The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative1 supporting, 5 against, 2 worth knowing

Supporting

  • net margin has widened from 5.4% to 7.0% across four quarters

Against

  • trading 11% below its 200-day average
  • down 13% over twelve months
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • revenue fell 6% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 31× earnings against an industry median of 21× — 47% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 26 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
  • the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
NBCC sits in Central PSUs — worth checking whether the whole group is moving together or whether this name is doing it alone.
What would change this read: a close back above 99, 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.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
34×
median 49×
69×
now 31×
NBCC trades at 31× trailing earnings, below its median of 49× over this window — 36% 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.
