The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive7 supporting, 3 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 43% above its 200-day average
  • sitting at 98% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
  • up 84% over twelve months
  • matches stretched far above trend, which has beaten the market by +0.82 points over 20 sessions across 27,715 past signals
  • 4 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 6 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 47% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30

Against

  • net margin has narrowed from 17.4% to 13.6% across four quarters
  • priced at 76× earnings against an industry median of 38× — 100% above its peers
  • holders are unwinding longs quietly

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
SONACOMS sits in Manufacturing, Automobiles — 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 571, its 200-day average; a failure to hold the top of its 52-week range.
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.

how long customers take to pay
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
47×
median 55×
77×
now 76×
SONACOMS trades at 76× trailing earnings, above its median of 55× over this window — 40% 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.
