Analysis
CESC Limited (500084) currently trades at ₹168.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹226.64, implying the stock looks roughly 34.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Other sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, CESC Limited generated revenue of ₹102B at a net margin of 12.5%. Revenue declined 0.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.0%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 6.0 (as of Jul 4, 2026). Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹208.09 (bear case) to ₹363.92 (bull case); at ₹168.00, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 18% below its 52-week high and 22% above its 52-week low. For context, the median of 10 Other peers we cover trades at -24% fair-value upside, at 35%, 500084 screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
