Key Takeaways

APL Apollo Tubes Ltd., Star Cement Ltd., Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., Supreme Industries Ltd., and Dalmia Bharat Ltd. are trading below their five-year average valuations.

These stocks have retained strong analyst support, with buy ratings exceeding 65% and upside potential of as much as 35.9%.

The shift in valuation comes as Indian equities continue to trade below levels seen before the US-Iran conflict began.

Before the selloff, investors were willing to pay steep premiums for several of these stocks relative to their own history. However, that changed over the following months, with some companies recording sharp declines in valuation premiums and moving below their long-term averages. For example, Prestige Estates Projects Ltd. traded at nearly 290% above its five-year average price-to-earnings multiple on February 27, but by June 4, that premium had narrowed to about 113%. Analysts see upside of 33.6%, while 78.6% recommend buying the stock.
