Data note: Torrent Pharma's merger with J.B. Chemicals became effective around the snapshot date (NCLT sanction 6 Jul 2026; new shares allotted 20 Jul 2026). Results from the Mar 2026 quarter include J.B. Chemicals, so sales, debt and assets jump versus earlier periods, and the Jul 2026 fall in promoter holding reflects the new shares, not a sale.

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 →
