Why is Quick Heal Tech falling/rising?

As of 22-Jul, Quick Heal Technologies Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 347.60, which reflects a decrease of Rs 2.25 or 0.64%. The stock has been underperforming, having fallen consecutively for the last four days, resulting in a total decline of 11.77% during this period. Although the stock opened with a gain of 3.16% today and reached an intraday high of Rs 360.9, it has still underperformed its sector by 0.42%. Over the past week, the stock has decreased by 8.67%, and its year-to-date performance shows a significant drop of 47.13%. The company's financial health is concerning, with negative growth in net sales and operating profit over the last five years, alongside a negative EBITDA, which contributes to its current weak performance.
In the broader market context, the stock's short-term return has significantly lagged behind the benchmark, with the Sensex only declining by 0.47% over the same week. This stark contrast highlights the stock's struggles, as it has underperformed the market considerably over the past year, generating a return of -42.25% compared to the BSE500's positive return of 0.99%. The company's low debt-to-equity ratio and rising investor participation, indicated by a 221.8% increase in delivery volume, suggest some potential for recovery; however, the overall negative sentiment surrounding its financial results and long-term growth prospects continues to weigh heavily on the stock.
