The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive9 supporting, 2 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 22% above its 200-day average
  • sitting at 99% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
  • up 49% over twelve months
  • matches closing in on a 52-week high, which has beaten the market by +0.51 points over 20 sessions across 27,282 past signals
  • 2 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 5 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 9% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 13× earnings against an industry median of 17× — 23% below its peers
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 27.3% to 24.6% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 73 is stretched; strong stocks stay stretched for a long time, so this is a note on entry timing, not on direction
What would change this read: a close below 956, its 200-day average; a failure to hold the top of its 52-week range; open interest reversing while price keeps going.

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
10×
median 12×
15×
now 13×
PNBHOUSING trades at 13× trailing earnings, above its median of 12× over this window — 9% more 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.
