Analysis

Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) currently trades at ₹1,399, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,131, implying the stock looks roughly 19.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (below-average 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, Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Limited generated revenue of ₹28.3B at a net margin of 15.0%. Revenue grew 34.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.7%. Net debt stands at ₹9.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹791.79 (bear case) to ₹1,532 (bull case); at ₹1,399, 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 17% below its 52-week high and 101% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -42% fair-value upside, at -19%, IMFA 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
