What is PosiPenta?
PosiPenta looks at a company across five pillars: Price (valuation), Earnings (growth), Nitro (momentum), Torque (durability) and Anchor (stability and dividends). Each pillar is built from a range of measures compared with similar companies, and the final PosiPenta score runs from 0 to 100. It is separate from the Positivity Score and is updated once a week. Open the Penta tab on any company page to see it, or see positoai.com/posipenta for how it works.
What is the Penta Grid?
The Penta Grid (positoai.com/posipenta/grid) lists every company with a PosiPenta score this week, ordered from the highest score down, worldwide or by country and sector, or by any single pillar. A company's place is its Grid number, for example Grid #1. "Rank" on PositoAI always means the daily Positivity Index.
What is PosiFunda on PositoAI?
PosiFunda, on each company's Funda tab, explains a company's key figures in plain words: P/E, P/B, return on equity, how much it owes compared with what it owns, dividends, revenue and profit growth, profit margin, cash quality, interest cover and cash versus debt. Each figure is compared with similar companies in the same sector and country.
What does Owes vs Owns mean on PositoAI?
Owes vs Owns compares everything a company owes with everything it owns, from its latest balance sheet, for example "₹0.41 owed for every ₹1 it owns". Below 1× the company owns more than it owes; above 1× it owes more than it owns. Banks and lenders usually show higher figures.
What is the Pattern tab on PositoAI?
The Pattern tab shows a company's shareholding pattern: how much promoters and the public held over the last 8 quarters, the change each quarter, and how much of the promoter holding is pledged. It is built from the company's quarterly shareholding filings.

PosiFlag: red flags and yellow flags
What is PosiFlag?
PosiFlag is PositoAI's warning system for listed companies. It has two levels: PosiRed for red flags (serious events) and PosiYellow for yellow flags (stress signals).
What is a PosiRed (red flag)?
A PosiRed, or red flag, records a serious event at a listed company: an order or action by a market regulator, tracked across 7 major markets, a bankruptcy or insolvency filing, or a delisting. Each red flag shows a severity from 1 to 10.
What is a PosiYellow (yellow flag)?
A PosiYellow, or yellow flag, is a stress signal rather than a legal finding: for example a promoter share pledge in India (1 to 10 points by how much of the promoter holding is pledged), an insider share pledge, a late filing, an auditor change, a write-down, a restatement or a debt event for US companies, or a pending merger or demerger.
Do red flags and yellow flags affect the Positivity Score?
Yes. Active red flags (PosiRed) and yellow flags (PosiYellow) lower a company's Positivity Score. The exact amounts are part of PositoAI's proprietary method and are not published.
When does a red flag or yellow flag go away?
A flag stops counting once it is resolved: for example, when an order is closed, a pledge is released or a merger is completed. Resolved flags stay in the company's flag history.
Data
How often is price data updated?
Prices are updated every trading day after the market closes.
Why does a stock show "Last traded on…" or "Not ranked"?
Some smaller stocks don't trade every day, so PositoAI shows their last traded price and date. A stock with no trades for more than 60 days is marked "Not ranked" until it trades again.
AI
Does PositoAI use AI?
Yes. PositoAI uses AI to write company summaries from recent news and regulatory information.
Is AI the same as "Super Intelligence" (SI)?
Yes. In September 2026, the US government began using the term "Super Intelligence" (SI) for what is commonly called artificial intelligence (AI). It refers to the same technology, and PositoAI's AI features fall under both names.
