Why is Unichem Labs. falling/rising?

As of 07-Nov, Unichem Laboratories Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs. 461.50, which represents a decrease of Rs. 7.75 or 1.65%. The stock has hit a new 52-week low of Rs. 455 today and has underperformed its sector by 1.31%. Over the past three days, the stock has consistently fallen, accumulating a total decline of 2.73%. In terms of returns, Unichem has seen a significant drop of 47.89% over the past year, while it has also underperformed the benchmark indices over various time frames, including a 2.45% decline over the past month compared to a 1.57% increase in the Sensex. Despite a low debt-to-equity ratio and a substantial increase in profits, the company's low return on equity of 1.64% and poor management efficiency are contributing to its negative performance.
In the broader market context, Unichem's short-term performance is notably worse than the benchmark, with a 1-week return of -1.76% compared to the Sensex's -0.86%. This underperformance is compounded by the company's flat results in the recent quarter, which showed a significant drop in profit after tax. Although there has been a rise in investor participation, as indicated by a 52.31% increase in delivery volume, the overall sentiment remains negative due to the company's inability to generate satisfactory returns for shareholders and its continued decline in stock price.
