Why is JK Lakshmi Cem. falling/rising?

As of 16-Jul, JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at 969.60, down by 6.9 points or 0.71%. The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.6% today, despite being only 3.88% away from its 52-week high of Rs 1007.25. Over the past week, the stock has seen a slight decrease of 1.05%, but it has shown a strong performance over the past month with an increase of 18.31%. The company has reported a high management efficiency with a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 18.24% and a low debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.26 times, indicating a strong ability to service debt. However, the stock's profits have fallen by 35.8% over the past year, which may contribute to the current price decline.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term performance is slightly better than the benchmark Sensex, which has decreased by 1.08% over the same week. Despite the recent decline, JK Lakshmi Cement has outperformed the BSE500 over the last three years, one year, and three months, indicating a strong long-term market position. The stock's liquidity remains adequate, with a delivery volume that has increased by 20.79% against the five-day average, suggesting rising investor participation. However, the poor long-term growth, with operating profit declining at an annual rate of -0.46% over the last five years, poses a risk that could be affecting investor sentiment and contributing to the recent price drop.
