IT stock jumps 5% after board approves increase in buyback price
On 7 April 2025, KEC International (NSE:KECL) Limited was trading at just INR 657. For many investors, it was just another mid-cap stock going through its usual price swings. But those who looked beyond the price, those who focused on its valuation, saw something more. At the time, its fair value was pegged at INR 891 -indicating a strong upside potential of 35.6%.
Fast forward to 27 May 2025, and the stock hit that very level. A clean, double-digit return of 35.6% in under two months. That’s not a hypothetical profit. That’s what investors could’ve walked away with, had they recognized the hidden value early.

This is the real power of understanding a stock’s fair value. It cuts through the market noise, allowing investors to focus on what a company is truly worth, not just what the market says it’s worth at the moment.
The fair value feature on InvestingPro automates this entire process. No spreadsheets. No complicated formulas. Just a well-rounded, model-driven estimation that reflects the intrinsic value of a stock—based on real fundamentals, not market speculation. Whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued, the system gives a clear picture, helping investors make more grounded, data-backed decisions.
What’s even better? Fair value isn’t based on one rigid model. It brings together multiple valuation frameworks to arrive at a highly refined estimate, giving users confidence in their buying or selling decisions.
In a market where timing and valuation matter more than ever, not having access to this kind of clarity can cost investors real money. KEC International is just one example. There have been many others—hidden gems quietly sitting under the radar, only visible to those who knew where to look.
With InvestingPro currently offering discounts of up to 45% for a limited time, now might be the right moment to unlock tools that help you invest smarter, not harder. Fair value is just one of many features, but for those seeking an edge in a volatile market, it could easily be the most powerful one.
