Going in
Up 5.8% over 30 sessions and -2.9% over 90 sessions. Sitting at the 17th percentile of its 52-week range. Closed above its 20-day average on 80% of the last 30 sessions. Delivery volumes have been running 6.7 points lower than the 90-day average.
Normally tracks NIFTY 50 at a correlation of 0.28; over the last 30 sessions that has run at 0.54 (-2.2 standard deviations from its own norm). Over 30 sessions it has outrun what its beta of 0.77 to the index would account for, by 1.3 percentage points.
No clean sector benchmark for this stock, so sector-relative strength is not part of its score this week.
Where it sits
No clean sector benchmark over 90 sessions: +5.9% against the market. Up and right is ahead of both; down and left is behind both.
