Why is Kothari Sugars falling/rising?

As of 19-Sep, Kothari Sugars & Chemicals Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at 32.55, reflecting a decrease of 0.29 or 0.88%. The stock has underperformed its sector today by 0.75%, despite having a higher delivery volume that increased by 86.86% compared to the 5-day average. Over the past week, the stock has shown a positive return of 2.68%, but it has significantly underperformed over the longer term, with a year-to-date return of -25.77% and a one-year return of -40.24%. The company has reported negative results for the last six consecutive quarters, with net sales declining at an annual rate of -3.98% and operating profit plummeting by 170.40% over the last five years, contributing to a perception of poor long-term growth.
In the broader market context, the Sensex has gained 0.85% over the past week, indicating that Kothari Sugars' short-term performance is lagging behind the benchmark. While the stock has shown some resilience in the short term, its long-term performance remains concerning, particularly given its negative operating profits and low return on capital employed (ROCE) of 4.13%. The stock's historical valuations suggest it is trading at a risky level, and with a significant drop in profits over the past year, investor sentiment appears to be cautious, leading to the current decline in stock price.
