Analysis

Hercules Hoists Limited (HERCULES) currently trades at ₹121.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹41.02, implying the stock looks roughly 66.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (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 Hoists Limited generated revenue of ₹91.6M at a net margin of 85.7%. Revenue grew 62.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.0%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 50.8. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹30.76 (bear case) to ₹51.27 (bull case); at ₹121.50, 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 45% below its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -66%, 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based (₹144.80) versus Earnings-Based (₹13.10). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
