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 →

1	P/E (trailing 12 months)	44.5×	Neutral	At ₹41,895.00 the market valued the company at about ₹1,23,463 crore, or 44.5× the ₹2,773 crore profit of the four quarters to Mar 2026. 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	8.32×	Neutral	Market cap was 8.32× the Mar 2026 book value (equity + reserves) of ₹14,846 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)	1.79	Neutral	P/E of 44.5 divided by 3-year profit growth of 24.8% a year gives a PEG of 1.79. Below 1 is often read as growth being cheaply priced; above 2 as expensive. Note: the Jun 2025 quarter carried unusual other income of ₹844 crore — a one-off that distorts year-on-year profit comparisons. Bullish below 1 (growth cheaply priced) · Bearish above 2 (growth expensively priced) · Neutral 1–2, or when profit did not grow (not meaningful).
7	Dividend yield (trailing 12M)	1.22%	Neutral	Dividends with ex-dates in the 12 months to the snapshot totalled ₹512 a share, a 1.22% yield on the ₹41,895.00 price. Bullish above 3% · Neutral at 3% or less. Never tagged Bearish.
8	Market capitalisation	₹1,23,463 cr	Neutral	At about ₹1.23 lakh crore the company was a large-cap. How to read: Information only. Above ₹1 lakh crore large-cap, ₹30,000 crore–₹1 lakh crore mid-cap, below that small-cap (our rule of thumb).
