Technicals

Trend interpretation, Stage 2, relative strength, volume and indicator evidence

Daily technical trend read

Bearish setup

Trend is weak — long-term trend down. RSI 35.

  • Price below SMA200 (long-term downtrend) — short-term bounces likely countertrend.
  • SMA20 falling (~3.1% over last month) — short-term momentum negative.
  • RSI(14) at 35 — falling, no extreme reading.
  • MACD below signal, histogram expanding negatively — bearish momentum building.
  • 22% off 52W high · 19% 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.

Blended valuation: PE, EV/EBITDA, FCF yield, and balance-sheet checks

For this sector, IndiaPulse uses a blended lens rather than relying on a single valuation ratio.

Primary lens
PE, EV/EBITDA, margin of safety, and FCF yield together.
Secondary checks

Management commentary snapshot

IndiGo reported a net loss of INR 2,380 million in Q1 FY27, a significant reversal from a profit of INR 21,763 million YoY, driven by an 85.7% surge in fuel costs and a 34.4% increase in total expenses, despite an 18.9% rise in total income.

The company's profitability is under severe pressure, evidenced by the swing to a net loss and a substantial decline in EBITDAR margin. While revenue and yield growth are positive, they are insufficient to offset the sharp increase in fuel expenses and other operating costs, exacerbated by currency depreciation.

ASK increased by 2.9% YoY and Closing Aircraft increased by 16 to 432 in Q1'27.

Average Exchange Rate (INR/USD) depreciated by 11.4% YoY to 95.02, contributing to higher costs.

Forex Losses

Foreign exchange (gain)/ loss (net) was a loss of INR 825 million in Q1'27, compared to a gain in Q1'26.

Risk radar

Management accountability

Issuer guidance and extracted claims are tracked against later reported outcomes. Treat these as management statements, not IndiaPulse forecasts.

Trust Score
55Limited evidence · low confidenceTrust Lite

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

Limited evidence: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 16th percentile of the scored universe and 14th percentile within Services. Main check: balance sheet trust is weak at 26/100.

This is a financial-behaviour screen, not a claim-tested management reliability verdict.

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
Needs extra due diligence; demand valuation comfort and recent improvement.

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.
