Why is Paushak falling/rising?

As of 25-Jul, Paushak Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 5,251.00, reflecting a decline of Rs 109.00, or 2.03%. The stock has been underperforming, having fallen consecutively for the last four days, resulting in an overall decline of 8.79% during this period. Today's performance shows that it underperformed its sector by 1.98%, with a day’s low of Rs 5,125.05, indicating significant selling pressure. Additionally, the stock's returns over the past week and year have been negative, with a 1-week return of -6.38% and a 1-year return of -5.90%. The company has also shown poor long-term growth, with net sales and operating profit growth rates of only 8.87% and 3.06% over the last five years, respectively. The negative financial indicators, such as a decline in PAT and low ROCE, further contribute to the stock's downward movement.
In the broader market context, Paushak's recent performance contrasts sharply with the benchmark, as it has underperformed the Sensex, which has seen a minor decline of only 0.36% over the same week. The stock's consistent underperformance against the benchmark over the last three years, coupled with a lack of domestic mutual fund investment, suggests a lack of confidence in its future prospects. The stock's valuation appears expensive relative to its returns, with a price-to-book value of 3.5, and its profits have decreased by 9.2% over the past year. This combination of factors indicates that investor sentiment is currently negative, contributing to the stock's decline.
