Analysis

Capricorn Energy PLC (CRNZF) currently trades at $5.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.04, implying the stock looks roughly 20.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Energy 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, Capricorn Energy PLC generated revenue of $135M at a net margin of 14.1%. Revenue declined 26.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $86.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $4.00 (bear case) to $4.95 (bull case); at $5.07, 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 near its 52-week high and 107% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -20%, CRNZF 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
