What matters now

  • The rarer combination: high quality (70/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (€14.62). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • A fairly wide model range (€14.62 to €34.10) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Ernst Russ AG (ERAG) currently trades at €7.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €22.50, implying the stock looks roughly 200.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Ernst Russ AG generated revenue of €125M at a net margin of 47.9%. Revenue declined 44.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 27.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €112M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €14.62 (bear case) to €34.10 (bull case); at €7.50, 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 18% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 67% fair-value upside, at 200%, ERAG 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.

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
