Analysis
Hardcastle and Waud Manufacturing Company Limited (509597) currently trades at ₹927.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,012, implying the stock looks roughly 9.1% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Hardcastle and Waud Manufacturing Company Limited generated revenue of ₹36.5M at a net margin of 17.6%. Revenue grew 43.0% year over year. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 20.5 (as of Jul 4, 2026). Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹759.12 (bear case) to ₹1,265 (bull case); at ₹927.60, 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 11% below its 52-week high and 54% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at 9%, 509597 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 14 models by family
