What Is Dalmia Bharat Worth?

Dalmia Bharat appears to be overvalued by 30% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at ₹1,898 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of ₹1460.14. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. Furthermore, Dalmia Bharat’s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range.

What kind of growth will Dalmia Bharat generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company's future expectations. With profit expected to more than double over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Dalmia Bharat. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in DALBHARAT’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. However, this brings up another question – is now the right time to sell? If you believe DALBHARAT should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on DALBHARAT for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for DALBHARAT, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
