Analysis

Ipca Laboratories Limited (IPCALAB) currently trades at ₹1,736, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,599, implying the stock looks roughly 7.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare 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, Ipca Laboratories Limited generated revenue of ₹96.5B at a net margin of 11.8%. Revenue grew 6.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.2%. Net debt stands at ₹2.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹988.35 (bear case) to ₹1,999 (bull case); at ₹1,736, 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 near its 52-week high and 39% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -49% fair-value upside, at -8%, IPCALAB 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.
