Valuation Screeners
Is the price right? These screeners compare NSE stocks against estimated fair value to surface bargains and overheated names. Dedicated PE, PB, PEG and EV/EBITDA filters are coming soon — for now, start with the composite overvalued and undervalued lists below.
Overvalued Stocks
NSE stocks trading meaningfully above their estimated fair value — useful for spotting froth, rotation targets and shorting candidates.

What does "undervalued" really mean?
An NSE stock is undervalued when its market price sits below an estimate of intrinsic value — typically below historical PE bands, below industry-average PE, or below a growth-adjusted fair-value model. The Undervalued list on this hub blends several methods (PE, PB, PEG, growth-adjusted DCF) so a stock has to look cheap across multiple lenses before it appears. The Overvalued list is the inverse — useful for spotting froth, short candidates, or stocks to rotate out of as a position grows past fair value.
PE vs PB vs PEG — which to use
PE (Price / Earnings) is the default for stable, profitable businesses. A PE of 20 means investors are paying ₹20 today for ₹1 of annual earnings. Use it for FMCG, banks, large-cap IT — businesses with predictable earnings.
PB (Price / Book) is the right ratio for asset-heavy businesses where book value approximates replacement cost — banks, financials, utilities, capital-goods. Buffett famously bought banks at PB < 1.
PEG (PE / Earnings Growth) is for growth stocks. A PEG below 1 suggests the price hasn’t caught up to the growth rate. Tech and consumer growth names should be valued on PEG, not raw PE — a PE of 60 on a company growing 40% YoY can still be cheap.
EV/EBITDA strips out capital structure differences — use when comparing companies with very different debt loads.
The value-trap warning
The hardest lesson in value investing: cheap can stay cheap, or get cheaper. A stock at 5x PE may be a screaming bargain — or may be pricing in a known earnings collapse you don’t yet see. Always cross-check Undervalued candidates against the Quality Scorecard. A 7+ Quality Scorecard + Undervalued combination historically outperforms either filter alone on Indian markets. Avoid the inverse — high Undervalued score with sub-5 Quality Scorecard is the textbook value trap.
How to use the valuation screener
- 1Open the Undervalued list and immediately add a Quality Scorecard filter (≥ 7) to remove value traps.
- 2Sort the filtered list by your preferred ratio — PE for stable businesses, PB for banks/financials, PEG for growth names.
- 3For each candidate, check the 5-year PE chart on /stocks/[symbol] — is the current PE below its own historical range, or just below the broader market median?
- 4Verify the recent earnings trajectory — falling profits make any historical PE chart look artificially cheap.
- 5Use the Overvalued list to flag positions in your portfolio that have grown past fair value and may need rebalancing.
