Why is Porwal Auto Comp falling/rising?

As of 19-Sep, Porwal Auto Components Ltd's stock price is currently at 63.29, reflecting an increase of 1.02 or 1.64%. Today's price summary indicates that the stock has outperformed its sector by 1.53% and has experienced a trend reversal, gaining after two consecutive days of decline. The stock opened with a gain of 3.16% today and reached an intraday high of Rs 64.24. Over the past month, the stock has shown a significant return of 15.14%, while its year-to-date performance stands at 10.84%. However, it is important to note that the stock's delivery volume has decreased by 39.31% compared to the 5-day average, indicating falling investor participation. Despite a positive PAT of Rs 2.73 Cr for the last nine months and a fair valuation compared to peers, the stock has faced challenges with a 56.4% decline in profits over the past year.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term performance of +0.13% over the past week is lagging behind the benchmark Sensex, which has increased by 0.88%. While Porwal Auto Components has consistently outperformed the BSE500 over the last three years, its long-term fundamental strength is considered weak, as indicated by an average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 4.18% and a poor EBIT to Interest ratio of 1.29. These factors contribute to a mixed outlook for the stock, as it trades at a discount to its peers but also faces significant challenges in terms of profitability and debt servicing.
