What is the probability PFC goes up, or doubles?
The bull case for PFC
- Trades at just 5.6× earnings, below the ~22× long-run Nifty average, so the valuation leaves room rather than pricing in perfection.
- Low price-to-book of 1.09×, the market is paying little over the company's net assets.
- High return on equity (20.7%), the business compounds shareholder capital efficiently, the hallmark of a quality franchise.
- Pays a 3.6% dividend yield, so you're partly paid to wait.
- Upside scenario: the model's optimistic (P90) 3-year path reaches ₹635.
The bear case & risks
- The probability model is cautious 12 months out, only a 36% chance of finishing above today's price.
- Downside scenario: the model's pessimistic (P10) 3-year path falls to ₹142.
PFC volatility & expected range, how bumpy is the ride?
Over the last 2.0 years PFC compounded at -6%/year with annualized volatility of 33%. That volatility implies a 1-year 80% range of ₹251–₹586, the honest backbone behind any single price target.

How the PFC Snapshot Score & forecast are built
The Downstox Snapshot Score is a transparent, rules-based read of Power Finance Corp'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.
