The read
written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive5 supporting, 3 against, 1 worth knowing
Supporting
trading 25% above its 200-day average
sitting at 91% of its 52-week range, with little overhead supply from trapped buyers
up 28% over twelve months
matches the market's strongest stocks, which has beaten the market by +0.37 points over 20 sessions across 48,607 past signals
3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
Against
revenue fell 44% year on year in the quarter ending 2026-06-30
net margin has narrowed from 28.0% to 22.5% across four quarters
priced at 98× earnings against an industry median of 52× — 88% above its peers
Worth knowing
RSI at 79 is stretched; strong stocks stay stretched for a long time, so this is a note on entry timing, not on direction
ZENTEC sits in Defence — worth checking whether the whole group is moving together or whether this name is doing it alone.
What would change this read: a close below 1,538, its 200-day average; a failure to hold the top of its 52-week range.

What the scans say today
6 of 47 matched on 2026-08-21
ZENTEC matches 6 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.
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
50×
median 65×
104×
now 98×
ZENTEC trades at 98× trailing earnings, above its median of 65× over this window — 51% more 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.
