Analysis

Archean Chemical Industries Limited (ACI) currently trades at ₹505.45, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹117.35, implying the stock looks roughly 330.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of ₹147.14 per share, and 0 of the 12 models we run sit above the ₹505.45 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at ₹94.62, and 12 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Archean Chemical Industries Limited generated revenue of ₹11.2B at a net margin of 8.7%. Revenue grew 11.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.6%. Net debt stands at ₹3.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹110.36 (bear case) to ₹156.68 (bull case); at ₹505.45, 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 30% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −48% fair-value upside, at −77%, ACI screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly ₹3.43 per share, which is 2.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

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

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
