What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($20.19). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- Solid quality (57/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Cohen & Company (COHN) currently trades at $11.26, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $26.92, implying the stock looks roughly 139.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Cohen & Company generated revenue of $299M at a net margin of 5.2%. Revenue grew 107.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 45.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $6.9M. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $20.19 (bear case) to $33.65 (bull case); at $11.26, the current price sits below 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 60% below its 52-week high and 54% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at 139%, COHN 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 13 models by family
Widest divergence: Earnings-Based ($201.18) versus Dividend Discount ($9.39). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
