The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive7 supporting, 3 against, 0 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 2% above its 200-day average
  • up 5% over twelve months
  • matches growth that is speeding up, which has beaten the market by +0.79 points over 20 sessions across 57,921 past signals
  • 3 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 4 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 57% year on year in the quarter ending 30 June 2026
  • futures show a long buildup — the move is being funded by new positions

Against

  • 2 of the scans it matches have historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 12.2% to 11.2% across four quarters
  • priced at 47× earnings against an industry median of 25× — 89% above its peers

Worth knowing

  • nothing the data supports either way
PERSISTENT sits in Digital, Information technology — 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 5,389, 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.

Wording of 4 of these 4 filing lines was drafted by a language model, which is given the figures and may not introduce another — any sentence containing a number that did not come from the filings is discarded before it reaches this page.

Valuation against its own history

500 sessions since 26 September 2024
44×
median 63×
79×
now 47×
PERSISTENT trades at 47× trailing earnings, below its median of 63× over this window — 25% 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.

PERSISTENT trades at 47.0× trailing earnings against an industry median of 24.9× across 34 other classified companies in its industry — more expensive than them, by 89%.
