The bull case for OIL

  • Trades at just 10.4× earnings, below the ~22× long-run Nifty average, so the valuation leaves room rather than pricing in perfection.
  • Low price-to-book of 1.18×, the market is paying little over the company's net assets.
  • A healthy 12.3% return on equity.
  • Pays a 2.7% dividend yield, so you're partly paid to wait.
  • Upside scenario: the model's optimistic (P90) 3-year path reaches ₹669.

The bear case & risks

  • The probability model is cautious 12 months out, only a 38% chance of finishing above today's price.
  • Downside scenario: the model's pessimistic (P10) 3-year path falls to ₹122.

OIL volatility & expected range, how bumpy is the ride?

Over the last 2.0 years OIL compounded at -6%/year with annualized volatility of 38%. That volatility implies a 1-year 80% range of ₹226₹606, the honest backbone behind any single price target.

How the OIL Snapshot Score & forecast are built

The Downstox Snapshot Score is a transparent, rules-based read of Oil India's public fundamentals plus a statistical forecast, not an analyst opinion. It rewards low-to-fair valuation, high ROE/ROCE, a strong Piotroski F-Score, a dividend, low volatility and a favourable probability of upside; it penalises rich valuations, weak capital efficiency, a low F-Score and high volatility. The price target is a 10,000-path Monte-Carlo simulation on real historical volatility, a distribution, not a single guess. The bull and bear cases are generated from the same data, so you always see both sides.
