Analysis
PROTEAN EGOV TECHNOLOGIES LTD (PROTEAN) currently trades at ₹548.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹430.69, implying the stock looks roughly 21.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (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, PROTEAN EGOV TECHNOLOGIES LTD generated revenue of ₹10.0B at a net margin of 10.1%. Revenue grew 38.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹990M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹329.11 (bear case) to ₹532.27 (bull case); at ₹548.50, 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 42% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at 0% fair-value upside, at -21%, PROTEAN 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
