The analysis
Fractal Analytics reported ₹713.40 and ₹763.45, with movement of 6% and 11% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +7.5% on the day at ₹767.20, and has returned -11.6% over three months. It sits 30% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The it sector has moved +3.4% over the same period, so Fractal Analytics is running 15.0 points behind its peers.
For Fractal Analytics, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the it peer set alongside it.
