How to read this chart
60‑month range R60.06 – R121.37 · fair‑value band R91.36 – R191.14 · the R95.94 price screens below the R141.50 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 11, 2026.
Analysis
AVI Limited (AVI) currently trades at R95.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R141.50, implying the stock looks roughly 47.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 77/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, AVI Limited generated revenue of 16.4B ZAR at a net margin of 15.7%. Revenue grew 4.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 48.9%. Net debt stands at 2.3B ZAR. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from R91.36 (bear case) to R191.14 (bull case); at R95.94, the current price sits within 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. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at 47%, AVI 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.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (R128.19) versus Asset-Based (R10.74). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
