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.
  • The price sits in the upper half of our model range, so the margin of safety is thin.
  • The data supports the verdict: every model runs on fully documented inputs.

Analysis

AXA SA (CS) currently trades at €44.64, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €39.90, implying the stock looks roughly 11.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Economic Profit group reads highest at a median of €39.12 per share, and 1 of the 6 models we run sit above the €44.64 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at €15.54, and 5 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, AXA SA generated revenue of €94.7B at a net margin of 10.4%. Revenue grew 3.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €6.4B. Fundamentals as of Sep 6, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €29.93 (bear case) to €49.89 (bull case); at €44.64, 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 near its 52-week high and 29% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −11%, CS screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly €0.7474 per share, which is 1.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

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

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
