The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed3 supporting, 4 against, 2 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 11% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • priced at 12× earnings against an industry median of 40× — 70% below its peers

Against

  • trading 14% below its 200-day average
  • at 0% of its 52-week range — nearly everyone who bought in the past year is underwater
  • down 17% over twelve months
  • net margin has narrowed from 43.9% to 42.5% across four quarters

Worth knowing

  • RSI at 24 is washed out — historically the better half of this site's measured edge comes from exactly this condition
  • the 5 scans it matches come from only 2 families — one signal wearing several hats rather than several signals
SUNTV sits in Media — 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 551, 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

5 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
SUNTV matches 5 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.

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
12×
median 14×
17×
now 12×
SUNTV trades at 12× trailing earnings, below its median of 14× over this window — 13% 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.
