The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative3 supporting, 5 against, 3 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
  • revenue grew 27% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 19× earnings against an industry median of 36× — 47% below its peers

Against

  • trading 26% below its 200-day average
  • at 4% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 42% over twelve months
  • net margin has narrowed from 5.3% to 3.0% across four quarters
  • the future trades at a 0.98% discount to spot

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 23 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
  • the 6 scans it matches come from only 2 families — one signal wearing several hats rather than several signals
  • the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
PATANJALI sits in Consumer goods — 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 471, 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

6 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
PATANJALI matches 6 of the 47 scans today, across 2 different kinds of evidence. Note how few kinds of evidence that is: several scans in one family are one signal wearing several hats, not several signals.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 2024-09-06
21×
median 49×
68×
now 19×
PATANJALI trades at 19× trailing earnings, below its median of 49× over this window — 60% 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.

Derivatives

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.
