Data note: On 21 Jul 2026, two days before the snapshot, Anant Raj's board approved demerging its data-centre and cloud business into Ashok Cloud (1 share for each Anant Raj share). It still needed NCLT, SEBI and shareholder approvals, so prices and financials here are for the undivided company.

How to read the tags. Each of the 50 points gets one tag. Bullish the reading was favourable. Bearish the reading was unfavourable. Neutral the reading was in a normal range, or gave no clear message. Caution a warning sign or an unusual reading that deserves a closer look. Point 50 counts the other 49 tags. The chart is called positive when bullish tags beat bearish ones by 5 or more, negative when bearish tags beat bullish ones by 5 or more, and mixed otherwise. Under each point you will see what reading earns which tag. Tags describe the data on the snapshot date. They are not signals to buy or sell. Full guide to all 100 points →

That is a premium multiple — the market expected growth. How to read: Information only. Below 15 is a low multiple, 15–30 moderate, above 30 a premium (the market expects growth). Compare with peers and the company’s own history.
2	Price / Book	3.65×	Neutral	Market cap was 3.65× the Mar 2026 book value (equity + reserves) of ₹5,789 crore. How to read: Information only. Main yardstick for banks; asset-light businesses usually trade at high P/B.

6	PEG (P/E ÷ 3-yr profit CAGR)	0.69	Caution	P/E of 38.0 divided by 3-year profit growth of 55.4% a year gives a PEG of 0.69. Below 1 is often read as growth being cheaply priced; above 2 as expensive. Note: revenue jumped more than 40% in Mar 2023, Mar 2024, which usually signals a merger or acquisition — multi-year growth rates are inflated by it.
