Analysis
Varun Beverages Limited (VBL) currently trades at ₹436.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹187.49, implying the stock looks roughly 57.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Varun Beverages Limited generated revenue of ₹227B at a net margin of 14.0%. Revenue grew 18.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.8%. Net debt stands at ₹2.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹90.57 (bear case) to ₹234.54 (bull case); at ₹436.10, 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 22% below its 52-week high and 15% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -16% fair-value upside, at -57%, VBL 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 26 models by family
