The read
written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans negative2 supporting, 4 against, 1 worth knowing
Supporting
revenue grew 18% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
net margin has widened from 5.1% to 17.6% across four quarters
Against
trading 9% below its 200-day average
down 14% over twelve months
1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
priced at 51× earnings against an industry median of 36× — 39% above its peers
Worth knowing
the rise is short covering rather than fresh buying, which historically runs out when the shorts are done
VBL sits in Consumer goods — 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 471, 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
3 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
VBL matches 3 of the 47 scans today, across 2 different kinds of evidence.
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
56×
median 65×
90×
now 51×
VBL trades at 51× trailing earnings, below its median of 65× over this window — 22% 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 hard it has been pushed lately. Above 70 on RSI is stretched, below 30 is washed out — neither is a signal on its own.

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.
