Below-average quality, screening 112% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (27/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The model range is unusually wide (R$2.86 to R$22.92). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Cosan S.A (CSAN3) currently trades at R$3.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R$7.78, implying the stock looks roughly 111.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 27/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Cosan S.A generated revenue of R$39.8B at a net margin of -23.9%. Revenue grew 26.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -29.9%. Net debt stands at R$43.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026

Our scenario range runs from R$2.86 (bear case) to R$22.92 (bull case); at R$3.67, 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 57% below its 52-week high and 6% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 112%, CSAN3 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.
