Why is Natl. Gen. Inds. falling/rising?

As of 12-Aug, National General Industries Ltd is experiencing a price increase, with the current price at Rs 58.43, reflecting a rise of Rs 2.78 or 5.0%. The stock has shown strong performance recently, gaining 16.63% over the past three days and outperforming its sector by 4.67% today. Despite this positive short-term movement, the company faces significant challenges, including operating losses and a weak ability to service its debt, as indicated by a poor EBIT to Interest ratio of -0.77. Additionally, the company has reported negative returns on capital employed (ROCE) and has consistently underperformed against benchmarks over the last three years, generating a return of -18.90% in the past year.
In the broader market context, while National General Industries Ltd has outperformed its sector in the short term, the benchmark Sensex has declined by 0.59% over the past week and by 2.75% over the past month. The stock's recent gains come amidst a backdrop of declining investor participation, as evidenced by a 49.75% drop in delivery volume compared to the five-day average. This suggests that while the stock is currently rising, it is doing so in a market that is generally underperforming, and the long-term outlook remains uncertain due to the company's ongoing financial difficulties.
