How we research

Sector Alpha Research is an independent publisher of data-first research on Indian equities. Every page on this site is written by software from primary data — scraped fundamentals, exchange prices, company filings — and every number on it traces back to a named source. We are not SEBI-registered, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

The entity

Who is Sector Alpha Research?

Sector Alpha Research is the research desk behind sectoralpha.in. It is an organisation, not a person: the pages you read are compiled by code that turns raw financial data into plain-English analysis, and the people behind it build, test and audit that system rather than hand-writing individual stock views. That design is deliberate. A machine applies the same standards to its 2,000th company as to its first — it has no favourite stocks, takes no payment for coverage, and cannot be talked into a conclusion.

We publish research on Indian listed companies and the sectors they belong to: where a stock's price and earnings sit against their own history, whether the business is growing, who owns it, and what would have to be true for the story to hold. What we never publish is a tip. The strongest thing any page on this site ever says about a stock is that it is worth studying deeper.

Sources

Where does every number come from?

Three primary sources feed the site, and nothing else does:

  • Screener.in fundamentals — quarterly and annual results, balance sheets, cash flows, ratios and shareholding, scraped from each company's public Screener page.
  • Exchange price data — NSE/BSE price series and moving averages, tracked weekly.
  • Company filings and earnings calls — annual reports, results filings and concall transcripts, used for what management said and whether they later delivered it.

Every number traces to its source column: a revenue figure on a stock page comes from a specific field of a specific quarterly filing, not from an aggregator's estimate or a model's imagination. Stock pages link out to the underlying Screener and NSE pages so you can check any figure against the source yourself.

Freshness

How often does the data refresh?

The underlying data refreshes weekly, after market close — prices, results, shareholding and ratios are re-pulled across the covered universe and every page is regenerated from the new snapshot. The "Updated" date you see on a page is the date of the data behind it, never the time the page happened to be served.

Standards

What is the quality bar?

  • Self-contained answers. A passage that answers a question names the company, the number and the as-of date inside the passage itself. If the data can't literally answer the question, the question is dropped — never answered approximately.
  • No unverifiable claims. A page may only claim what its own numbers substantiate. "Profits are accelerating" appears only when the published figures show it.
  • Estimates are labelled as estimates. A discounted-cash-flow fair value or an implied-growth figure is a model output, and it is always presented as one — as a lens for thinking, never as a fact about the future.
  • Missing data is omitted, not papered over. When a company lacks the history to support a section, the section doesn't render. You will not find placeholder values dressed up as analysis.
  • Both sides, always. Every stock story carries an honest bull case, an honest bear case, and the conditions under which its own read would be wrong.
Editorial policy

How is coverage decided?

Coverage is decided by data availability and quality, nothing else. A company earns a page when its filing history is deep and clean enough to support one, and pages are added in reviewed batches rather than all at once. No company, promoter or intermediary can pay for coverage, pay to change a conclusion, or pay to remove one — the site carries no sponsored content and no paid placements. The analysis is generated from the data alone, so the same company with the same numbers always gets the same read.

Corrections

How do errors get fixed?

Because every page is generated from source data, corrections happen at the source. When an error is found — a mis-scraped figure, a wrongly mapped field, a claim the numbers don't support — we fix the data or the writing system itself, then regenerate every page that reads from it. A correction therefore propagates to all affected pages at once rather than being hand-patched on one.

Spotted a number that doesn't match its source? Tell us on X (Twitter) at @Mooon_shot. Genuine data errors are treated as defects, verified against the primary source, and fixed in the next refresh cycle.

The line we never cross

What Sector Alpha is not

Sector Alpha is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as an investment adviser or as a research analyst.

We publish no buy, sell or hold recommendations, no price targets to act on, and no portfolio guidance. Everything on this site is educational research: a structured, source-traced reading of public data, published so you can form your own view. The strongest conclusion a page ever reaches is that a stock is worth studying deeper — the studying, and every decision that follows, is yours.

Markets carry risk of loss. Before acting on anything, do your own research and, where appropriate, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.
