Analysis
D. B. Corp (DBCORP) currently trades at ₹195.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹248.11, implying the stock looks roughly 21.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ₹317.06 per share, and 18 of the 22 models we run sit above the ₹195.65 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ₹91.29, and 4 of the 22 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, D. B. Corp generated revenue of ₹24.0B at a net margin of 14.7%. Revenue grew 7.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.3%. Net debt stands at ₹1.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹174.96 (bear case) to ₹341.66 (bull case); at ₹195.65, 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 30% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 27%, DBCORP screens cheaper 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 ₹5.55 per share, which is 1.6 % 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.
All 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (₹317.06) versus Asset-Based (₹91.29). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 63 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 42
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.
