Affle 3i Limited cash-flow valuation
Our engine did not use a discounted-cash-flow model for Affle 3i Limited. It routes each business to the methods that suit it, and a DCF is a poor lens where cash-flow forecasts are fragile or the business is capital-structure driven. The methods it did use, and why, are set out below. Our published estimate is ₹2,370.

Why this method for this business
Affle is an asset-light IT services company with durable earnings power and a wide moat. Relative P/E and EV/EBITDA are the most appropriate models for valuing such businesses.
The models behind the number
Each method is weighted by how well its inputs held up for this company.
required inputs missing
- dcf: Not suitable for IT services due to high growth and intangible assets
- fair multiple (P/E): Already included in relative PE model
What was missing

peer-anchor mismatch — deep own-history used instead
quality 65/100 (high, stable returns) → premium (ROCE deteriorating → premium halved)
durable ~33% CAGR (ROCE 28% > hurdle) → premium
capital allocation: falling ROCE / weak cash generation → discount
financial strength: effectively debt-free → premium
history: market paid +26% vs sector, dampened ×0.3 (one feature, not the anchor)
sector re-rating: no sector-norm history → not used
rates: risk-free 6.9% below ~7.1% normal → higher multiple
risk: no analyst-dispersion signal available → neutral (lowers confidence, not PE)

Who computed this
A language model (qwen3:8b) selects the valuation method and the judgement inputs for Affle 3i Limited: which models suit the business, the moat, the growth and margin assumptions. It does not produce the number. The fair value itself is computed in Python by a deterministic engine (version 2026.08.1) from those inputs, so the same inputs always give the same result and every figure above can be traced to a source.
Estimated 14 Sept 2026. Re-run as new financials and news arrive.
How we value stocks
We estimate what a business is worth from its own economics: cash flows, returns on capital, and a multiple justified by its quality, rather than from where the share price has been. A fair value estimate is a view, not a verdict, and it is only as good as the inputs listed above.
