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.
Weak fundamentals, while price trend supports entry. This looks more like momentum/speculation than a clean fundamental investment setup.
Fundamental lens: valuation, quality, growth, balance sheet, and cash flow.
low confidence · 0/0 claims checked
Timing lens: price trend and sector relative strength.
Rolling lens: recent quarterly delivery, not the latest single-result score.

Bullish setupTrend is constructive — long-term uptrend intact. RSI 64.
- Price > SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200 — full bullish stack.
- SMA20 rising (~13.2% over last month) — short-term momentum positive.
- RSI(14) at 64 — rising, no extreme reading.
- MACD below signal but histogram contracting — bearish momentum easing.
- 3% off 52W high · 76% 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 asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Healthy Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 69th percentile of the scored universe and 58th percentile within Metals. Main check: cash conversion is weak at 43/100.
Healthy Trust Lite: Promoter pledge is zero. Key concern: Only 1 years of positive FCF.
Generally investable credibility. Look for weak sub-scores before increasing position size.

How to read this Trust Score
Healthy Trust · low confidenceRead 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.
- ▸3/4 latest quarters had positive YoY revenue growth.
- ▸4/4 latest quarters had positive YoY PAT growth.
- ▸Latest 3 quarters had positive YoY PAT growth.
Trust risks
- ▸Only 1 years of positive FCF.
Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
