Analysis

HCL Technologies Limited (HCLTECH) currently trades at ₹1,370, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹1,722, implying the stock looks roughly 25.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 74/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, HCL Technologies Limited generated revenue of ₹14.7B at a net margin of 12.8%. Revenue grew 5.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 23.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹182B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ₹1,292 (bear case) to ₹2,153 (bull case); at ₹1,370, 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 about 22% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -6% fair-value upside, at 26%, HCLTECH 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.

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
