24 out of 100 — Cooling
Over the past year its share price has done worse than most of the stocks we track.
| Period | Share price change | Better than … of 1,910 stocks |
|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months | −22.0% | 35% |
| Last 6 months | −2.0% | 52% |
| Last 3 months | +0.5% | 68% |
The price is 51.2% below its all-time high of ₹181.05 (22 Apr 2022). Stocks more than 20% below their peak have their score halved, so 49 became 24.
How we calculate it
“Better than 30%” means that over that period the share price did better than 30 out of every 100 stocks we track (1,910 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 Ester Industries Ltd: 0.4 × 35 + 0.4 × 52 + 0.2 × 68 = 49, halved to 24 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.
