Analysis
Acerinox, S.A (ACX) currently trades at €17.97, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €6.72, implying the stock looks roughly 62.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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).
Over the trailing twelve months, Acerinox, S.A generated revenue of €5.6B at a net margin of -0.8%. Revenue declined 10.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.6%. Net debt stands at €1.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €2.56 (bear case) to €10.88 (bull case); at €17.97, 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 near its 52-week high and 85% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at -63%, ACX 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 15 models by family
