The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed3 supporting, 3 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 8% above its 200-day average
  • 5 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • the future trades at a 0.51% premium to spot

Against

  • down 10% over twelve months
  • revenue fell 53% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has narrowed from 71.8% to 62.0% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
DLF sits in Infrastructure, Real estate — 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 629, 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

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
32×
median 42×
74×
now 38×
DLF trades at 38× trailing earnings, below its median of 42× over this window — 10% 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.

Short Covering
Price up, open interest down. Sellers are closing, not buyers arriving. Rallies built only on this tend not to last once the shorts are out.

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.
