What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (₹621.03). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The model range is unusually wide (₹198.18 to ₹621.03). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Bharat Forge Limited (BHARATFORG) currently trades at ₹1,956, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹393.20, implying the stock looks roughly 397.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of ₹421.52 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the ₹1,956 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ₹134.25, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Bharat Forge Limited generated revenue of ₹168B at a net margin of 6.4%. Revenue grew 17.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.6%. Net debt stands at ₹63.2B. Fundamentals as of Aug 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹198.18 (bear case) to ₹621.03 (bull case); at ₹1,956, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 4% below its 52-week high and 78% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −38% fair-value upside, at −80%, BHARATFORG screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly ₹6.25 per share, which is 1.6 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
