Analysis
ACV Auctions Inc (ACVA) currently trades at $7.46, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.61, implying the stock looks roughly 24.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, ACV Auctions Inc generated revenue of $781M at a net margin of -8.0%. Revenue grew 11.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -14.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $81.5M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $4.07 (bear case) to $7.16 (bull case); at $7.46, 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 56% below its 52-week high and 84% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -25%, ACVA 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 9 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($8.95) versus Dividend Discount ($0.4000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
