Analysis
Befesa S.A (BFSA) currently trades at €35.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €26.89, implying the stock looks roughly 24.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Befesa S.A generated revenue of €1.2B at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue declined 7.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.0%. Net debt stands at €548M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €15.55 (bear case) to €42.23 (bull case); at €35.80, 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 about 4% below its 52-week high and 47% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -33% fair-value upside, at -25%, BFSA 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.
