In the past one year, the market has run up phenomenally. Despite the deep cuts seen in March 2020, Sensex has gained about 50 percent in a year. Moneycontrol analysis of BSE stocks showed shares of eight companies gained over 200 percent during the same period. Despite the rally, their current trailing 12-month (TTM) price to earnings (P/E) ratios are below their 5-years average P/E multiple as well as below their respective industry P/E multiple. Price-to-earnings (P/E) is the most widely used valuation metric and plays a pivotal role in the stock screening process. If a stock is trading below its 5-years average P/E multiple then it can be assumed that the stock is trading below its fair value. We considered only the companies that posted a profit in each of the last five fiscal years and have a current market-cap of more than Rs 1,000 crore. (Data Source: ACE Equity).
