The evidence leans constructive5 supporting, 2 against, 2 worth knowing
Supporting
trading 1% above its 200-day average
up 10% over twelve months
3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
net margin has widened from 26.6% to 29.1% across four quarters
priced at 10× earnings against an industry median of 19× — 48% below its peers
Against
2 of the scans it matches have historically underperformed the market
futures show a short buildup — new sellers are committing capital
Worth knowing
the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
revenue grew 1% year on year in the quarter ending 30 June 2026
NMDC sits in Public sector, 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 below 84, its 200-day average; open interest reversing while price keeps going.

What the scans say today
3 of 47 matched on 10 Sep
NMDC matches 3 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.
NMDC trades at 10× trailing earnings, close to its median of 10× over this window. 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.
Other filing filings were typically +0.01pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=17,202) · Management filings were typically +0.06pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=2,634) · AGM / EGM filings were typically +0.17pt vs the market over the next 5 sessions (n=8,423)

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.
