The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive4 supporting, 1 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 19% above its 200-day average
  • up 24% over twelve months
  • 5 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • net margin has widened from 1.5% to 51.7% across four quarters

Against

  • revenue fell 25% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
What would change this read: a close below 2,899, its 200-day average.
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

median 108×
383×
now 102×
CENTUM trades at 102× trailing earnings, close to its median of 108× 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.
