Analysis

Columbus A/S (COLUM) currently trades at kr 9.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 3.37, implying the stock looks roughly 66.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Columbus A/S generated revenue of 1.6B DKK at a net margin of -0.1%. Revenue declined 3.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.8%. Net debt stands at 144M DKK. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from kr 2.53 (bear case) to kr 4.21 (bull case); at kr 9.94, 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 8% below its 52-week high and 9% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -66%, COLUM 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.

Widest divergence: Growth DCF (kr 6.67) versus Dividend Discount (kr 1.37). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
