Why is Nucleus Soft. falling/rising?

As of 23-Sep, Nucleus Software Exports Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at 1,018.20, reflecting a decrease of 9.3 points or 0.91%. The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.32% today and has been on a downward trend for the past three days, accumulating a total loss of 3.51%. Over the past week, the stock has fallen by 2.94%, while its one-year return shows a significant decline of 20.91%. Despite having a high return on equity (ROE) of 18.29% and a low debt-to-equity ratio, the company has faced challenges with poor long-term growth, as evidenced by a modest annual growth rate in net sales and operating profit over the last five years. Additionally, recent quarterly results have shown a notable drop in profit before tax and profit after tax compared to previous averages, contributing to the stock's negative performance.
In the broader market context, Nucleus Software has underperformed against the benchmark, with the Sensex showing a slight decline of only 0.34% over the past week, while Nucleus has dropped more significantly. The stock's year-to-date performance is nearly flat at 0.08%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 5.07% in the same period. This disparity highlights the stock's struggles in a generally improving market environment. The company's recent flat results and the significant decline in profits have led to a lack of investor confidence, further exacerbating its underperformance relative to the market.
