The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative4 supporting, 6 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • matches near a 52-week low, which has beaten the market by +0.45 points over 20 sessions across 47,393 past signals
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 26% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 7× earnings against an industry median of 10× — 36% below its peers

Against

  • trading 9% below its 200-day average
  • at 7% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 1% over twelve months
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 8.0% to 3.2% across four quarters
  • holders are unwinding longs quietly

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
ONGC sits in Public sector, Central PSUs, Infrastructure — 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 259, 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

5 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
ONGC matches 5 of the 47 scans today, across 4 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
median 7×
now 7×
ONGC trades at trailing earnings, below its median of 7× over this window — 11% 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.

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.

ONGC trades at 6.6× trailing earnings against an industry median of 10.4× across 16 other classified companies in its industry — cheaper than them, by 36%. A multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: cheap usually means the market expects less, and it is often right.
