what is the fair value of RDB Rasayan
RDB Rasayans does not have a single, universally accepted “fair value”, but based on current public numbers you can frame an approximate valuation range.
Key current data (as of 27 March 2026 close): (screener.in)
- Price: ~₹165
- Market cap: ~₹293 crore
- TTM EPS: ~₹19.9 per share (TTM)
- Book value: ~₹131 per share
- P/E: ~8.3x
- P/B: ~1.3x
- ROE (last year): ~13%
- Company is effectively debt‑free; profits include high “other income” (~₹25 crore on TTM basis, a large part of total earnings). (screener.in)
1) Relative P/E–based fair value (illustrative)
Comparable listed Indian packaging names (like Uflex, Cosmo First) have tended to trade in low double‑digit P/E ranges (roughly 11–15x in recent data). (blinkx.in)
Given:
- RDB Rasayans is a small-cap with concentrated business and a big “other income” component (less robust than core operating profit), a discount to such peers is reasonable.
Illustrative approach (not a recommendation):
- Use a conservative fair P/E band: 10–12x TTM EPS
- TTM EPS ≈ ₹19.9
Then:
- At 10x: Fair value ≈ 10 × 19.9 ≈ ₹200
- At 12x: Fair value ≈ 12 × 19.9 ≈ ₹240
So, on a simple relative P/E basis, a mechanical fair value band might be around ₹200–₹240, versus the recent market price of ~₹165 (i.e., roughly 20–45% higher than current, on these assumptions).
2) P/B and return profile cross‑check
- Book value ≈ ₹131 per share; at ₹165, P/B ≈ 1.3x. (screener.in)
- ROE is ~13% with modest growth and high other income.
For such a business:
- A P/B in the 1.5–1.8x range is often considered reasonable if ROE is sustainable and growth visibility is decent.
- That implies a rough level of ₹195–₹235 (1.5–1.8 × ₹131) as another cross‑check band.
This is broadly consistent with the P/E‑based band above.
How to interpret this
- The ₹200–₹240 zone is an illustrative “fair value” band derived from simple relative‑valuation (P/E and P/B) using current reported numbers and sector benchmarks; it is not a formal CNI target price or investment advice.
- Actual fair value depends on:
- How much of the current earnings you treat as core vs other income.
- Your assumptions on future growth, margins and capital allocation.
- Liquidity and small‑cap risk premium you require.
