Analysis
Coursera, Inc (COUR) currently trades at $5.81, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.92, implying the stock looks roughly 1.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: low), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Coursera, Inc generated revenue of $774M at a net margin of -8.2%. Revenue grew 9.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -10.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $788M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $4.97 (bear case) to $6.88 (bull case); at $5.81, 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 about 57% below its 52-week high and 16% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at 2%, COUR 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 7 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($8.25) versus Asset-Based ($1.49). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (72).
