Why is Shoppers Stop falling/rising?

As of 05-Sep, Shoppers Stop Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 542.35, reflecting an increase of Rs 4.05 or 0.75%. The stock has shown a positive performance today, outperforming its sector by 1.49% and reaching an intraday high of Rs 550.6, which is a 2.28% increase. Over the past week, the stock has gained 0.65%, while it has risen by 3.36% over the last month. Despite this recent uptick, the stock has experienced a significant decline of 34.68% over the past year, with profits falling by 60.3%. The company's high debt levels, indicated by a debt-equity ratio of 10.27, and weak long-term growth prospects have contributed to its underperformance compared to the market.
In the broader market context, the Sensex has increased by 1.13% over the past week, indicating that while Shoppers Stop's stock has shown some short-term resilience, it still lags behind the benchmark. The stock's year-to-date performance is notably poor, with a decline of 10.18% compared to the Sensex's gain of 3.29%. The high institutional holdings at 28.57% suggest that knowledgeable investors are monitoring the stock closely, but the overall negative sentiment due to weak fundamentals and high debt may overshadow the recent positive price movement.
