Analyst Note
Today
IRCTC trades at ₹516, significantly overvalued against a fair value of ₹222.2 with a -130.9% margin of safety, though medium confidence limits conviction. The company demonstrates strong fundamentals with robust 28.9% ROE, healthy 44.4% ROCE, and solid free cash flow of ₹786 Cr, yet ROCE is deteriorating and sector valuations remain expensive at 28.7x PE and 9.6x PB ratios. Revenue and earnings growth of 18.4% and 15.7% respectively are respectable, supported by a Piotroski score of 9 indicating strong financial health. This suits value-conscious investors willing to wait for meaningful price corrections.

Technical Pulse
Plain English — no jargon
Not enough price history to assess trend.
RSI is 36 — oversold territory. Selling pressure is high but may be slowing.
Insufficient data for short-term trend.
Trading significantly above fair value. Unless you believe the business has permanently re-rated, the risk-reward is unfavorable here.
