What matters now

- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc (CPSS) currently trades at $9.48, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $11.58, implying the stock looks roughly 22.2% 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc generated revenue of $203M at a net margin of 10.0%. Revenue grew 7.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.6%. Net debt stands at $3.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $8.68 (bear case) to $14.47 (bull case); at $9.48, 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 10% below its 52-week high and 42% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -41% fair-value upside, at 22%, CPSS 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 9 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($11.58) versus Dividend Discount ($3.87). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
