Why is Kakatiya Cement falling/rising?

As of 23-Jun, Kakatiya Cement Sugar & Industries Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 163.05, reflecting a decrease of Rs 2.0 or 1.21%. The stock has underperformed its sector by 1.16% today, with an intraday high of Rs 170 and a low of Rs 161.05. Over the past week, the stock has shown a positive return of 5.60%, but it has significantly underperformed on a year-to-date basis with a decline of 12.43%. The company has reported operating losses and has declared negative results for the last four consecutive quarters, which has contributed to its weak long-term fundamental strength. The company's ability to service its debt is also concerning, with a poor EBIT to Interest ratio of 1.68 and a low return on equity of 1.87%, indicating low profitability.
In the broader market context, Kakatiya Cement's short-term performance of +5.60% over the past week contrasts with the Sensex, which has only increased by 0.12%. However, the stock's long-term performance is troubling, with a 1-year return of -28.03%, significantly lagging behind the Sensex's gain of 6.07% over the same period. This consistent underperformance against the benchmark over the last three years, coupled with declining sales and profitability, suggests that investor sentiment remains negative, contributing to the stock's current downward trajectory.
