What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (₹6,796). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (60/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range (₹3,340 to ₹6,796) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Polycab India Limited (POLYCAB) currently trades at ₹9,315, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹5,357, implying the stock looks roughly 42.5% overvalued today. We read business quality at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Polycab India Limited generated revenue of ₹289B at a net margin of 9.3%. Revenue grew 26.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.6%. Net debt stands at ₹36.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹3,340 (bear case) to ₹6,796 (bull case); at ₹9,315, 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 5% below its 52-week high and 62% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -43%, POLYCAB 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.
