Fair value as of: Aug 17, 2026
From 1 valuation models · updated 4 days ago
Share price +12.5% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 83% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (₹10.66). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (53/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (₹5.63 to ₹10.66) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
WATERBASE LTD. (WATERBASE) currently trades at ₹50.38, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹8.53, implying the stock looks roughly 83.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, WATERBASE LTD. generated revenue of ₹3.5B at a net margin of -4.2%. Revenue grew 3.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -9.9%. Net debt stands at ₹589M. Fundamentals as of Aug 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹5.63 (bear case) to ₹10.66 (bull case); at ₹50.38, 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 26% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -83%, WATERBASE 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.
