Analysis

ACCO Brands Corporation (ACCO) currently trades at $4.41, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.43, implying the stock looks roughly 23.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, ACCO Brands Corporation generated revenue of $1.6B at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue grew 8.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.5%. Net debt stands at $856M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $4.98 (bear case) to $9.04 (bull case); at $4.41, the current price sits below 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 near its 52-week high and 60% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -32% fair-value upside, at 23%, ACCO screens cheaper 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.

Model 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. Evidence
