Why is NCL Industries falling/rising?

As of 26-Jun, NCL Industries Ltd's stock price is currently at 228.15, reflecting an increase of 2.5, or 1.11%. The stock has been gaining for the last two days, with a total return of 1.35% during this period. It has also touched an intraday high of Rs 231.75, indicating positive momentum. Despite this, the stock has underperformed its sector by 0.54% today. Over the past week, NCL Industries has shown a strong performance with a return of 9.77%, although it has a year-to-date return of only 4.39%. The company's low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.38 times suggests a strong ability to service debt, and its attractive valuation compared to peers may support its recent price increase. However, the stock's profits have fallen significantly by 69% over the past year, contributing to a negative one-year return of -5.84%.
In the broader market context, NCL Industries' short-term performance has outpaced the benchmark Sensex, which has returned 2.94% over the past week. While the stock's recent gains are notable, the overall market sentiment appears to be more favorable, as indicated by the Sensex's higher year-to-date return of 7.19%. The stock's liquidity is also sufficient for trading, with a delivery volume increase of 35.02% against the five-day average, suggesting rising investor participation. However, the stock's long-term performance remains a concern, as it has underperformed the benchmark over one year and three years, which may temper investor enthusiasm despite the recent price rise.
