Crisil Limited cash-flow valuation
Our residual income (excess return on book) values Crisil Limited at ₹3,365 per share. Book value plus the present value of returns earned above the 10.6% cost of equity. It carries 40% of the weight in our published estimate of ₹4,535. A discounted cash flow is only as good as the cash-flow path it assumes, so the assumptions behind it are listed in full below.

Why this method for this business
CRISIL is an asset-light, high-moat business with durable earnings power. A relative P/E captures its premium over peers, while residual income reflects its book value and excess returns.
The models behind the number
Each method is weighted by how well its inputs held up for this company.
Book value plus the present value of returns earned above the 10.6% cost of equity
- dcf: Not suitable for a rating agency with stable, non-cyclical cash flows and no capital-intensive operations
What was missing
- Lack of forward EBITDA estimates
- Limited data on capital allocation efficiency
- No detailed analysis of the company's debt structure

Who computed this
A language model (qwen3:8b) selects the valuation method and the judgement inputs for Crisil 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.
