Trust score
Does management behaviour match later outcomes? Claim delivery, forensic breakdown, evidence depth
Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Mixed Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 28th percentile of the scored universe and 24th percentile within Industrials. Main check: cash conversion is weak at 28/100.
Healthy Trust Lite: Promoter pledge is zero. Key concern: Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-11 Cr.
Usable, but needs evidence. Treat guidance with a margin of safety.

How to read this Trust Score
Mixed Trust · low confidenceRead Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.
Forensic breakdown
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.
Trust positives
- ▸Promoter pledge is zero.
- ▸ROCE is 25.8%.
Trust risks
- ▸Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-11 Cr.
- ▸Promoter holding fell 4.7%.
- ▸Only 1 years of positive FCF.
Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
