Analysis
GHCL Limited (500171) currently trades at ₹428.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹479.96, implying the stock looks roughly 12.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, GHCL Limited generated revenue of ₹28.4B at a net margin of 9.8%. Revenue declined 3.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.9%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 5.8 (as of Aug 2, 2026). Fundamentals as of Aug 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹382.79 (bear case) to ₹980.67 (bull case); at ₹428.60, the current price sits within 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 34% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -62% fair-value upside, at 12%, 500171 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (₹902.16) versus Dividend Discount (₹130.96). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
