Analysis
Bayer Aktiengesellschaft (BAYN) currently trades at €49.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €49.39, implying the stock looks roughly 0.0% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare 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, Bayer Aktiengesellschaft generated revenue of €45.2B at a net margin of -4.8%. Revenue declined 2.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -6.9%. Net debt stands at €30.8B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €38.43 (bear case) to €88.24 (bull case); at €49.40, 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. The share trades near its 52-week high and 101% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at 0%, BAYN 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 15 models by family
