FULL LIST OF 540 UNDERVALUED / OVERVALUED INDIAN STOCKS
Valuing so many stocks is a challenge, given that each one has unique fundamentals and expected growth. I just did a calculation of what are the companies worth, if they can maintain only half of their past growth in the future. DCF models work only with companies which have stable cash flow and are usually in a mature phase. Companies with negative earnings were omitted. Some values might be unreliable, if there is a big difference in expected growth rates in the past and analyst projections for the future.
Here are some notable examples (using discount rates of 10%, 12%, 14%), a negative value means a stock is overvalued, positive is undervalued:
