Why is Universal Starch falling/rising?

As of 10-Jul, Universal Starch Chem Allied Ltd's stock price is currently at Rs 169.00, reflecting a decrease of Rs 1.0 or 0.59%. Today, the stock opened with a gain of 2.94%, reaching an intraday high of Rs 175 before falling to a low of Rs 161, indicating significant volatility. The stock has outperformed its sector by 0.77% today, and there has been a notable increase in delivery volume, which rose by 16.88% compared to the 5-day average. Despite these positive indicators, the stock has faced challenges, including a substantial decline of 24.10% over the past year and a weak long-term fundamental strength, with a poor EBIT to Interest ratio of 1.79. The company's profits have also fallen by 62.6%, contributing to a negative perception among investors.
In the broader market context, the stock has shown a short-term return of 0.51% over the past week, while the benchmark Sensex has slightly declined by 0.06%. However, over the last month, Universal Starch has outperformed the Sensex, gaining 3.49% compared to the benchmark's 0.97% increase. Despite these short-term gains, the stock's long-term performance remains concerning, with underperformance against the BSE500 over the last three years and a significant drop in returns over the past year. This combination of short-term volatility and long-term challenges suggests that while there may be some positive movements, the overall outlook for Universal Starch Chem Allied Ltd remains cautious.
