The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed4 supporting, 5 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • matches trading far more than usual, which has beaten the market by +0.45 points over 20 sessions across 52,251 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • priced at 20× earnings against an industry median of 30× — 33% below its peers
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • trading 12% below its 200-day average
  • at 10% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 27% over twelve months
  • revenue fell 8% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has narrowed from 25.1% to 6.9% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 26 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
AMBUJACEM sits in Infrastructure, Commodities, Multinationals — 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 474, 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.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
19×
median 26×
36×
now 20×
AMBUJACEM trades at 20× trailing earnings, below its median of 26× over this window — 23% less expensive than usual. 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.
