Why is Juniper Hotels falling/rising?

As of 23-Jul, Juniper Hotels Ltd is experiencing a slight increase in its stock price, currently at 321.60, with a change of 0.05 (0.02%) upward. The stock has been gaining for the last two days, showing a return of 0.78% during this period. It is trading above its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a positive trend. Additionally, there has been a significant rise in investor participation, with delivery volume increasing by 223.45% against the 5-day average. Despite a year-to-date decline of 7.05% and a one-year drop of 23.28%, the company has reported strong growth in net sales and operating profit, with a net profit increase of 69.13% in its latest results, contributing to a generally positive sentiment around the stock.
In the broader market context, Juniper Hotels has outperformed the Sensex in the short term, with a 1-week return of 1.52% compared to the benchmark's 0.11%. However, the stock has consistently underperformed against the benchmark over the last three years. While the company has shown healthy long-term growth, it faces challenges such as a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.59 times and a low return on equity of 1.76%, which may raise concerns among investors. The stock's expensive valuation, indicated by a high enterprise value to capital employed ratio, further complicates its outlook, despite the recent positive performance metrics.
