Why is Juniper Hotels falling/rising?

As of 02-Sep, Juniper Hotels Ltd is currently priced at 287.20, reflecting an increase of 1.55 (0.54%). The stock has been gaining for the last two days, with a total return of 2.48% during this period. However, it has underperformed its sector by 0.33% today. The stock's performance over the past week shows a slight decline of 0.28%, while it has increased by 0.44% over the past month. Despite the recent gains, the stock has a troubling long-term performance, with a year-to-date decline of 16.99% and a one-year return of -31.41%. Positive factors include a healthy long-term growth rate in net sales and consistent positive results over the last six quarters, but these are overshadowed by a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.59 times and low profitability, as indicated by a Return on Equity of only 1.76%.
In the broader market context, Juniper Hotels' recent performance contrasts with the Sensex, which has shown a slight decline of 0.78% over the past week and a modest increase of 2.58% year-to-date. While the stock has managed to gain in the short term, it remains significantly below the benchmark's performance over the longer term, particularly with a -31.41% return compared to the Sensex's -2.91% over the past year. This underperformance, coupled with falling investor participation and liquidity concerns, suggests that while there may be short-term gains, the overall outlook for Juniper Hotels remains challenging.
