What growth does this price require?Change the assumptions and see the earnings hurdle
Start with the stored P/E of 30.20×. If the future P/E is lower, earnings must work harder to deliver the same price return.
For a 10% annual price return over 5 years at a future P/E of 22.65×.
Defaults illustrate a 25% fall in P/E, 10% annual price return and five years. They are assumptions, not forecasts. This is EPS growth, not total-profit growth; changes in share count matter. Dividends, taxes and costs are excluded.
Formula & data basis
Required growth = (1 + annual price return) × (current P/E ÷ future P/E)1 / years − 1. Returns and growth use decimals in this formula.
Uses the stored P/E and its underlying earnings basis, which may differ from the dated financial tables. Quote record: 26 September 2026, 7:42 am +05:30.

Analysis summary
Data coverage: Price-data record updated 26 September 2026, 7:42 am +05:30. Annual results through Mar 2025; quarterly results through Dec 2025; cash flow through Mar 2026. Each section can have a different reporting period. The share price is not live.
Valuation in context
Benares Hotels Ltd: the stored intrinsic value estimate is ₹6,407.74, compared with a stored share price of ₹10,224.00. The model value is 37.3% below that quote. The model classifies this as overvalued; it is an estimate dependent on the inputs and assumptions, not a price target or a buy/sell recommendation.
Operating performance
Revenue for Mar 2025 was ₹135.00 Cr, versus ₹121.00 Cr in Mar 2024 (11.6% year on year). Net profit for Mar 2025 was ₹43.00 Cr, versus ₹36.00 Cr in Mar 2024 (19.4% year on year). These are the latest annual periods stored on this page; check the quarterly table separately for more recent developments.
Cash generation
For the same Mar 2025 period, operating cash flow was ₹42.00 Cr against net profit of ₹43.00 Cr. Cash flow covered 0.98 times reported profit. Cash generation supports the reported profit for this period; check whether this continues over several years.
Balance-sheet check
Reported borrowings were ₹4.00 Cr in Mar 2026. Read this alongside cash, interest costs and repayment obligations; reserves are an accounting balance and are not the same as available cash.
How to use the valuation and peer comparisons
The Intrinsic Value panel combines the available model estimates using the displayed weights. Earnings, cash-flow, dividend and asset-based methods can give very different answers. The displayed 12% cost of equity and 4% terminal growth assumptions apply where relevant; historical EPS growth is not a promise of future growth. Use the individual values and their spread to judge sensitivity.
The peer group follows the stored industry classification and may include different business models. Compare reporting periods, leverage and recurring earnings before interpreting a valuation gap. For banks and other financial businesses, capital adequacy and asset quality can be more informative than industrial-company cash-flow ratios.
Sources: Company data source. Check the company filings linked by the source for the reporting basis and exceptional items.
Automatically generated interpretation of the stored financial data, not a separately researched analyst opinion. Missing data is not evidence of poor performance. New filings become available here after the existing data refresh process captures them.
Business quality
Data coverage: 5/5 dimensions. Financial reporting periods vary by section.
Weights: Health 30% · Earnings Quality 25% · Momentum 20% · Peer Comparison 15% · Ownership Trends 10%. Scores use stored reporting periods and are screening indicators, not investment recommendations. Missing dimensions are excluded and the remaining weights are rescaled. At least three dimensions are required for an overall score. Holding movements describe ownership shares, not proven trading flows. Broad industry groups and financial-sector accounting can limit comparability.
