Nesco Limited Fair Value
NESCO · Services · Current price ₹1,045.9
Is Nesco Limited undervalued?
We estimate the fair value of Nesco Limited at ₹1,413 per share, against a market price of ₹1,102. That puts the share price about +28.2% below our estimate, at low confidence. This is our view of what the business is worth, not a target price or a forecast of where the share price will go.
How this fair value is calculated
This estimate comes from 2 methods: Fair multiple (P/E) (₹2,088), Residual income (excess return on book) (₹738). These methods disagree materially, so the estimate is their midpoint rather than a weighted blend, and the disagreement is part of the finding. The full working, including the assumptions and what data was missing, is set out below.
The range around this estimate
Our estimate for Nesco Limited spans ₹738 to ₹2,088. That range is wide, which is the honest signal here: read the range rather than the single number. A margin of safety means buying meaningfully below the estimate: the wider the range, the more room the assumptions leave for error.
How we got this fair value
Every number below is part of the same estimate for Nesco Limited. Nothing here is a target price or a forecast of where the share price will go.
The inputs are thin or the models disagree sharply. This is our least reliable kind of estimate, so read the range rather than the single number.
Estimate range ₹738 – ₹2,088
Why this method for this business
The business is asset-light with durable earnings power, making relative PE and residual income the most appropriate models. DCF is less relevant due to the lack of clear cash flow patterns and the presence of non-cash items.
The models behind the number
These methods disagree materially, so the estimate is their plain midpoint rather than a weighted blend. The disagreement is itself the finding.
Book value plus the present value of returns earned above the 10.6% cost of equity

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

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.
