Fair value as of: Jul 15, 2026
From 4 valuation models · updated 27 days ago
Fair value updated Jul 15, 2026, revised from $2.19 to $0.4200 (−80.8%) since Jun 24, 2026. Share price −22.1% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 64% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($0.6200). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (33/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- A fairly wide model range ($0.3100 to $0.6200) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
BuzzFeed, Inc (BZFD) currently trades at $1.16, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.4200, implying the stock looks roughly 63.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication 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: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, BuzzFeed, Inc generated revenue of $181M at a net margin of -33.3%. Revenue declined 12.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -90.2%. Net debt stands at $77.4M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.3100 (bear case) to $0.6200 (bull case); at $1.16, the current price sits above 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 57% below its 52-week high and 115% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -20% fair-value upside, at -64%, BZFD screens richer 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 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($0.4700) versus Multiples ($0.1700). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
