Analysis
CarTrade Tech Limited (CARTRADE) currently trades at ₹2,715, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹789.41, implying the stock looks roughly 70.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 79/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, CarTrade Tech Limited generated revenue of ₹7.8B at a net margin of 28.6%. Revenue grew 19.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.9%. Net debt stands at ₹992M. Fundamentals as of Aug 2, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹592.06 (bear case) to ₹986.76 (bull case); at ₹2,715, 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 18% below its 52-week high and 70% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -71%, CARTRADE 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.
