Why is Oriental Aromat. falling/rising?

As of 22-Aug, Oriental Aromatics Ltd's stock price is currently at 343.70, reflecting an increase of 9.65 or 2.89%. Today's performance indicates a trend reversal as the stock has gained after two consecutive days of decline, outperforming its sector by 2.2%. The stock reached an intraday high of Rs 345, and there has been a rise in investor participation, with delivery volume increasing by 2.36% compared to the 5-day average. However, despite this short-term gain, the stock has shown a significant decline of 34.87% over the past year, with profits falling by 8.8%. The company's ability to service its debt appears strong, but it has declared negative results for the last two consecutive quarters, contributing to a perception of poor long-term growth.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term return of +4.79% over the past week significantly outperforms the Sensex, which has only increased by 0.88%. However, the stock has consistently underperformed against the benchmark over the last three years, with a -34.87% return compared to a +0.31% return for the Sensex in the same period. This consistent underperformance, coupled with the lack of domestic mutual fund investment, suggests a cautious sentiment among investors regarding the company's future prospects.
