Analysis

CPFL Energia S.A (CPFE3) currently trades at R$45.85, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R$85.67, implying the stock looks roughly 86.9% undervalued today. We read business quality at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities 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, CPFL Energia S.A generated revenue of R$45.1B at a net margin of 12.8%. Revenue grew 6.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.8%. Net debt stands at R$26.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from R$46.25 (bear case) to R$107.09 (bull case); at R$45.85, 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 14% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at 87%, CPFE3 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.
