Larsen & Toubro at a glance

Larsen & Toubro trades under the ticker LT on the NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) and is classified in the Infrastructure / Utilities sector. This page brings together a live AI forecast, a discounted-cash-flow (DCF) valuation, and the fundamentals investors most often look at before taking a position.

Because Larsen & Toubro sits in the Infrastructure / Utilities space, its results tend to move with the drivers specific to that sector. The valuation framework below reflects the growth, risk and discount-rate assumptions we apply to Infrastructure / Utilities companies rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

How we value a Infrastructure / Utilities stock like Larsen & Toubro

Our 3-stage DCF model projects earnings for Larsen & Toubro using sector-calibrated growth: roughly 12.0% EPS growth in the high-growth phase (years 1–5), fading to about 8.0% (years 6–10), and a long-run terminal growth of 6.5%.

Those cash flows are discounted at an estimated cost of equity of 15.5%, built from a 7.0% risk-free rate, a sector beta of 1.00, and an equity risk premium of 8.5% (CAPM). The output is an intrinsic value per share and a "margin of safety" versus the current ₹ market price — shown live in the Valuation tab.

A near-market beta means Larsen & Toubro has roughly tracked the broader index in volatility terms.

Key things to watch with Larsen & Toubro

Before relying on any single number, sanity-check the inputs: is the current P/E reasonable versus Larsen & Toubro's own history and its Infrastructure / Utilities peers? Are earnings growing on a durable basis, or boosted by one-offs? How sensitive is the intrinsic value if growth comes in a couple of points below the sector assumption?

The AI Forecast tab adds qualitative colour — bull and bear cases, catalysts and risks — while the Valuation tab keeps the maths transparent. Treat both as a research starting point, not a recommendation.
