Investor decision lenses

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.

Investable fundamentals, management trust is acceptable, price trend supports entry, and recent execution is consistent.

Suggested next step
Research, do not rush
The four lenses are not strongly aligned. Compare peers and wait for a cleaner setup.

Daily technical trend read

Bullish setup

Trend is constructive — long-term uptrend intact. RSI 57.

  • Price > SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200 — full bullish stack.
  • SMA20 rising (~7.2% over last month) — short-term momentum positive.
  • RSI(14) at 57 — sideways, no extreme reading.
  • MACD below signal but histogram contracting — bearish momentum easing.
  • 9% off 52W high · 48% 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
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 56th percentile within Financial Services. Main check: financial discipline is weak at 48/100.

Healthy Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 74.8%. Key concern: Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-358 Cr.

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 74.8%.
  • Promoter pledge is zero.
  • 6 years of positive FCF.
  • Debt/equity is 0.06.

Trust risks

  • Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-358 Cr.
  • Altman Z is 1.77.
  • ROCE is low at 6.3%.

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