Share price +1.7% over the past month.
Below-average quality, screening 28% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- Solid quality (45/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- A fairly wide model range ($0.7600 to $1.58) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
- Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.

Analysis
Chegg, Inc (CHGG) currently trades at $0.9157, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $1.17, implying the stock looks roughly 27.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: low), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Chegg, Inc generated revenue of $319M at a net margin of -26.9%. Revenue declined 47.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -55.9%. Net debt stands at $53.0M. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.7600 (bear case) to $1.58 (bull case); at $0.9157, 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 52% below its 52-week high and 103% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at 28%, CHGG 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
