Analysis
Quess Corp Limited (QUESS) currently trades at ₹343.90, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹277.46, implying the stock looks roughly 19.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (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, Quess Corp Limited generated revenue of ₹153B at a net margin of 1.5%. Revenue declined 28.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹824M. Fundamentals as of Aug 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹203.88 (bear case) to ₹345.44 (bull case); at ₹343.90, 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 near its 52-week high and 110% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 21% fair-value upside, at -19%, QUESS 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
