What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (₹118.48). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid quality (68/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis
Jagran Prakashan Limited (JAGRAN) currently trades at ₹61.79, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹163.92, implying the stock looks roughly 165.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: low), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Jagran Prakashan Limited generated revenue of ₹18.8B at a net margin of 10.5%. Revenue declined 1.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.8%. Net debt stands at ₹59.5M. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹118.48 (bear case) to ₹212.55 (bull case); at ₹61.79, the current price sits below 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 10% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 4% fair-value upside, at 165%, JAGRAN 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.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (₹179.39) versus Asset-Based (₹62.04). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
