Valuation in context
H T Media Ltd: the stored intrinsic value estimate is ₹14.58, compared with a stored share price of ₹24.40. The model value is 40.2% 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.

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.
Investment Snapshot

Missing health ratios are excluded. Broad industry groups and financial-sector accounting can limit comparability.

Frequently asked questions
What is the intrinsic value of H T Media Ltd and is it undervalued?
H T Media Ltd: the stored intrinsic value estimate is ₹14.58, compared with a stored share price of ₹24.40. The model value is 40.2% 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. The estimate uses the available valuation models and weights shown in the Intrinsic Value panel, including earnings, cash-flow and asset-based approaches where data permits. It is not a P/E-only calculation.
What share price and 52-week range are shown for H T Media Ltd?
The stored share price is ₹24.40. Price-data record updated: 25 September 2026, 8:11 am +05:30. This is not a live quote. The stored 52-week high / low is 31.3/17.5; this is a rolling range, not a financial-year range.
How have H T Media Ltd's revenue and profit changed?
Revenue for Mar 2025 was ₹1,806.00 Cr, versus ₹1,695.00 Cr in Mar 2024 (6.5% year on year). Net profit for Mar 2025 was ₹14.00 Cr, versus ₹-91.00 Cr in Mar 2024 (a return to profit). These are the latest annual periods stored on this page; check the quarterly table separately for more recent developments.
Does H T Media Ltd's profit convert into cash?
For the same Mar 2025 period, operating cash flow was ₹57.00 Cr against net profit of ₹14.00 Cr. Cash flow covered 4.07 times reported profit. Cash generation supports the reported profit for this period; check whether this continues over several years.
What should I check in H T Media Ltd's balance sheet?
Reported borrowings were ₹766.00 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 should I compare H T Media Ltd's P/E with other stocks?
The stored P/E is 4.66. Compare companies with similar business models, growth, leverage and accounting periods. The industry group on this page is broad, and its average can be affected by outliers. A lower P/E alone does not establish undervaluation.
What could change H T Media Ltd's intrinsic value estimate?
Changes in sustainable earnings, cash generation, capital needs, debt and share count can change the estimate. The displayed model uses a 12% cost of equity and 4% terminal growth assumption where applicable. Higher discount rates or weaker growth generally reduce discounted values. Compare the individual model values and weights, and verify fresh filings before relying on the result.
