The evidence leans constructive5 supporting, 1 against, 2 worth knowing
Supporting
trading 2% above its 200-day average
up 13% over twelve months

Against

Worth knowing
revenue fell 0% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
PNB sits in Public sector banks — 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 115, its 200-day average.

Cash conversion

operating cash flow as a share of profit
Return on capital uses profit before tax over equity plus borrowings. The textbook version adds finance costs back; those are not tagged reliably in quarterly filings, so this understates the ratio for a heavily borrowed company rather than flattering it. Balance sheets are filed half-yearly, so these can be up to six months behind the profit figures above.
Valuation against its own history
500 sessions since 2024-09-06
6×
median 8×
11×
now 7×
PNB trades at 7× trailing earnings, below its median of 8× over this window — 17% 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.
