Analysis
GHCL Limited (GHCL) currently trades at ₹429.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹589.84, implying the stock looks roughly 37.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, GHCL Limited generated revenue of ₹30.6B at a net margin of 15.4%. Revenue grew 1.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹66.2M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹397.31 (bear case) to ₹844.05 (bull case); at ₹429.00, 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 34% below its 52-week high and 6% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -60% fair-value upside, at 37%, GHCL screens cheaper 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.
