Analysis
The Caldwell Partners International Inc (CWL) currently trades at C$1.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$1.82, implying the stock looks roughly 73.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, The Caldwell Partners International Inc generated revenue of C$115M at a net margin of 2.5%. Revenue grew 17.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of C$9.3M. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$1.37 (bear case) to C$2.28 (bull case); at C$1.05, the current price sits below 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 3% below its 52-week high and 72% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 23% fair-value upside, at 73%, CWL 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (C$2.28) versus Dividend Discount (C$0.0800). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
