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

Weak fundamentals, management trust is acceptable, price trend is neutral, and recent execution is weak.

Daily technical trend read

Bullish setup

Trend is constructive — long-term uptrend intact. RSI 83.

  • Price > SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200 — full bullish stack.
  • SMA20 rising (~20.9% over last month) — short-term momentum positive.
  • RSI(14) at 83 — overbought zone; risk of mean reversion.
  • MACD above signal, histogram expanding — bullish momentum building.
  • 9% off 52W high · 106% 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 score

Does management behaviour match later outcomes? Claim delivery, forensic breakdown, evidence depth

Trust Score
63Mixed Trust · 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.

Mixed Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 38th percentile of the scored universe and 23rd percentile within Auto. Main check: results consistency is weak at 29/100.

Healthy Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 58.8%. Key concern: 2 latest quarters had PAT decline worse than 25% YoY.

How to read this Trust Score

Mixed 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
Acceptable, but check the weakest sub-score before increasing exposure.

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 holding is 58.8%.
  • Promoter pledge is zero.
  • 7 years of positive FCF.

Trust risks

  • 2 latest quarters had PAT decline worse than 25% YoY.
  • Debt/equity is 1.10.
  • 1/4 latest quarters had positive YoY revenue growth.

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