Analysis

Finolex Cables Limited (500144) currently trades at ₹1,330, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹403.22, implying the stock looks roughly 69.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Finolex Cables Limited generated revenue of ₹23.7B at a net margin of 13.3%. Revenue declined 10.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.6%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 13.4 (as of Aug 14, 2026). Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹305.07 (bear case) to ₹524.24 (bull case); at ₹1,330, the current price sits above 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 3% below its 52-week high and 90% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at -70%, 500144 screens richer 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
