Analysis
Persistent Systems Limited (PERSISTENT) currently trades at ₹5,475, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹2,364, implying the stock looks roughly 56.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Persistent Systems Limited generated revenue of ₹147B at a net margin of 12.7%. Revenue grew 25.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 26.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹6.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹1,783 (bear case) to ₹4,509 (bull case); at ₹5,475, 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 17% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -1% fair-value upside, at -57%, PERSISTENT 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (₹3,523) versus Asset-Based (₹336.13). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
