining after three consecutive days of decline. However, it has underperformed its sector by 1% today, and the delivery volume has decreased by 19.11% compared to the 5-day average, indicating falling investor participation. Over the past week, the stock has gained 0.56%, while it has outperformed the benchmark Sensex, which has declined by 1.05%. Despite a strong long-term fundamental strength with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 74.04% and low debt levels, the stock's performance has been hindered by negative quarterly results, including a 10.7% drop in PAT and the lowest net sales recorded.
In the broader market context, while Colgate-Palmolive has shown a positive return of 3.13% over the past month, it has significantly lagged behind the Sensex, which has increased by 3.39% year-to-date. The stock's long-term performance has also been disappointing, with a 36.34% decline over the past year compared to the benchmark's modest drop of 1.12%. This underperformance, coupled with high valuation metrics and a low Debtors Turnover Ratio, suggests that despite some positive indicators, the stock's recent movements are influenced by a combination of weak financial results and overall market conditions.
