Analysis
Clariant AG (CLN) currently trades at CHF 10.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 16.16, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Clariant AG generated revenue of CHF 3.9B at a net margin of -1.9%. Revenue declined 7.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.8%. Net debt stands at CHF 1.8B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 9.87 (bear case) to CHF 23.29 (bull case); at CHF 10.10, 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 54% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 60%, CLN 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (CHF 13.54) versus Dividend Discount (CHF 4.02). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
