The read

written from the numbers on this page
The evidence leans constructive6 supporting, 3 against, 1 worth knowing

Supporting

  • trading 0% above its 200-day average
  • up 9% over twelve months
  • matches profit that turns into cash, which has beaten the market by +2.73 points over 20 sessions across 9,184 past signals
  • 8 of the scans it matches have a positive measured record
  • 3 independent kinds of evidence agree today, which is uncommon
  • revenue grew 39% year on year in the quarter ending 30 June 2026

Against

  • 1 of the scans it matches has historically underperformed the market
  • net margin has narrowed from 10.7% to 9.7% across four quarters
  • holders are unwinding longs quietly

Worth knowing

  • the 50-day and 200-day averages disagree, which usually means a turn in progress rather than a trend to lean on
POLYCAB sits in Manufacturing — 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 8,343, 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.

What the scans say today

POLYCAB matches 10 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.

What this company does

segments and revenue mix, as the company reports them
POLYCAB reports 3 business segments. The largest is Wires and Cables at 87% of revenue in the quarter ending 30 June 2026. On these numbers this is effectively a single-segment business, so the group result and that segment’s result move together.

Segment names are the company’s own, taken verbatim from the reportable-segment disclosure in its quarterly XBRL filing. Nothing on this page describes the business in words we wrote.

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 26 September 2024
40×
median 47×
61×
now 43×
POLYCAB trades at 43× trailing earnings, close to its median of 47× 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.

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.

POLYCAB trades at 43.3× trailing earnings against an industry median of 48.2× across 103 other classified companies in its industry — priced roughly in line with them. A multiple is a statement about expectations, not about quality: cheap usually means the market expects less, and it is often right.
