Why is Deccan Healthcar falling/rising?

As of 08-Oct, Deccan Health Care Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 17.03, reflecting a decline of Rs 1.02 or 5.65%. The stock has been on a downward trend, having underperformed its sector by 4.99% today and experiencing a consecutive fall over the last four days, resulting in a total drop of 13.25% in that period. The stock has shown high volatility, trading within a wide range of Rs 1.78 today, with a significant portion of trading volume occurring near its low price. Despite some positive indicators such as a high inventory turnover ratio and net sales, the stock's long-term fundamentals are weak, evidenced by a low return on equity and poor debt servicing ability, contributing to its recent price decline.
In the broader market context, Deccan Health Care Ltd has significantly underperformed against the benchmark, with a year-to-date return of -41.78% compared to the Sensex's gain of 4.65%. Over the past three years, the stock has consistently lagged behind the benchmark, indicating a persistent trend of underperformance. While there was a slight increase in investor participation recently, the overall sentiment remains negative due to the company's weak financial fundamentals and inability to generate positive returns relative to the market.
