The read
written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative1 supporting, 5 against, 0 worth knowing
Supporting
revenue grew 10% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
Against
trading 15% below its 200-day average
at 8% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
down 44% over twelve months
1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
net margin has narrowed from 8.3% to -7.4% across four quarters
Worth knowing
nothing the data supports either way
NETWORK18 sits in Media — 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 35, 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
1 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
NETWORK18 matches 1 of the 47 scans today, across 1 different kinds of evidence.
NETWORK18 trades at 29× trailing earnings, close to its median of 32× 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.
The Exchange has sought clarification from Network 18 Media & Investments Ltd on August 21, 2026, with reference to Movement in Volume. The reply is awaited.
Other filing filings were typically -0.08pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=12,093) · AGM / EGM filings were typically +0.00pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=4,362)

Quarterly filings are unaudited unless stated. Consolidated figures are used where the company files both. A single quarter is a noisy thing — the trend across the column is worth more than the top row.

Distance from the averages traders watch. Above all of them is a bull phase; below the 200-day is the line most investors use to say otherwise.

How hard it has been pushed lately. Above 70 on RSI is stretched, below 30 is washed out — neither is a signal on its own.

Recent sessions
what this stock has matched since the engine went live
This is the live record, not the backtest — the scans this stock actually appeared in on each stored session. A name that keeps reappearing is in a persistent condition; a one-day appearance usually is not.
