Analysis
S Chand And Company Limited (SCHAND) currently trades at ₹137.86, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹365.37, implying the stock looks roughly 165.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, S Chand And Company Limited generated revenue of ₹8.0B at a net margin of 9.5%. Revenue grew 16.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.2%. Net debt stands at ₹236M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹229.19 (bear case) to ₹561.37 (bull case); at ₹137.86, the current price sits below 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 40% below its 52-week high and 9% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 165%, SCHAND 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.
