What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (£1.34). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (32/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Ashoka India Equity Investment Trust PLC (AIE) currently trades at £2.55, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £1.10, implying the stock looks roughly 131.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 32/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of £1.88 per share, and 0 of the 5 models we run sit above the £2.55 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at £0.5200, and 5 of the 5 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Revenue grew 30.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −8.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of £27.4M. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £0.8700 (bear case) to £1.34 (bull case); at £2.55, 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. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at −57%, AIE screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
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.
All 5 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (£1.88) versus Earnings-Based (£0.5200). Highest evidence: EPV (70).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 35 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 59
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
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.
