Analysis
PCBL LIMITED (PCBL) currently trades at ₹315.45, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹102.88, implying the stock looks roughly 67.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average 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, PCBL LIMITED generated revenue of ₹81.9B at a net margin of 2.4%. Revenue declined 1.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.1%. Net debt stands at ₹47.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹76.05 (bear case) to ₹128.60 (bull case); at ₹315.45, 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. The share trades about 27% below its 52-week high and 39% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at -67%, PCBL 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.
