Is Greaves Cotton overvalued or undervalued?

As of 6 November 2025, the valuation grade for Greaves Cotton has moved from very expensive to expensive. The company is currently considered overvalued based on its high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 45.64, which significantly exceeds the industry average. Additionally, the EV to EBITDA ratio stands at 14.08, further indicating a premium valuation relative to its earnings potential. The PEG ratio of 0.46 suggests that while growth may be anticipated, the current price does not adequately reflect this potential.
In comparison to peers, Cummins India is classified as very expensive with a PE of 56.21, while Kirloskar Oil is rated attractive with a PE of 32.01 and an EV to EBITDA of 15.64. This highlights that Greaves Cotton, despite its expensive classification, is still relatively more affordable than Cummins India but less so than Kirloskar Oil. Notably, Greaves Cotton's recent stock performance has lagged behind the Sensex, with a year-to-date decline of 26.82% compared to the Sensex's gain of 6.62%, reinforcing the view that the stock may be overvalued in the current market context.
