Analysis
Hindustan Copper Limited (HINDCOPPER) currently trades at ₹536.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹158.42, implying the stock looks roughly 70.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 84/100 (high quality), in the Basic Materials 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Hindustan Copper Limited generated revenue of ₹30.8B at a net margin of 29.8%. Revenue grew 58.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 30.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹7.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹120.62 (bear case) to ₹196.22 (bull case); at ₹536.10, 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 138% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -70%, HINDCOPPER 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.
