The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive9 supporting, 1 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 15% above its 200-day average
  • sitting at 94% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
  • up 12% over twelve months
  • matches closing in on a 52-week high, which has beaten the market by +0.51 points over 20 sessions across 27,282 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 14% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 25.2% to 28.8% across four quarters
  • priced at 36× earnings against an industry median of 52× — 31% below its peers

Against

  • futures show a short buildup — new sellers are committing capital

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
HAL sits in Defence, Public sector, Manufacturing — 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 4,346, its 200-day average; a failure to hold the top of its 52-week range; 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
28×
median 34×
40×
now 36×
HAL trades at 36× trailing earnings, close to its median of 34× 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.

Derivatives

near expiry 2026-08-25 · 2026-08-20
Short Buildup
Price down, open interest up. New sellers are committing capital. The most common state in a falling tape, and the one that unwinds hardest if it turns.
Futures basis versus spot-0.31%

Put wall (support)4,900

Max pain4,900
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.

HAL trades at 35.9× trailing earnings against an industry median of 52.1× across 102 other classified companies in its industry — cheaper than them, by 31%. A multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: cheap usually means the market expects less, and it is often right.
