Why is Rail Vikas falling/rising?

As of 02-Sep, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 331.80, reflecting an increase of Rs 16.1 or 5.1%. The stock has shown a positive performance today, outperforming its sector by 4.91% and achieving a consecutive gain over the last two days with a total return of 9.58%. Despite this short-term rise, the stock has experienced a significant decline over the past year, with a return of -44.81%. Key financial indicators reveal that the company's net sales and profit after tax have fallen sharply, indicating poor long-term growth prospects. Additionally, the stock is trading at a discount compared to its peers, but the low participation from domestic mutual funds suggests a lack of confidence in its valuation.
In the broader market context, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd has outperformed the Sensex in the short term, with a 1-week return of +6.07% compared to the benchmark's -0.78%. However, the stock has underperformed significantly over the longer term, with a year-to-date decline of -21.50% against the Sensex's modest gain of +2.58%. This stark contrast highlights the challenges the company faces despite its size and market position, as it has not only lagged behind the market but also suffered substantial losses relative to its peers.
