Why is Excel Industries falling/rising?

As of 01-Jul, Excel Industries Ltd's stock price is rising, currently at 1,281.75, reflecting an increase of 26.95 (2.15%). The stock has shown a positive trend today, outperforming its sector by 1.1% and reversing a two-day decline. It reached an intraday high of Rs 1286.1, indicating strong buying interest. Over the past week, the stock has gained 3.26%, and over the past month, it has risen by 10.64%. Despite a significant profit increase of 401.2% over the past year, the company has faced challenges, such as a declining operating profit growth rate of -4.32% over the last five years and low domestic mutual fund interest, which may affect investor confidence.
In the broader market context, Excel Industries has outperformed the Sensex, which has increased by 2.00% over the past week, while the stock itself has gained 3.26%. This positive short-term performance contrasts with the stock's year-to-date return of 0.06%, which lags behind the Sensex's 7.11% increase. The stock's attractive valuation, with a Price to Book Value of 1 and a low Debt to Equity ratio, supports its recent price rise. However, the falling investor participation, as indicated by a 20.84% drop in delivery volume, suggests caution among investors, potentially limiting future price gains.
