A like-for-like valuation of ADANI PORTS AND SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (ADANIPORTS) and LARSEN & TOUBRO (LT), each built from its own filed accounts and set side by side — price against estimated worth, on the same measures.
These two cannot be reduced to a single side-by-side number.
We do not publish one fair-value figure for LARSEN & TOUBRO, because the model that fits it does not collapse to a single per-share value we can stand behind. Compare them instead on the method each is valued by, the multiples they trade on, and what today's price already assumes — all set out below.
Every figure below is drawn from each company's own filed statements. Estimated fair value is the per-share figure our engine will stand behind; where a business needs a model that does not reduce to one number, it is shown as “—”.

Operating infrastructure against building it.
Worked backwards from today's share price: the rate each company must sustain to justify what it costs, against what its own ten-year record supports.
Same method, same filed accounts — each of these works both companies through to a fair value.

Each company is valued from its own filed financial statements — ten years of results — using the method that fits that business, then set beside the other on price, valuation multiples, return on equity and what today's share price already assumes. It is a like-for-like comparison of the workings, not investment advice.
