Firstsource Solutions: what the price is assuming

To justify its price of ₹248, this stock must grow earnings at 15% every year for 7 years. Our analysis caps realistic growth at ~19%. At that growth it is worth ₹306 — upside of 24%.

Your assumptions

Change any of these and the value moves. A valuation that flips on a one-point change in the required return is telling you something.

Normalized net profit is discounted as a proxy for owner earnings, not full free cash flow. An analytical tool, not investment advice.

How to read this valuation

1. Start from the price, not the forecast. A normal DCF asks you to guess growth and hands back a fair value. Run backwards, it takes today's price and solves for the earnings growth the market is already assuming.
2. Compare that with what the company has done. The historical profit and EPS CAGR sit beside the implied number. A price that needs 25% a year from a business that has compounded at 10% is asking a lot, and the gap is the risk you are taking on.
3. Then apply your own view. Change the growth rate, how long it lasts, how it fades and the return you require. A valuation that flips on a one-point change in the discount rate is telling you something about itself.
4. Mind the caveats. Normalized net profit stands in for owner earnings, not full free cash flow; terminal growth is capped at 6%, roughly nominal GDP; cyclicals are flagged because a peak-earnings base overstates value. This is an analytical tool, not investment advice.
