Analysis

Clarke Inc (CKI) currently trades at C$23.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$17.06, implying the stock looks roughly 26.8% overvalued today. We read business quality at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, Clarke Inc generated revenue of C$82.4M at a net margin of 35.8%. Revenue grew 4.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.5%. Net debt stands at C$285M. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from C$12.80 (bear case) to C$21.33 (bull case); at C$23.30, 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 36% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -62% fair-value upside, at -27%, CKI 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.

Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (C$45.27) versus Dividend Discount (C$0.4600). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
