Why is Vardhman Acrylic falling/rising?

As of 25-Jul, Vardhman Acrylics Ltd is currently priced at 50.15, reflecting a decrease of 0.2, or 0.4%. The stock has shown a performance today that outperformed its sector by 2.47%. However, it has experienced a decline of 3.78% over the past week and a significant drop of 21.26% over the last year. The stock's delivery volume has fallen sharply by 55.14% against the 5-day average, indicating a decrease in investor participation. Additionally, the company has reported poor long-term growth, with net sales declining at an annual rate of 0.67% and operating profit plummeting by 159.59% over the last five years. The negative results from the latest six months, including a 61.47% decrease in PAT and the lowest recorded ROCE at 6.83%, further contribute to the stock's downward pressure.
In the broader market context, Vardhman Acrylics has underperformed the benchmark Sensex, which has gained 5.04% year-to-date, while the stock itself has declined by 7.04% in the same period. Although the stock has outperformed the sector today, its longer-term performance remains concerning, especially given its consistent underperformance against the benchmark over the last three years. The stock's risky nature, as indicated by negative operating profits and a significant drop in profits over the past year, suggests that investors may be cautious, contributing to the stock's current decline.
