The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive4 supporting, 2 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • matches long tail above — rejected higher, which has beaten the market by +0.39 points over 20 sessions across 16,308 past signals
  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 45% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 7.8% to 15.1% across four quarters

Against

  • trading 6% below its 200-day average
  • down 11% over twelve months

Worth knowing

  • the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
SRF sits in Manufacturing, Commodities — 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 2,728, 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

9 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
SRF matches 9 of the 47 scans today, across 3 different kinds of evidence. Three or more independent families agreeing is uncommon — it is the same test the shortlist on every page uses.

What this company does

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
52×
median 72×
81×
now 37×
SRF trades at 37× trailing earnings, below its median of 72× over this window — 48% 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.

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.

Chemicals · 44 classified companies
SRF trades at 37.3× trailing earnings against an industry median of 36.0× across 41 other classified companies in its industry — priced roughly in line with them. A multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: cheap usually means the market expects less, and it is often right.
