Momentum score · price trend

93 out of 100 — Strengthening

Over the past year its share price has done better than most of the stocks we track.

PeriodShare price changeBetter than … of 1,910 stocks
Last 12 months+79.3%91%
Last 6 months+63.5%93%
Last 3 months+42.6%96%
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 West Coast Paper: 0.4 × 91 + 0.4 × 93 + 0.2 × 96 = 93.

Strengthening is 70 and above, Steady 40 to 70, Cooling below 40. Scores are recalculated every night after the market closes.
