Analysis

Linc Limited (LINC) currently trades at ₹95.21, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹105.69, implying the stock looks roughly 9.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ₹105.69 per share, and 6 of the 15 models we run sit above the ₹95.21 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ₹29.03, and 9 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Linc Limited generated revenue of ₹5.4B at a net margin of 5.8%. Revenue grew 1.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.3%. Net debt stands at ₹29.0M. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹73.98 (bear case) to ₹137.40 (bull case); at ₹95.21, 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 32% below its 52-week high and 12% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −62% fair-value upside, at 11%, LINC screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly ₹3.62 per share, which is 3.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
