Cohen & Steers, Inc
CNS · US
Fair value as of: Jul 13, 2026
From 9 valuation models · updated 28 days ago
Share price +9.3% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 82% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($19.13). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (60/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Cohen & Steers, Inc (CNS) currently trades at $83.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $15.30, implying the stock looks roughly 81.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Cohen & Steers, Inc generated revenue of $567M at a net margin of 27.5%. Revenue grew 8.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 23.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $7.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $11.48 (bear case) to $19.13 (bull case); at $83.60, 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 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 -12% fair-value upside, at -82%, CNS screens richer 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 9 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($56.50) versus Asset-Based ($7.32). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
