The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence is mixed4 supporting, 4 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 36% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
  • net margin has widened from 8.6% to 10.6% across four quarters
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • trading 2% below its 200-day average
  • down 9% over twelve months
  • 2 of the scans it matches have historically underperformed the market
  • priced at 39× earnings against an industry median of 30× — 30% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
ULTRACEMCO sits in Infrastructure, 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 11,770, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.
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
45×
median 54×
64×
now 39×
ULTRACEMCO trades at 39× trailing earnings, below its median of 54× over this window — 29% 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.

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.
