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 →

A. Valuation

#	Point	Reading	Tag	Commentary
1	P/E (trailing 12 months)	-69.8×	Neutral	At ₹249.10 the market valued the company at about ₹16,119 crore, or -69.8× the ₹-231 crore profit of the four quarters to Mar 2026. That is a low multiple in absolute terms. 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	5.43×	Neutral	Market cap was 5.43× the Mar 2026 book value (equity + reserves) of ₹2,967 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)	n/m	Neutral	PEG is not meaningful because 3-year profit growth was not available. Note: the Mar 2026 quarter carried unusual other income of ₹-700 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)	1.20%	Neutral	Dividends with ex-dates in the 12 months to the snapshot totalled ₹3 a share, a 1.20% yield on the ₹249.10 price. Bullish above 3% · Neutral at 3% or less. Never tagged Bearish.
8	Market capitalisation	₹16,119 cr	Neutral	At about ₹0.16 lakh crore the company was a small-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).

Note: the Mar 2026 quarter carried unusual other income of ₹-700 crore — a one-off that distorts year-on-year profit comparisons. Bullish above 10% · Bearish below 0% · Neutral 0–10%. Caution if a one-off item distorted the figure.
13	Q4 FY26 profit growth (YoY)	-408.7%	Caution	Quarterly profit was ₹-531 crore versus ₹172 crore a year earlier (-408.7%).

17	EPS growth FY26 (reported)	-143.5%	Caution	Reported EPS went from ₹8.64 to ₹-3.76 (-143.5%). Differences from profit growth come from changes in share count (bonus, buyback, new issues). Note: the Mar 2026 quarter carried unusual other income of ₹-700 crore — a one-off that distorts year-on-year profit comparisons. Bullish above 10% · Bearish below 0% · Neutral 0–10%.
