Analysis
Barco NV (BAR) currently trades at €7.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €17.07, implying the stock looks roughly 115.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Barco NV generated revenue of €964M at a net margin of 7.4%. Revenue declined 0.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €186M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €12.44 (bear case) to €21.83 (bull case); at €7.94, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 44% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at 115%, BAR 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (€18.45) versus Dividend Discount (€5.01). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
