Why is Juniper Hotels falling/rising?

As of 27-Jun, Juniper Hotels Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 284.55, reflecting a decrease of Rs 3.85 or 1.33%. The stock has experienced a trend reversal, falling after two consecutive days of gains, and it touched an intraday low of Rs 280.25. In the past week, the stock has declined by 4.05%, and over the last month, it has fallen by 8.77%. Despite showing healthy long-term growth with a net sales increase of 38.40% and a significant operating profit growth of 102.73%, the company faces challenges such as a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.59 times, indicating low ability to service debt. Additionally, institutional investor participation has decreased, which may contribute to negative sentiment around the stock.
In the broader market context, Juniper Hotels has significantly underperformed compared to the benchmark Sensex, which has gained 2.00% over the past week and 3.07% over the past month. The stock's year-to-date return stands at -17.76%, while the Sensex has increased by 7.58% in the same period. This stark contrast highlights the stock's struggles, particularly as it has generated a return of -33.19% over the past year, while the market has seen positive returns. The declining participation from institutional investors, who typically have more resources to analyze company fundamentals, further exacerbates the stock's downward pressure.
