The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive6 supporting, 3 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • up 3% over twelve months
  • matches near a 52-week low, which has beaten the market by +0.45 points over 20 sessions across 47,393 past signals
  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 11% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 29× earnings against an industry median of 44× — 33% below its peers
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • trading 2% below its 200-day average
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 19.5% to 13.9% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
ALKEM sits in Manufacturing, Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals — worth checking whether the whole group is moving together or whether this name is doing it alone.
What would change this read: a close back above 5,534, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.
Assembled automatically from the figures on this page — the scans matched, their measured record, the filed financials, the derivatives positioning and the peer comparison. It is not a recommendation, no one has spoken to the company, and every claim above can be checked against a number further down this page.

What the scans say today

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
26×
median 28×
35×
now 29×
ALKEM trades at 29× trailing earnings, close to its median of 28× over this window. The band runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile, so single-day spikes do not set the edges.
This window is short by the standards of valuation history — it begins where four quarters of filed earnings first exist. A stock can look cheap against two years and expensive against ten.

How to read this
Open interest is contracts still open, so a rise means new positions and a fall means positions closing. Combined with price direction that gives the state on the left. The walls are the strikes carrying the most open interest near expiry — levels other people are watching, not levels the price is obliged to respect. A future below spot means sellers are paying to be short.
