Why is Oriental Trimex falling/rising?

As of 11-Aug, Oriental Trimex Ltd's stock price is currently at 10.40, reflecting an increase of 0.15 or 1.46%. The stock has been on an upward trend, gaining for the last four consecutive days with a total return of 11.35% during this period. Despite a significant decline of 24.31% over the past month, the company has shown strong performance in the last two quarters, with net sales growing by 417.18% and a higher profit after tax of Rs 6.83 crore. However, the company faces challenges with long-term growth, as indicated by a negative annual growth rate in net sales and operating profit over the last five years, which may temper investor enthusiasm.
In the broader market context, the stock's recent performance contrasts sharply with the Sensex, which has declined by 0.51% over the past week. While Oriental Trimex has outperformed the benchmark in the short term, its long-term performance remains concerning, with a return of -2.35% over the past year compared to the Sensex's gain of 1.13%. The stock's liquidity is adequate, and rising investor participation suggests growing interest, but the company's weak long-term fundamentals and high valuation metrics may pose risks that could affect its future price movements.
