Analysis
Hercules Investments Limited (HERCULES) currently trades at ₹159.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹40.99, implying the stock looks roughly 74.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Hercules Investments Limited generated revenue of ₹89.1M at a net margin of 86.7%. It earns a return on equity of 1.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹7.9M. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 65.3. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹30.74 (bear case) to ₹51.23 (bull case); at ₹159.32, 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 29% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at -74%, HERCULES 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.
All 14 models by family
