The overall rating incorporates one-month, three-month and six-month RSI values, whilst the seasonality component analyses ten-year historical price trends for both the company and industry across the current and subsequent two months.
Each element receives ratings from 1 to 10, with 10 representing optimal performance. Subsequently, the overall stock perspective is determined by calculating a simple average of the normally distributed component ratings.
Ratings between 8 and 10 indicate a favourable outlook, whilst 4 to 7 suggests a balanced view, and 1 to 3 reflects unfavourable prospects. Stocks achieving a perfect average of 10 without analyst recommendations are excluded. Weekly score reassessments occur, whilst the report's data points undergo daily updates.
The compilation features organisations that achieved a perfect average score of 10 as of June 24, 2025.
The arrangement follows the quantity of analysts who have designated these stocks as "Strong Buy/Buy". The compilation follows.

The earnings assessment considers three primary factors – Earnings Surprises, Estimate Revisions, and Recommendation Changes. The variance between a company's actual earnings and analysts' consensus expectations results in either a "Positive" or "Negative Surprise". The evaluation incorporates surprises observed across four consecutive quarters.
Estimate Revisions reflect the quantity of upward and downward adjustments in a company's earnings per share by analysts, along with the mean percentage variation of these modifications.
Financial fundamentals analysis encompasses profitability assessment, debt evaluation, earnings quality review and dividend pattern examination. These elements carry identical weightage in the assessment framework, with ratings assigned from 1 to 10.
The valuation methodology incorporates three key metrics: price-to-sales ratio contributing 50%, whilst trailing and forward price-to-earnings ratios each account for 25%. These parameters are benchmarked against broader market indices, sector averages and the organisation's historical five-year performance.
The risk assessment framework considers both extended five-year and brief 90-day share performance indicators, including price fluctuations, return measurements, beta coefficients and correlation values.

UAE summer hiring: Expats wanted for Dubai government jobs with salaries up to Dh50,000

Despite slower private-sector hiring, Dubai's government continues recruiting skilled global talent and expats across sectors like healthcare, urban planning, and transport this summer. The UAE job market in 2025 is evolving amid economic shifts and global uncertainties, with hiring showing signs of both caution and opportunity. As reported by local news outlet, Gulf News, demand for skilled professionals remains strong in sectors like construction, banking, and technology, but overall hiring has slowed entering the second half of the year. This slowdown is largely due to new corporate tax pressures and unclear economic conditions, which have caused many companies to postpone major recruitment decisions until after Q4 2025, when tax filings clarify plans for 2026. AI and automation are also reshaping roles, prompting employers to take a more measured approach to hiring. Despite these challenges, sectors such as transport and logistics continue to offer promising openings. Amid this cautious environment, government jobs stand out as particularly attractive to expats, offering stability, benefits, and competitive pay. Dubai is actively recruiting experienced expatriates through its official portal, where a range of positions are available, some with salaries reaching up to Dh50,000 per month. This reflects a strategic shift: while the UAE has traditionally focused on Emirati talent in public service, the current recruitment drive highlights the value placed on global expertise to support Dubai's ambitions in urban planning, healthcare, digital infrastructure, aviation safety, and cultural preservation. Contrary to myths about summer hiring freezes, government recruitment often continues or even intensifies during this period. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo This approach offers expatriates not just jobs, but careers with purpose, stability, and attractive compensation.

Slice Reimagines Credit Access with UPI-Linked Card

Mumbai: Slice has launched the slice UPI credit card, aiming to integrate formal credit seamlessly into India's dominant UPI payment system. Designed to work like any UPI transaction, the card eliminates the need for physical swipes or cards, offering features like cashback and interest-free EMIs. However, Slice's broader ambition lies in reimagining India's credit infrastructure, not just introducing a new card. Following its merger with North East Small Finance Bank, Slice now operates as a full-fledged bank with complete control over its technology stack, including core banking systems and credit underwriting. The bank on Saturday, opened its first digital-led branch in Bengaluru with the first of its kind UPI ATM. The new ATMs enable withdrawals and deposits using a QR code, eliminating the need for a physical card or account number. Users can scan a QR code at the machine to withdraw cash from any bank account or make deposits, even without entering account details. Slice intends to deploy hundreds of these ATMs across the country in the coming years to ensure broad access. Rajan Bajaj, founder and executive director of Slice, said the bank's goal is to reshape India's credit landscape by extending access to 130 million credit-worthy but underserved citizens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like CLASS Hosts International Forum CityU Learn More Undo 'The traditional credit card model was largely unchanged for 75 years since its inception in America. This needs to be redesigned for India to be able to service 300 million of our citizens who are credit worthy.' He emphasized the role of mobile in this transformation: 'The interface of serving this credit is mobile. But the fundamental source of the money still remains credit.' Slice's experience with new-to-credit customers gives it an edge, with Bajaj noting, '50% of those customers being new to credit… who really understand the credit risk of these customers where small ticket sizes are relevant.' Bajaj added that Slice's credit model has 'performed 30% better historically than the market,' making it ideal for reaching underserved segments at scale. He pointed out how UPI simplifies credit disbursement by enabling approval 'at the point of transaction,' removing the need for physical credit cards: 'The physical one just can be a physical like virtual card.' According to him, most co-branded cards focus on the same group of 40–50 million users, whereas Slice aims to go beyond: 'For the 300 million credit-worthy individuals in India, access to a credit card would be a game changer for them. ' Bajaj sees this shift as transformative, comparing it to UPI's rise over the past decade: 'We think UPI credit card is that same moment for India… ten years from today it'll be like one of the biggest moments of UPI unlocking credit for the entire economy.' A key differentiator is Slice's ability to underwrite customers who were previously excluded. Bajaj claimed their Customer Acquisition Costs are '10 times lower than traditional banks,' thanks to a mobile-first approach and strong word-of-mouth. This enables Slice to offer credit to a much broader customer base and across more merchants: '60, 70 million merchants' versus '5, 6 million merchants' in the traditional credit card system. The average transaction size is expected to fall from ₹2,500 to smaller amounts, making it 'more relevant for this large 300 million population of India that's credit worthy.' Transparency is also central to Slice's offering. Bajaj emphasized the need to give users control over repayments: 'People can control the way they are paying… if they want to roll over, this is the extra interest that they'll end up paying.' The card includes a 'flagship 3 months free installment' feature, allowing users to convert purchases into equal payments: 'Instead of 90 days one shot, you are getting 1667 rupees for three months… in this cycle, next month cycle and then the next next month cycle. ' Beyond credit cards, Slice is expanding its banking model. While continuing with loans like personal and SME credit, it is focusing on scalable digital products. Bajaj sees Slice's future as rooted in financial inclusion. With half of its customer base being new to credit, the bank is focused on serving '130–140 million Indians who are not even eligible for formal credit today.'

Century-old train control systems set for big upgrade! Indian Railways prepares new blueprint; focus on safety and train speed

The Railway Board will soon create a detailed blueprint for a modern, technology-driven system. Indian Railways is set to undertake a major upgrade of its over 100-years-old train control systems in a bid to improve operational efficiency and safety across the world's fourth-largest railway network. The Railway Board will soon create a detailed blueprint for a modern, technology-driven decision support system aimed at managing operations and traffic more effectively and also speed up trains, reported ET quoting officials. The move comes as growing traffic congestion, delays, and a spate of accidents have raised red flags about the need for urgent reform. The planned overhaul will focus on freight-heavy corridors as well as high-speed and mixed-traffic routes, offering sharper control and streamlined operations. Indian Railways Set For Big Upgrade Central to the new system will be an integrated command centre bringing together all departments involved in train operations. This will replace the current siloed and largely manual control system with advanced decision-making tools for better train movement management, route planning, and crisis response. The shift is also expected to ease the burden on train controllers dealing with rising traffic density. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Also Read | Indian Railways hikes fares of passenger trains; minor increase in ticket prices effective from July 1, 2025 - check details A senior official was quoted as saying that the Railway Board will draw lessons from international systems in countries such as Japan, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Spain. However, these cannot be adopted directly due to the unique operational complexity of Indian Railways. With long-haul freight trains, semi-high-speed services, and a wide variety of rolling stock, Indian conditions demand customised solutions. Indian Railways eyes new tech The urgency for reform gained momentum after a series of train accidents highlighted gaps in the existing control infrastructure. In response, the Railway Board set up a committee to recommend changes in the traffic control system. Chandan Chaturvedee, a retired chief controller who was part of the team that represented the traffic control cadre before the Railway Board, noted that the department had long suffered from understaffing and lack of recognition."These reforms will ensure the long-standing demands of this crucial department are met," he said.
