Analysis
Kaveri Seed Company (KSCL) currently trades at ₹760.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹478.87, implying the stock looks roughly 37.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid 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, Kaveri Seed Company generated revenue of ₹12.8B at a net margin of 19.5%. Revenue declined 13.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.2%. Net debt stands at ₹21.0M. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹394.14 (bear case) to ₹948.66 (bull case); at ₹760.05, 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 38% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -13% fair-value upside, at -37%, KSCL 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.
All 15 models by family
