A solid business, but screening 80% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€0.8500). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (58/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range (€0.4300 to €0.8500) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

SBF AG (CY1K) currently trades at €3.21, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €0.6400, implying the stock looks roughly 80.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, SBF AG generated revenue of €40.7M at a net margin of -2.9%. Revenue declined 22.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -3.8%. Net debt stands at €1.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €0.4300 (bear case) to €0.8500 (bull case); at €3.21, 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 about 68% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -28% fair-value upside, at -80%, CY1K screens richer 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
