Analysis

LACTOSE (INDIA) LTD. (LACTOSE) currently trades at ₹100.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹105.95, implying the stock looks roughly 6.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Healthcare 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, LACTOSE (INDIA) LTD. generated revenue of ₹1.6B at a net margin of 3.7%. Revenue grew 64.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.8%. Net debt stands at ₹611M. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹79.40 (bear case) to ₹132.44 (bull case); at ₹100.00, 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 27% below its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -49% fair-value upside, at 6%, LACTOSE 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.

Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (₹174.79) versus DCF Models (₹10.00). Highest evidence: ROIC Compounder (72).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
