- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Credit Acceptance Corporation (CACC) currently trades at $585.58, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $526.83, implying the stock looks roughly 10.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 73/100 (solid 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, Credit Acceptance Corporation generated revenue of $1.3B at a net margin of 35.5%. Revenue grew 12.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 28.1%. Net debt stands at $5.9B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $275.57 (bear case) to $771.00 (bull case); at $585.58, 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 46% 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 -10%, CACC 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 13 models by family
