Valuation

Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $115.54 per share, and 15 of the 20 models we run sit above the $43.96 price.

Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $15.21, and 5 of the 20 models stay below the price. Data coverage for this calculation is medium.

Scenario range: $36.81 (bear) to $83.48 (bull), the price of $43.96 sits inside it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target.

Quality & growth

The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector.

Healthy Growth: Revenue growth appears healthy and is supported by profitability and cash-flow quality.

Competitive moat

Our AI-assisted moat analysis scores the competitive advantage at 42 out of 100 (medium confidence).

What moves the price

The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat.

The share trades about 40% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average.

For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −11% fair-value upside, at 46%, FOUR screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Bear $36.81 Fair Value $64.21 Bull $83.48
Price $43.96 · Upside +46.1%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then ($0.7095 per share) are deliberately not added. Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 90/100
Revenue growth appears healthy and is supported by profitability and cash-flow quality.
Revenue growth 1 year
+25.5%
Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+28.0%
Revenue growth 5 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.

Revenue growth 7 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+33.2%
What shareholders gained per year (last 3 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 3 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: adjusted.

Growth Forecast

Little optimism in the price
The price assumes less growth than the company has delivered so far and less than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+6.0%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+13.3%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +3.5% a year for the price and +10.7% for the forecasts.

Note from the team Oct 11, 2026
AI conclusion: Shift4's main strength lies in its specialized positioning for complex in-person payments at hotels and venues together with international expansion efforts while its primary weakness is low profitability paired with high leverage that limits moat signals.
Main risk: Foreign exchange swings and travel disruptions tied to the Global Blue business threaten revenue growth targets and the reliability of management guidance.
Shift4 builds its edge in complex in-person payments for hotels, restaurants and venues while pushing international expansion through recent platform additions. Guidance faced cuts from foreign exchange swings and travel disruptions tied to its Global Blue business, even as management outlined sustained low-20s percent payments revenue growth targets outside the Americas over time. Our models see the shares as undervalued. Will the international compounding outpace the near-term macro drags?

Over the last 5 years revenue grew +40.4 % per year. As of Nov 8, 2026.
What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of FOUR use?
Our models discount Shift4 Payments Inc at 10.9 %: a base by market capitalisation (mid), damped by beta 1.48, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For Shift4 Payments Inc that is +6.0 % per year for five years, then slowing evenly to 2 % by year ten, using the same discount rate (10.9 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has Shift4 Payments Inc (FOUR) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at Shift4 Payments Inc grew +40.4 % a year. The price currently implies free-cash-flow growth of +6.0 % per year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.
How fast is the sector of Shift4 Payments Inc (FOUR) growing?
The median revenue growth in the sector is +7.8 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into Shift4 Payments Inc (+6.0 % per year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.
What is the free cash flow yield of Shift4 Payments Inc (FOUR)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 14.25 %: that much free cash flow Shift4 Payments Inc produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (10.9 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of Shift4 Payments Inc (FOUR)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Shift4 Payments Inc it is $64.21 per share (as of Nov 8, 2026), against a price of $43.96. It is the blended result of 20 valuation models in 6 families (DCF Models, Earnings-Based, Multiples, Growth DCF, Economic Profit, Growth Earnings).
Is Shift4 Payments Inc stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?
As of Nov 8, 2026, FOUR trades below its calculated fair value: price $43.96, fair value $64.21, a gap of about +46% (undervalued). The calculation is refreshed with each new quarterly report, so the verdict can change during the year.
Is fair value the same as the market price of FOUR?
No. The price is what the market pays today ($43.96); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify ($64.21). For Shift4 Payments Inc the two are $20.25 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.
How much is Shift4 Payments Inc worth?
The market values Shift4 Payments Inc at about $3.5B (market capitalisation, as of Nov 8, 2026). Per share that is $43.96; our models calculate a fair value of $64.21 per share.

Our models span a range for Shift4 Payments Inc: cautious scenario $36.81, base $64.21, optimistic $83.48 per share (as of Nov 8, 2026, price $43.96). The range comes from different growth and margin assumptions, not from analyst opinions.
What is the P/E ratio of FOUR?
Shift4 Payments Inc trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.0 (as of Nov 8, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $64.21 is built from several models across several years. Excluding one-off items of fiscal year 2025 it is 21.4 (reported for FY2025: 32.8). Other multiples: PEG 0.3, P/B 2.4, P/S 0.7, EV/EBITDA 7.8.
What is the PEG ratio of FOUR?
The PEG ratio of Shift4 Payments Inc is 0.32 (P/E divided by earnings growth, as of Nov 8, 2026). That is below 1, so growth is priced more cheaply than the earnings multiple alone suggests.
How solid is the balance sheet of Shift4 Payments Inc (FOUR)?
Balance-sheet figures for Shift4 Payments Inc (as of Nov 8, 2026): return on equity 6.8%, debt of 3.15 per unit of equity. They feed the Quality Score of 43/100, which measures business quality independently of the share price.
