Below Book Value + Profitable (P/B < 1) — Valuation stock screen for NSE and BSE companies
Companies trading below accounting book value while remaining profitable with ROCE above 12% — statistically cheap with the earnings still arriving. The screen evaluates valuation criteria across quarterly consolidated filings and surfaces P/B, ROCE, P/E, Net Profit for every matching company, alongside price, market capitalisation and valuation context.
Results are rebuilt from quarterly filings: anchor to a reporting period with the period control, switch between a focused metric view and the full column set, sort any column, and follow each symbol into its company page for statements, shareholding history and ratio analysis.
The methodology, column definitions and analysis guidelines on this page are free to read; the live results table is a JustTicks premium feature. Screening output is a research starting point — verify the underlying filings before acting, since a company can pass numerical filters while carrying risks the selected metrics never capture.

Companies trading below accounting book value while remaining profitable with ROCE above 12% — statistically cheap with the earnings still arriving. Results are rebuilt from quarterly consolidated filings for NSE and BSE listed companies, with a reporting-period control to anchor or compare windows.
Key analysis points
- P/E Ratio compares stock price to earnings per share
- P/B Ratio measures market value relative to book value
- EV/EBITDA is better for comparing companies with different debt levels
- PEG Ratio accounts for growth rate in valuation
- Low valuations may indicate value opportunities or value traps
Analysis guidelines
- Compare P/E with industry peers and historical averages
- Low P/E alone doesn't mean a stock is cheap - check earnings quality
- P/B < 1 can indicate undervaluation or accounting issues
- Use EV/EBITDA for capital-intensive industries
- PEG < 1 suggests growth at reasonable price
Pro tips
- Avoid stocks with very low P/E but declining earnings
- Look for consistent earnings growth alongside low valuations
- Check debt levels before buying low P/B stocks
- Combine valuation metrics with profitability ratios
