Why is Juniper Hotels falling/rising?

As of 24-Jul, Juniper Hotels Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 319.20, which reflects a decrease of Rs 2.4 or 0.75%. The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.81% today and has fallen after two consecutive days of gains. It touched an intraday low of Rs 315.05, representing a drop of 2.04%. Over the past week, the stock has decreased by 2.12%, while it has shown a significant increase of 11.80% over the past month. However, the stock has faced a substantial decline of 24.82% over the past year, indicating a consistent underperformance against the benchmark. The company has reported healthy long-term growth with net sales increasing at an annual rate of 38.40%, but it also faces challenges such as a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.59 times, which raises concerns about its ability to service debt.
In the broader market context, the Sensex has shown a minimal decline of 0.09% over the past week, contrasting with Juniper Hotels' sharper decline. The stock's performance has been notably poor over the last three years, consistently underperforming the benchmark, which has gained 46.57% during that period. Despite the company's positive financial results in recent quarters, including a net profit growth of 69.13%, the high valuation metrics and low return on equity suggest that investor confidence may be waning. The significant drop in delivery volume by 51.36% against the five-day average further indicates falling investor participation, contributing to the stock's downward movement.
