The share price is highly priced when compared to its fall in all financial parameters in the Q1’2021 quarterly report. The earning fundamentals are so strong and still, the value of the share is high.
You can’t buy a pen that is Rs. 100 for Rs. 1000 even in demand. So, understand the value of the purchase by calculating the intrinsic value.
Intrinsic Value of D MART Share:
§ The 5 years growth of EPS is 32.28
§ Let us take last year’s EPS (FY2019-20) – 20.49
§ Let us have a minimal Margin of Safety – 20%
These data are considered with last year’s performance. The FY2020-21 performance in terms of earnings will be even worse. Amid all the COVID situations, we have taken the previous year’s data. Even with those earnings,
Intrinsic Value = 800 (with a 20% margin of safety)
Intrinsic Value = 1010 (without any margin of safety)
So, considering the earning of FY2019-20, the perfect value to purchase the stock is around 800-1010. So, you can understand the price at which the D Mart is traded is almost two times the intrinsic value.
