Analysis

The Sandesh Limited (526725) currently trades at ₹1,086, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,156, implying the stock looks roughly 6.5% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (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, The Sandesh Limited generated revenue of ₹3.2B at a net margin of 20.9%. Revenue declined 37.3% year over year. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 5.7 (as of Aug 18, 2026). Fundamentals as of Aug 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹873.55 (bear case) to ₹1,261 (bull case); at ₹1,086, 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 16% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Other peers we cover trades at -24% fair-value upside, at 6%, 526725 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.

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
