Why is Veranda Learning falling/rising?

As of 04-Aug, Veranda Learning Solutions Ltd is experiencing a price increase, currently at Rs 241.95, which reflects a rise of Rs 9.94 or 4.28%. The stock opened with a gain of 3.44% today and reached an intraday high of Rs 249.9, indicating strong short-term performance. Over the past week, the stock has outperformed the sector by 3.49% and has shown a weekly return of +7.53%. However, despite these short-term gains, the company has faced significant challenges, including a negative return of -19.42% over the past year and a concerning average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 0%. While net sales have grown by 20.17% and the company reported its highest quarterly PAT and EPS, the long-term outlook remains weak due to poor operating profit growth and a high Debt to EBITDA ratio.
In the broader market context, Veranda Learning's recent performance contrasts sharply with the benchmark, as the Sensex has only increased by 0.16% over the past week. The stock's short-term gains are notable, especially given its underperformance in the last year compared to the market, where it fell by a much larger margin than the BSE500's -2.34%. This disparity highlights the stock's volatility and the risks associated with its long-term fundamentals, which may deter some investors despite the recent price rise.
