Analysis

BEST S.A (BST) currently trades at 33.40 PLN, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 30.47 PLN, implying the stock looks roughly 8.8% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 24/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services 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, BEST S.A generated revenue of 631M PLN at a net margin of 20.7%. Revenue grew 67.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.6%. Net debt stands at 1.4B PLN. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 28.24 PLN (bear case) to 38.04 PLN (bull case); at 33.40 PLN, 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 2% below its 52-week high and 45% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -41% fair-value upside, at -9%, BST 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
