Analysis
RITES Limited (RITES) currently trades at ₹221.72, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹179.27, implying the stock looks roughly 19.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 74/100 (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, RITES Limited generated revenue of ₹24.2B at a net margin of 17.0%. Revenue grew 24.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹29.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹134.45 (bear case) to ₹224.08 (bull case); at ₹221.72, 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 about 20% below its 52-week high and 27% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -34% fair-value upside, at -19%, RITES 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.
All 26 models by family
