CognoGroup, Inc
CGNO · US
Fair value as of: Jul 29, 2026
From 4 valuation models · updated 13 days ago
Share price +14.7% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 13% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($0.0135). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- The models converge in a tight band ($0.0133 to $0.0135), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.
- Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

How to read this chart
60‑month range $0.0011 – $0.0700 · fair‑value band $0.0133 – $0.0135 · the $0.0195 price screens above the $0.0170 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 29, 2026.
Analysis
CognoGroup, Inc (CGNO) currently trades at $0.0195, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.0170, implying the stock looks roughly 12.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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, CognoGroup, Inc generated revenue of $7.9M at a net margin of 6.8%. Fundamentals as of Jul 29, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.0133 (bear case) to $0.0135 (bull case); at $0.0195, 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 41% below its 52-week high, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -13%, CGNO 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 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($0.6600) versus DCF Models ($0.4000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (64).
