The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed3 supporting, 4 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • up 16% over twelve months
  • revenue grew 11% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 0.6% to 3.9% across four quarters

Against

  • trading 5% below its 200-day average
  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • priced at 27× earnings against an industry median of 18× — 53% above its peers
  • futures show a short buildup — new sellers are committing capital

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
TATASTEEL sits in Manufacturing, Commodities, Metals — 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 193, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.

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

457 sessions since 2024-11-06
34×
median 68×
90×
now 27×
TATASTEEL trades at 27× trailing earnings, below its median of 68× over this window — 60% 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 Buildup
Price down, open interest up. New sellers are committing capital. The most common state in a falling tape, and the one that unwinds hardest if it turns.

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.
