Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 13 valuation models · updated yesterday
Share price +8.8% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 59% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The model range is unusually wide (₹436.69 to ₹2,013). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (54/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company (CHOLAFIN) currently trades at ₹1,928, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹796.52, implying the stock looks roughly 58.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company generated revenue of ₹132B at a net margin of 39.8%. Revenue grew 24.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.3%. Net debt stands at ₹2.0T. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹436.69 (bear case) to ₹2,013 (bull case); at ₹1,928, 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 near its 52-week high and 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -59%, CHOLAFIN 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.
All 13 models by family
