Fair value as of: Jul 25, 2026
From 10 valuation models · updated 16 days ago
Share price +2.0% over the past month.
A strong business, but screening 50% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 76/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($23.18). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $20.92 – $40.92 · fair‑value band $13.91 – $23.18 · the $37.12 price screens above the $18.54 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 25, 2026.
Analysis
AllianceBernstein Holding (AB) currently trades at $37.12, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.54, implying the stock looks roughly 50.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 76/100 (high quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $333M. Revenue declined 40.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $832M. Fundamentals as of Jul 25, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $13.91 (bear case) to $23.18 (bull case); at $37.12, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -50%, AB screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 10 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($116.17) versus Asset-Based ($8.87). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
