The company has high institutional holdings at 20.82%, which may provide some stability, but it also faces weak long-term fundamentals, including a low return on equity (ROE) of 4.68% and a concerning EBIT to interest ratio of 1.99.

In the broader market context, the Sensex has shown a positive return of 1.76% over the past week and a 4.49% increase year-to-date, indicating that the overall market is performing better than Orchid Pharma. While the stock has experienced a slight uptick recently, it remains significantly below the benchmark's performance over the past year, where the market has only declined by 0.91%. The company's recent negative financial results, including a 19.64% drop in operating profit and three consecutive quarters of negative results, contribute to its weak long-term outlook, further exacerbating its underperformance relative to the market.
