As of 14-Jul, Universal Starch Chem Allied Ltd is experiencing a decline in its stock price, currently at Rs 165.00, which reflects a decrease of Rs 1.45 or 0.87%. The stock has been underperforming, having fallen consecutively for the last three days, resulting in a total decline of 2.94% during this period. Additionally, the stock is trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. The stock has also shown weak performance over the past year, with a return of -26.34%, and its profits have decreased significantly by 62.6%. Despite some positive quarterly results, such as a substantial growth in profit before tax and profit after tax, the overall long-term fundamentals appear weak, particularly with a poor EBIT to interest ratio.

In the broader market context, the stock's short-term performance has been slightly better than the benchmark, with a 1-week return of -1.20% compared to the Sensex's -1.42%. However, the stock has underperformed the benchmark over longer periods, including a 5.71% decline year-to-date versus a 5.27% increase in the Sensex. This underperformance, coupled with a significant drop in investor participation and liquidity concerns, suggests a lack of confidence among investors. Overall, the combination of declining stock performance, weak fundamentals, and poor long-term growth prospects contributes to the stock's downward movement.
