The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive6 supporting, 0 against, 2 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 18% above its 200-day average
  • up 42% over twelve months
  • matches falling on heavy volume, which has beaten the market by +1.50 points over 20 sessions across 11,289 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 6 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 28% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30

Against

  • nothing the data supports either way

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
  • RSI at 29 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
HSCL sits in 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 554, 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.

Needs watching
Nothing in the filings stands out either way.
Every figure here is computed from the company’s own filings. Wording of 3 of these 3 lines was drafted by a language model, which is given the figures and may not introduce another — any sentence containing a number that did not come from the filings is discarded before it reaches this page.

What the scans say today

8 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
HSCL matches 8 of the 47 scans today, across 6 different kinds of evidence. Three or more independent families agreeing is uncommon — it is the same test the shortlist on every page uses.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
32×
median 41×
65×
now 41×
HSCL trades at 41× trailing earnings, close to its median of 41× 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.
