Analysis
Sterling Tools Limited (STERTOOLS) currently trades at ₹221.90, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹158.86, implying the stock looks roughly 28.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average 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, Sterling Tools Limited generated revenue of ₹8.3B at a net margin of 3.5%. Revenue grew 11.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹120M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹102.50 (bear case) to ₹211.83 (bull case); at ₹221.90, 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 43% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -28%, STERTOOLS 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.
