41out of 100

Momentum score · price trend

41 out of 100 — Steady

Over the past year its share price has moved roughly in the middle of the stocks we track.

PeriodShare price changeBetter than … of 1,910 stocks
Last 12 months+29.1%78%
Last 6 months+64.2%92%
Last 3 months+4.8%72%

The price is 43.5% below its all-time high of ₹573.97 (15 Jun 2018). Stocks more than 20% below their peak have their score halved, so 82 became 41.

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 Quess Corp Ltd: 0.4 × 78 + 0.4 × 92 + 0.2 × 72 = 82, halved to 41 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.
