Daily technical trend read
Bearish setupTrend is weak — long-term trend down. RSI 43.
- Price below SMA200 (long-term downtrend) — short-term bounces likely countertrend.
- SMA20 rising (~2.0% over last month) — short-term momentum positive.
- RSI(14) at 43 — falling, no extreme reading.
- MACD below signal, histogram expanding negatively — bearish momentum building.
- 33% off 52W high · 38% 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.

Sector valuation model
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
ROE/ROCE, growth, cash conversion, leverage, promoter risk.
Main risk check
One cheap metric is not enough if quality or cash flow is weak.

Trust Score
67Limited 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 52nd percentile of the scored universe and 50th percentile within Industrials. Main check: results consistency is weak at 27/100.
This is a financial-behaviour screen, not a claim-tested management reliability verdict.

How to read this Trust Score
Limited evidence · low confidenceWhat 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 64.9%.

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