Price Chart
Price50-day avg200-day avg
How to read this: the line is the closing price over time. The two dashed lines are moving averages — the average price over the last 50 and 200 trading days — which smooth out daily noise to show the broader trend. Price above its moving averages reflects recent strength; below reflects recent weakness. Use the buttons to change the time range. Prices are end-of-day, not live.

Note on calculated ratios: where a value is not published in the source data, we compute it from the reported financials — Debt to Equity = total borrowings ÷ (equity capital + reserves); EV / EBITDA = (market cap + debt − cash) ÷ (operating profit + depreciation); PEG = P/E ÷ 3-year profit growth %. These may differ slightly from other sources that use different periods or TTM figures. Current Price, Market Cap and P/E reflect the live quote (cached 15 min).
