A strong business, but screening 32% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 78/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€65.28). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
DWS Group (DWS) currently trades at €76.45, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €52.22, implying the stock looks roughly 31.7% overvalued today. We read business quality at 78/100 (high quality), in the Financial Services 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, DWS Group generated revenue of €4.7B at a net margin of 21.3%. Revenue grew 8.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €863M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €39.17 (bear case) to €65.28 (bull case); at €76.45, 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 65% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -51% fair-value upside, at -32%, DWS 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: Growth Earnings (€79.35) versus Earnings-Based (€24.94). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
