Analysis
Corbion N.V (CRBN) currently trades at €20.06, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €15.36, implying the stock looks roughly 23.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Corbion N.V generated revenue of €1.3B at a net margin of 5.9%. Revenue declined 4.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.9%. Net debt stands at €436M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €10.78 (bear case) to €22.82 (bull case); at €20.06, 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 5% below its 52-week high and 28% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -23%, CRBN 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 24 models by family
