The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed4 supporting, 3 against, 2 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 3% above its 200-day average
  • 5 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • priced at 34× earnings against an industry median of 44× — 22% below its peers
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • down 9% over twelve months
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 17.8% to 11.0% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
  • revenue grew 2% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
CIPLA 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 below 1,389, 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
22×
median 24×
31×
now 34×
CIPLA trades at 34× trailing earnings, above its median of 24× over this window — 45% more 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.
