One read, four checks

75+ is strong, 60-74 is usable, 45-59 is mixed, and below 45 needs caution. These are research lenses, not buy/sell instructions.

Mixed fundamentals, management trust is supportive, price trend argues for patience, and recent execution is consistent.

Daily technical trend read

Bearish setup

Trend is weak — long-term trend down. RSI 39.

  • Price < SMA20 < SMA50 < SMA200 — full bearish stack.
  • SMA20 falling (~1.2% over last month) — short-term momentum negative.
  • RSI(14) at 39 — falling, no extreme reading.
  • MACD below signal, histogram expanding negatively — bearish momentum building.
  • 59% off 52W high · 11% above 52W low.

Mechanical read from the price + indicator series above. Not a recommendation — technical setups can reverse without warning, especially around earnings and macro events.

Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.

Healthy Trust: Management has 100% delivered/partly-delivered outcomes on 1 checked claims. It ranks around the 94th percentile of the scored universe and 96th percentile within Financial Services. No major sub-score weakness stands out.

High Trust Lite: Promoter pledge is zero.

How to read this Trust Score

Healthy Trust · low confidence
What it measures
Reliability of management and financial delivery, using financial behaviour only.
Confidence
Treat this as an early read until more concalls and outcomes are matched.
Investor use
Can support position sizing if valuation and trend also agree.

Read 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.
  • FCF yield is positive at 1.8%.
  • Debt/equity is 0.00.
  • ROCE is 42.9%.

Trust risks

  • No major Trust Lite risk flags.

Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
