Analysis
Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Limited (KMEW) currently trades at ₹2,757, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹482.31, implying the stock looks roughly 82.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average 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, Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Limited generated revenue of ₹2.6B at a net margin of 30.8%. Revenue grew 42.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.0%. Net debt stands at ₹1.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹346.55 (bear case) to ₹618.06 (bull case); at ₹2,757, 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. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 7% fair-value upside, at -83%, KMEW 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.
