Analysis

BASF India Limited (BASF) currently trades at ₹4,032, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,312, implying the stock looks roughly 67.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, BASF India Limited generated revenue of ₹149B at a net margin of 2.8%. Revenue grew 4.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹7.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 2, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹918.51 (bear case) to ₹1,706 (bull case); at ₹4,032, 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 23% below its 52-week high and 29% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -67%, BASF screens richer 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.

Widest divergence: DCF Models (₹2,314) versus Dividend Discount (₹321.36). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
