Momentum score · price trend
Over the past year its share price has done worse than most of the stocks we track.
| Period | Share price change | Better than … of 1,878 stocks |
|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months | +5.0% | 59% |
| Last 6 months | +20.0% | 55% |
| Last 3 months | −13.9% | 25% |
The price is 44.7% below its all-time high of ₹2,724.9 (4 Feb 2022). Stocks more than 20% below their peak have their score halved, so 51 became 25.
“Better than 30%” means that over that period the share price did better than 30 out of every 100 stocks we track (1,878 Indian companies worth ₹500 Cr or more, with at least a year of prices).
The score weighs the longer periods more: 40% × 12-month + 40% × 6-month + 20% × 3-month. For Ambika Cotton: 0.4 × 59 + 0.4 × 55 + 0.2 × 25 = 51, halved to 25 because the price is more than 20% below its all-time high.
Strengthening is 70 and above, Steady 40 to 70, Cooling below 40. Scores are recalculated every night after the market closes.
